Aaron's Big Adventure

About a month ago Aaron was offered an opportunity to live out the dream of going on the road with a rock band. His buddies in Windowpane signed up for a month long tour with the headliner band Five Finger Death Punch. He will go along as manager/merchandise salesman/guitar tech.

Group photo just before they piled in the van to start the 18 hour drive to Vegas. There will be 6-7 guys driving the 8,000 mile trip in that there van.

Nice fuzzy portrait in the dark on the road.

Another one about five hours into the trip.

A good view of the set up in the van. Looks decent since 2 guys can lay down and sleep at any given time, with one co-pilot to keep the pilot awake and 2-3 guys on the bench seat in the back.

Note: These following posts are done with limited information so you will have to wait for Aaron to come back and fill in the details.

Sunshiney Day

Evidence of a wonderful afternoon spent outside.

Baby Belly 20 weeks

First belly picture of this pregnancy. This was taken about 6 weeks ago so when my Mum and Dad get here next week we'll take another one.

Chronicles of A Megawalk

Today was the first day in many many days that it did not pour down rain or snow or hail (yesterday it hailed hard for about 15 minutes leaving the ground covered in ice that lasted until mid day today) so Matthew and I took advantage of the "good" (it was barely above freezing) weather and went for a walk. Daddy was up to his eyeballs in rock and roll tour last minute details.

About half way we stopped along the river to throw rocks in the water.

Picking the best and biggest.

We were almost home when the walk degraded to this.

The last block was really slow for all of us.

Mummy I Just Need a Coconut

The night before this video was taken Matthew woke up from a nightmare telling me he needed a coconut. After I laughed and got yelled at for laughing, I agreed to get him a coconut the next day. Thinking he had forgotten about it while we were playing the next morning he looked at me again and said "Mummy I just need a coconut." I asked why and his response "So I can drink the milk out of it with a straw". Duh. On our way home from work we stopped at the store and got a coconut, Daddy drilled three holes and we stuck a straw in it.

After he decided he wasn't a fan of coconut milk we had to open it to see what was inside. Turns out the actual coconut is as unimpressive as the milk.

Giggles with Archie

When Archie comes into the house there is a lot of giggling and running and general chaos. By the time Archie has pooped out and Matthew is headed for a nap the kid is covered in dog hair and dog lick.
