Magic Papa

So Matthew is typically a pretty picker eater unless apparently his Papa is eating something. They were eating a pulled pork taco with sour cream, avacado, salsa and lime. He won't eat meat unless it is the shape of a chicken nugget not to mention the corn tortilla! The next night he sat with his Papa and ate chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese, basil and almonds with peas and mashed potatoes!!!! (translation: peen=plane)

The Hair

After Matthew's bath each night we blow dry his hair. It creates the most awesomest coiff.

The best way to get a picture of Matthew: distract him with the TV, have him point out the Teradactyl on his jammies and ask him to show his teeth.

A little backlight to creat a halo effect.

I know he's mad in this picture but his hair looks great!

This isn't so much about the hair as it is about him hiding inside the new bin we bought for the Christmas decorations.

Mackenzie Came to Visit

While Mackenzie was here last weekend we tried to get some good pictures of her with Matthew. These are the better of the results of this attempt.

Oooh so close and yet so far.

In the end we did pretty good but its not so hard when your subjects are this good lookin'.

Where did the Kitty go?

Today Moe was flushed out from under the covers in Mackenzie's room and there was a bit of a frantic chase around the house to find out where he went.

I came into the kitchen to see this accompanied by: "eeis, eeim, food" Translation: "There he is, I see him, he's eating his food."

Poor Moley, there really is no escape.

Melt My Heart

Snapped this the other day as Matthew was trying desperatly to climb into my lap to see "Machew" in the camera. It's those eyes man, they get me every time.

Waiting for Garbage Trucks with Papa

Every Tuesday morning when the garbage trucks come by there is a big production to get out there and watch. We can hear them coming for at least 10 minutes before they come by our house so there is a lot of waiting in the cold dark early hours of the day.

This week Papa was here to stand outside and wait with Matthew. At least it wasn't raining.

Still waiting. The truck must be pretty close now as they have moved into optimal viewing position.

The big moment has arrived. Papa got a good week when all three trucks come by (garbage, recycling and yard waste) so he got to stand outside extra long.

New Video Camera

This year for Christmas I got an HD video camera so I'm posting the first one. I only hope it is better than the old camera.
