Caden's first hike

Aunt Nikki took these pictures during our hike last weekend to Quicksilver park.

Boone came with us and he did pretty good in the sense that it was hot and he was able to stay out in the heat as long as he did. It was a beautiful day and we all had a nice relaxing time out on the trail together.

I won't miss this.

No no no, it's not pronounced "holly wood!" nor is it "holly would?".. it is just plain "Hollywood"! LOL

Morning Poem

Five forty-eight
All quite and the night sky in flight
Moon is a site
Orion is mite
Boone is quite, laying like midnight
Our Future is so bright

A mornings walk

Each Saturday and Sunday we go for a walk to the park together as a Family. It was a bit chilly at 59 degree's with a heavier than normal wind. At this time of the season, this is cold esp. when you consider it will be at least 21 degree's warmer this afternoon. This mornings weather was something you would experience in San Francisco as their typical summers are cold and foggy. [click the photo to enlarge it]

Ice cream (movie - Aug 08)

I believe this to be Caden's first time eating ice cream. Very cute expressions.

This is one of the first times that Caden held his own milk bottle. On this video you'll also see how he tells us he no longer wants it too! ;)

Chambers? Yes, Chambers

There is a tradition of sorts over at Cisco in which John Chambers
takes employees out for breakfast for their birthday. Catherine is one
of them this morning!
Sure there are about 300 other Sept birthday employees joining her,
but none the less, breakfast with "John". :)

This picture was taken on a journey not long ago when two people were
just starting off their new lives, together.
A spontaneous journey to the North. Talking of future goals and
hopes. One of those came true, Caden.

Taking a tough fall

He is a tough boy, and tough boys bounce back!
Caden took a fall at school yesterday while standing (leaning) against
a child wall in the classroom. As he was pivoting himself to look in
another direction he fell and hit his chin on the floor, pushing his
bottom three teeth up into top gums. He bled a lot and it scared the
bejesus out of me. Trying to keep a calm look to me, all I kept
thinking was he'll need stitches. But as I got a good look at him I
realized my fears were not warranted. He cried and I consoled him. In
a short time he was fine and even cracked a smile :)
Love that boy, I do!

Boys out for a walk

Out for our morning walk we are.
Caden is making noises that sound like a car starting it's engine;
"zzggrrrrrr, zzzggrrrrr". He does this over and over. I've never heard
him pronounce this.

Something catchy

I was up the other night waiting to locate a water leak in the
sprinkler system. That is when I took this snapshot of our yard.
There is something catchy about this picture. Something that draws me
to it, maybe it is the lighting? I don't know.
Anyhow, the leak was spotted and I identified the zone that was
surfacing that water. No more wasted water now.

Test to subjecto

Sending a quick test.
