Happy Birthday Kaine!, Stickers, and Waiting For Aunty Kat And Aunty Mel

Happy 12th Birthday Kaine! There was a party with cake and presents and stickers! Daddy missed the fun, but Danae and Mommy filled him in with stories and cake.

Did I mention stickers? Because stickers are our new thing. It is amazing watching her take stickers from the old place and re-arrange them on a new place, then take them back. Apparently nothing in Minutia was self adhesive.

We are anxiously awating the arrival of Mrs. Latham and Mrs. Brown (A.k.a. Diaz and Mel). I'm told there will be margarittas involved.

This was the one that did it. Babygirl is finally sick of the camera. Thanks alot Mommy!





There are stickers involved in this video - be warned!

Phoenix is exactly a month old today! Yay eat, poop and sleep!

More Words, More Teeth and Pie!

We are a little late with the blog this week, Daddy had to watch the Colts whip up on the Jaguars last night (29-7). We have had a very exciting week! We are also saying "Cheese" and "Keys" and "GG". We're getting better at who's "Mommy" and who's "Daddy". I think she might have been mixing them up on purpose because it gets such rise out of us.

We got the Jungle Book on DVD. Not as thrilling as Finding Nemo or Cars, but Daddy is happy to report that Danae dances during the musical numbers - especially "I Wanna Walk Like You".

Daddy is sad to report that we have stopped rocking Danae to sleep at night. Mommy gets Danae to sleep at 8:45, but Daddy never got her down before 9:30. It was decided that Daddy's method might be detracting from over-all sleep management. Daddy misses rocking Babygirl dearly.

Mommy, Grandma Sue and the Girl GG made appple pies this week. Mommy has been pushing the pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Mommy and Daddy went and got haircuts this morning from someone besides Aunty Cat for the first time in like, 8 years. Daddy is not happy with his haircut. Not Happy!

Our musical training is coming along nicely. So far we have mastered the guitar, drums, the bassoon and now the organ!

okay, maybe the bassoon hasn't been mastered yet, but we're only 17 months!

Parties, Pasta and Pumpkins!

We had a busy and wonderful week! We had a house-warming party, we went apple picking, we ate noodles , and we carved pumpkins!

We are also saying "mommy" indiscriminately to Mommy and Daddy. Daddy was a little worried, but he's over it now.

We seem to be picking up words at random. Some words stick, and some words don't. Everynight we're practicing "eye, nose, mouth, head, hair".

The house-warming party was excellent! Everyone seem to have a great time (although it was a little short on chairs). Danae even got to dance a little - her favorite thing to do in crowds!

The next day we went apple-picking with Grandpa Bill! In this picture, Mommy and Danae are actually hauling in the harvest apples for the season. It's true!

After a hard day of apple harvesting, nothing beats being pulled around by Kaine. It's good practice for football.

We also ate spaghetti for the first time!

And finally, the pumpkin carving, which we had absolutely no interest in whatsoever. We played with brooms most of the time, although I think we enjoyed being in the garage.

We Live In Port Huron Now!

Many things have happened in the last two weeks! We're happy to report only minor breakage during the move. Everything went fine despite a few hitches here and there. Much better than moving 1500 miles, let me tell you! The cats still sang to me on the ride though.


Little Phoenix made his debut on September 29th! Yay Aunty Cat and Greg!



Danae finally got to ride the rocking horse Grandpa Ron and Grandma Fely got her for her first birthday, and guess what? She loves it!

We have discovered where all the mud puddles are in the new house. We put them to good use.




In case your wondering, yes, almost every activity ends in nudity.

Danae helped Daddy put the T.V. together!

Happy Birthday Grandma Sue and Pigtails!

This Wednesday was Grandma Sue's Birthday! She turned 39! Yay Birthdays! Daddy missed the party but Danae told him all about it.

We have had a busy week! We have been packing (this may be the last blog until we get settled) and Mommy has been cleaning the house.

We would also like to thank eveyone for watching our movies! Now, if you google "Danae Marie", the first choice is one of her movies!

We stepped on our own shades and broke them, so now we have to borrow Daddy's. We still look pretty cool though.

Pigtails!

Sometimes we play with the kids outside. Everyone is much older though, and they are very fast...


I know this one is long, but I love how she gets into it.

Money, Crayons and Outside

Our favorite thing is now to dump out the coin jar in Mommy and Daddy's room and play with the coins while Daddy frantically tries to wrangle them. It's fun. I acted like I was pulling a penny out of her ear one time, and nows she listens to every penny!

Our second favorite thing is coloring. Eight colors of washable wonderfulness. We move from the paper (ideal) to the window (ok...cool...) to the cat door (ummm...) to the entertainment center (wait a minute!) to the T.V. (not cool!).

Third favorite thing? Going outside. We will drop pretty much anything to put on our shoes and little flower hat. Daddy doesn't know how well this will work in December or January.

Another in a series of Daddy and Danae pictures

This is the earliest one I could find from Aunty Jen's and Uncle Rusty's engagement party. She has made friends with the camera since.

These are experiments in letting Danae take movies. Daddy feels that she is an avante garde voice of the new american cinema. Daddy also feels she has excellent use of plot and theme.

Happy Birthday to Aunty Cat! She turned, like, 19 on Thursday.

She is doing very well, and we should be meeting little Phoenix on the 24th! Yay Babies!

Cleanin' Up The Hizzy

Mommy and Danae have been cleaning up the new house almost everyday. Aunty Jen was excited and thrilled to come and help...

... until the paint fumes drove her insane!

Danae , as noted, has been a champ with the drive there and back.

When we need a break, we head over to Aunty Jen's house and mess with her dog!

First we find the cell phone...

Then we make the dog talk on it....

Then we make him eat it! "Yummy, puppy!".

No new movies this week, but we'll make it up next week. Promise!
