Double Trouble

[/photos/random/pic9C2tt2.jpg] Zoom out and what do we see? Double trouble. Katherine's goal in life is to set Vincent free. We have a pretty secure play area for Vincent that combines the kitchen, family room and hallway. Unfortunately, it's not fool-proof. One three year old sister is all it takes. The door is open and Vincent bolts. [/photos/random/picPx6KUw.jpg]

Water Baby

[/photos/random/piccOFZ9B.jpg] Vincent's loves water. Whether it's the bath or pool, toilet or jacuzzi, if it has water, Vincent's trying to get in. [/photos/random/picOSrnWi.jpg] Luckily, summer's almost here. No more double bundling the wee ones. Time for shorts; shirts optional.

Dizzy

A lot of things came together today and this afternoon I was %feeling% strange. I gave up coffee, started [Atkins | http://www.atkinscenter.com/] and stained the new --french-- freedom [doors | /archives/000324.html]. All of which could make me feel off. So which was it?? * Caffine withdrawal * Exposure to toxic chemicals * Meat, meat, meat Must have been the fumes. Just finished the last coat of polyurethane and my lungs are feeling funny again.

House Work

Work starts on the house. We're replacing the door and window in the kitchen and family room. Small step, but it's the %first% step. After this, we can start thinking about a new floor and kitchen counter. Out with the old: [/photos/random/IMG_2140.jpg] And in with the new: [/photos/random/IMG_2142.jpg]

Iceskating

We practically spent more time lacing Katherine's skates than she spent on the ice. One fall was all. Oh well, at least she got comfortable walking in the skates.

Danger Danger

Vincent's at the dangerous age now. Loves to climb up the stairs, on the couch, over the dog. And don't get too far behind him because he also rolls down the stairs, falls off the couch and gets licked by the dog.

Saddam's Yacht

Saddam's yacht was bombed into submission. And in true James Bond super-villian style, a secret escape route in the ship exists that leads to a mini-submarine.

We never see Jessica and Jacque together these days. Jessica is off school for a week and is staying with the grandparents. Don't work too hard :-)

It was a nice day. Perfect weather to eat outside and enjoy the garden.

Donica's Ready

We visited Suzy's friend Donica on Saturday. Wanted to quickly see her before she checks in this Monday morning and delivers. Donica was relaxed, glowing and ready.

Good luck Donica.
