Thankfulness

11:05 pm on Thu, 26 Nov 2009 , ,

Is there really any question what I’m thankful for?
This photo is a few months old by now, but it’s one of the few “formal” shots we’ve done of our family. It was an impromptu shoot in our bedroom started by The Woman in an attempt to capture Kayleigh spending some real fun time with daddy. [...]

Weekend update

10:21 pm on Sun, 22 Nov 2009 , ,

What is it with the Internet and weekends? I’ve noticed for sometime now that once the work week ends, posts, status updates, tweets, links, etc. all begin to run dry. Sure seems like, despite recommendations to the contrary, a lot of people still tie their personal Internet connectivity to their jobs. Tsk! Tsk!
Of course that [...]

Inspiration

11:57 pm on Mon, 16 Nov 2009 , , ,

As much as I love taking photos of Kayleigh, it sometimes feels like a photographic rut. But that has more to do with how few opportunities I get to be inspired away from her. But last night after finishing some quick clean up in the backyard I glanced towards the sunset and was reminded of [...]

Best reality show ever

11:41 pm on Sat, 14 Nov 2009 , ,

I caved. Or we caved. Somebody caved. After weeks of battling with the little one over her new desire to stand up in her crib in the middle of the night and demand attention, it was time for routines and reactions to be changed. And to help out, I finally ditched our el cheapo baby [...]

Too tired

11:11 pm on Thu, 12 Nov 2009

For the first time since before Kayleigh was born, every post on the main page is from the current month. And it’s not even the middle yet. Hooray!
A missed button screwed up my chance of actually posting every day, but I didn’t let that stop me from becoming active again. But the reality is that [...]

Awesome

Where do I begin? There’s these Russian women showing gratuitous cleavage while farming, cleaning, working in a machine shop, etc. Interested yet? Yeah, not really. But then some black metal music kicks in and… well… some Stalin zombies attack them. Have I got your attention? What if I told you that only one man could [...]

Sunny day sweeping the clouds away

11:09 pm on Tue, 10 Nov 2009 , , ,

Kayleigh most likely called today a “sunny day”. I’m beginning to think that she doesn’t know what the word “sunny” means. But it’s a habit she’s picked up from one of her two favorite TV shows – Sesame Street or, as she calls it, Murray Street. It’s pretty amazing to realize that the show my [...]

The alternative vocabulary

3:34 pm on Sun, 8 Nov 2009 ,

Kayleigh’s been talking for some time now. And I don’t mean that babbling stuff babies typically do when they’re simply trying to mimic adults. I mean she’s been speaking English – real words and real sentences for some time. People are often caught off guard when they hear such a wee one use phrases like [...]
