Good Night Message -- 6/24

Daddy got home in time to see the kids, have dinner, and hang around with the family a bit this evening. The French camp continues, for Mommy and kids alike. Combine that with a visit from a neighborhood friend, swimming, and other activities, and you get this: two tired children (and a tired off screen Mommy). I think Maddy's yawns are staged. But the sleepy eyes were not.

Too Tired. Too Much Fun.

Good Night Message -- 6/22

The kids recap the day's activities. We can do better.

The kids started their second week of French camp today. And today was Mommy's first day of lessons too! By all accounts, the camp has been a success. Based on this video, however, we might need to work on our short-term memory skills.

Bon soir! (This posted a day late due to technical difficulties. Sorry.)

Poolside (UPDATED)

Here are the first takes on the Flip.

The swimmers are progressing well. John can and does jump into the pool solo without any bouyancy assistance. And the good news is that he can (nearly) swim solo. Maddy has been swimming well for a while. Recently, she started diving. Daddy is, well, floating with vast expertise.

The slide is ingenious, not cheap.

UPDATED -- I'm still learning the best way to upload videos. Please see my complaints department with any concerns. Enjoy!

I think this is in HD. Can you handle it?

Videos and More

It's been too long since I updated the website to begin to list the many valid reasons I have for my absence. So I won't even try. The good news is that we're back. Tomorrow is Father's Day. I got a Flip camcorder, so stand by for videos.

The Flip. Too cool.

I'll do my best to limit the videos to important stuff. Like the kids in the pool. Or playing. Or pretty much anything. Enjoy!
