James & Janet

Kian taking a quick nap during the sightseeing around Portland.

Janet, Kian and I just returned from Portland and Kelley’s wedding. A wonderful evening and Kelley looked fantastic. Hopefully, we’ll have more photos to look at soon, but until then, here’s a teaser.

I took Kian to the park recently to kill some time with a soccer ball. Surprisingly, he picked it up fairly quickly for only being around 15 months old…

I came across this article at Cracked.com titled The 9 Most Devastating Insults From Around The World and had to share it. Beware, it’s filthy, foul-mouthed and utterly disgusting - but hey, if you can’t have a little of that in your life, then Chupe mantequilla de mi culo!

Most every night Kian gets a bath, or a good soaking in the kitchen sink. The latest interest when in the sink is making sure he has a clean tongue… he feels it’s very important.

After his bath, we all sit in the living room and decide what to watch before bed. Should it be Classical Baby? Something on the Noggin network?

Once the decision is made, Kian settles in. As you can see, Daddy has already been training him to use his finger to push the buttons on the remote. He’ll be a couch sleeper in no-time.

I haven’t had time to post any new photos or news updates lately because I’ve been busy writing articles and reviewing software. Of course, Kian keeps Janet and I quite busy as well. On top of that, Kelley is in town for the final leg of med school before moving here.

Hopefully, we’ll have more stuff soon.

Rufus is quite fond of his frisbee. We trained him as a puppy to catch and retrieve them and he’s so fond of it that we normally have to take it away or he will just keep bringing it back to us to toss again and again - to the point where he’s so exhausted he can no longer stand up.

In the photo above, he got about four feet of air on the catch.

Another photo from our backyard photo session. I’m not one to wear these goofy shirts, but Janet found these and I thought they were awesome… even if I would never wear it in public!

Janet had a friend come over and shoot some photos of us in the backyard recently. We got some really great pics, and this is the first of the series I’ll post.

Mom recently tried sharing some cotton candy with Kian at the DLC company picnic. Click the photos to view the images larger.
