WTG, Buddy!

One day, I looked over and saw THIS:

which blew me away. It had been my habit after bath time to write out the next steps before lights-out and draw a clock indicating the time we were going to his room. And one day, I forgot. So, Adam took it upon himself to do it. He even got the time right. It was on the late side that night - 7:15 is what we're usually aiming for, so that Dion and I can watch The Office together at 7:30. I think it was his first attempt at a clock and this was one of his best 5's I've seen.

The Thinker

Naomi is rather pensive for a toddler. I like how that shows up here. I also like the crazy outfit. Naomi has a ladybug obsession and she found this summer top with ladybugs embroidered on it among Clare's hand-me-downs and demanded that it be put on her.

Happy Birthday, Dion!

I don't know much about fashion but ...

Aren't some looks supposed to (at least attempt to) appear effortless or accidental? Y'know, like "oops, you can see my bra strap/boxers" or like the feathery hairstyles from the 70s were supposed to look "wind-swept." But then when you lose sight of the wind-swept part, you end up with the teased-out, hairsprayed, rock-hard monstrosities of the eighties?

So, I really got the giggles when I thought about the outfit on the guy at McDonald's. I'm sure that I've seen this before but I had just not thought about it. His boxers were showing. (to each their own.) They were showing a lot. (again, to each their own.) But his pants were not saggy. closer to skin-tight. And he was wearing a BELT.

Dude, you're trying way too hard. Find another way to accessorize. Actually, the belt was kinda nice. It was a good accessory. Too bad it was upstaged by the display of actually-kinda-ho-hum-boxers.

Adam Behind The Camera

Adam was kinda bored during some of the games at the TUC Playoffs a couple of weeks ago, so we let him use my camera. with a little help so that at least it didn't get dropped.

So here's how an ultimate tournament looks through the eyes of a 3-year old. It involves a lot of knees, feet, grass, and sky. A lot of the grass and sky shots were left on the cutting room floor. You get the idea anyway.

Old Stuff - Naomi Walking

Naomi had been walking for almost two months when we finally got around to getting some video of her. It's taken another five months to post the video. Thanks to MarkMark for the footage from May 5, 2010 at Kevin and Susanna's place. Those are Junko and MarkMarks' boys, Leif and Conan, in the foreground.
