Christmas, 2009 from Mike C on Vimeo.

I wrote a post for last Christmas that included pictures but never got around to making a video until now. So here it is, a video of our Christmas 2009 get-together with friends and family.

Note: if the video stutters, click on the “HD is On” button so that it changes to “HD is Off.”

We went to Grandma’s last week and played in her green and blossoming garden. You may noticed a little red gnome frolicking in these pics…

Goodbye, February 2010

We just got back from a get-together at my mom’s place. It was great getting caught up, eating (of course), and just relaxing. Lucy got a chance to play with her cousins. She gets so excited, flapping her arms and constantly moving about. Her cousins must constantly tell her to stay in one place when they play catch because Lucy can’t stand still.

February hasn’t been the best of months. A good friend had a bit of a rough month health-wise. Fortunately, though things were looking a little hairy for a while, he’s doing a lot better now.

Stuff I’ve watched/read this month:

movies & books

tv

Music

This post has to be a quick one because the kid just dropped by and said “It’s time for block time.” So, since I have a playdate that’s awaiting, here are a few words and pics having to do with music.

Jill and Lucy came back from a visit with Auntie Laura the other day raving about a radio show Auntie had playing, Little Steven’s Underground Garage. The music is really cool, much of it neat pop/rock stuff from the 60s. (I didn’t even know Soupy Sales had a catchy tune called Your Brains Will Fall Out.) Note: though the music is great, the web site is pretty terrible.

We usually listen to music while we play, so the kid is already developing her own taste about what she likes. (note: the kid just dropped by again. I’m running late!) She’s even got to the point where she’s curious about making music. Jill and I will do our best to encourage this curiosity. Who knows, maybe she’ll turn out to be another Soupy Sales! Probably not.

Oh well, I’m off to play blocks. Bye.

Cat Show

Lucy put on a cat show last night. She made a podium out of some boxes, and the three of us judged the cats. Since there was a tie, madame had the deciding vote on the winners.

Here is the winners circle…little grey checked kitten won first prize, followed by yellow kitten and Jiji. Notably absent was…
