In honour of meet the teacher night at Jacob’s school I’ve decided to use a picture of Jacob headding off to school. It was weird client scheduling of today that let me get home in the middle of the day and take such a cute picture of our little school boy.
Today Violet turned 20 months. She celebrated it with the sniffles. I snapped this picture while Violet played in her room before bed. I had hopped to get a better shot but with the first illnesses of the fall sweeping through our house It just didn’t work out. Tomorrow I hope to post my letter to my little angle, so stay tuned.
Today Melissa and I picked up new gates to keep our children out of mischief. While at toys-r-us we looked over some possible presents for the kids, I found one of me but Melissa wouldn’t let me get it.
Today the family packed up a lunch and headed out to Chudleighs for some apple picking. It was a great day, for my picture tonight I thought I’d change it up, usually I’d choose a cute on with the kids, but not today. Today we have a picture of an apple tree with its apples spread around its base.
Today I was walking through Dundas west station and saw this announcement board. Its based on GPS in the street cars, months back I had taken a picture of the trail signs at Spadina (Project 365-068: TTC Streetcar Tracking). That struck me is about this sign today is that Dundas West used to have sides forecasting the next arrival of street cars. Over a decade ago they had screen that showed the next schedule vehicles, sure it was based on where they should be and not where they are. But like the Time Line Schedule I always found it helpful.
Today Melissa posted on Facebook that Jacob was reading the paper work for a fun fair they are having at his school (I’m still not used to thinking that Jacob has a school, but that’s a post for another day). So tonight when we sat down for computer time and he asked to go to starfalls.com I thought it would make a perfect picture of the day. It’s amazing watching as he sounds out letters and tries to form words.
Well today I took a step I’ve been debating all summer. Today I joined weight watchers. I’ve been loosing weight sence spring, working out and trying to eat better. Well as I’ve watched my weight hover around the 240s for the last 6 weeks it became clear that I needed to get serious about what I’m eating. To help with that I’ve joined Weight watchers. I’ll be talking about the process in the coming weeks so stay tuned.
A couple of weeks ago I’d doing some computer work for a friend, I posted a picture of their busted laptop at the time. Because of the quirkiness of technology I ended up swapping my labour and a monitor, for a new monitor they had purchased that wouldn’t work right with their laptop. It’s worked out great, we’re both happy. The strange thing is native resolution of the new monitor is 1600 x 900. My old monitor and my current second monitor run at 1280 x 1024. So I’ve lost 124 pixels vertically and gained 320 horizontally, what’s surprised me is the times that I’ve missed the 124 pixels. It seems that the extra horizontal space ends up being waisted. Of course the wide screen is great for watching movies, and I’m sure I’ll get used to the shorter screen.
Today was Jacobs first official day of kindergarten. To celebrate Melissa and I (mostly Melissa) made Jacob a Schultüte. It was a big hit with our little guy. Violet was really interested it, but she’ll have to wait 3 years before she can get her own.
Tonight I decided to share a picture of my sleeping angle. All snug in her crib with her Bunny and her Baby. She’s growing up so fast, before I know it we’ll be taking the crib down for a big girl bed.
