In keeping with this blogs small tradition of noting dates and occasions, fifteen years ago today one of my favourite albums came out; Pearl Jam’s second album ‘Vs’.

(more…)

Wow.  I don’t think I’ve ever gone 6 weeks without posting at least something trivial.  In an effort to get back on track I’ve got some shots of the kids from the past couple months or so.  In general, rockin’ is their business and business is good.

Porter is enjoying school (contrary to what he’ll tell you if you ask) and has become the class clown (frequently to his 2 teachers’ amusement, a couple times seriously to his detriment), he’s reading really really well, and still full on into Star Wars.  Jessie is starting to talk quite a bit and she’ll use the noun and verb in a sentence while we fill in the rest.  She can count to 2 (or she’ll say “both”), likes to read, is fearless, and full on into the “mine mine mine” stage that her big brother skipped.  Both really like music, Jessie prefers to air guitar while Porter likes air drums.  More detail on those things another time.

Onward!

No Reader’s Digest for Jessie, she likes Rolling Stone.

While Trish cat napped Jessie undertook a candy tasting.

Jessie sleeping with her favourite book (more on that at a later time)

This pose was right after her birthday.

I spied on the kids reading a couple weeks ago while I was off doing some chores.  Isn’t there a juvenile delinquent take on the Jane’s Addiction ‘Been Caught Stealing?’ (been caught readin’ once/when I was five/i enjoy reading/it’s simple as that/when I want some books man/I don’t want to pay for them/their mine/mine all mine/guitar solo).  I’ll work on it and get have Kidz Bop get back to you.

A really cool picture of them on their respective wheels.

Porter took Tae Kwon Do lessons and liked it pretty well.  Then, the trial cost ran out and became ouchie inducing costs.  After investigating a few more places they seem a bit like credit cards.  You get the low introductory rate and after that runs out you get hosed.  He’s too young for the YMCA’s program but he’s back in swimming lessons (thanks Mom & Dad!) and doing really well.

My favourite picture of Porter may be this one.  It really shows what a happy kid we’ve got. He is the best little man in the whole wide world after all.

Word y’all.
