Today was the family trip to the Canadian National Exhibition, It was great but tiring. Jacob was asleep 2 minutes after getting into the car, I’m sure Nana, Papa wished they could have done the same. They took Jacob earlier in the day and Melissa, Violet, Aunt Debbie and I came after Melissa got home from work. We took a ton of pictures with our Nikon, but I think I’ll just use this shot from my phone for my picture of the day. It was near the end of our night and Jacob was waiting to ride a kids Roller Coaster when Violet say the duck pound game. She loved it. She kept grabbing at the ducks and saying ‘Quack quack.’ I think she might have even said ducky. A little after this picture Nana took her to play the game and she didn’t let go of her little price till we got to the car.
I’ll review the rest of the photos soon and do a post just about the day. Just don’t have the energy tonight.
Today after work we headed out as a family, both kids wanted to sit on the back seat of the stroller. So we squeezed them in, and they actually seemed happy about it.
Todays picture is of someones dinner, before I would call it food. It’s a picture of a sink full of crabs, that my boss was planning to make for dinner. I’m not sure the type of grab they are, but when he showed them to me I knew I had my picture of the day.
Today I headed out for a run, It’s been almost 10 days since I’ve gone out for a run. Last time I was out I pulled a muscle in my thigh and haven’t been able to run. After re-injuring my muscle on the weekend I figured as soon as I thought I could handle it. It wasn’t an easy run, but I managed to get close my pre-injury pass, but it was hard. It’s amazing how much can be mental, as I was running I was watching my pass in Runkeeper and It seemed I was going very slowly. It took a while but I soon realised that I was looking at Miles and not KM. It all worked out in the end and I’m looking forward to my next run, tomorrow or Friday.
Today as we walked home from the store, Jacob tried to walk along the narrow wooden divider hear our house. He was pretty good at it, though he still needs to hold one to something or someone.
Today’s pictures is of Violet and Jacob enjoying there Blue Barry desert. It’s amazing how much Violet loves eating at our little table. I think it might be time to retire her high chair.
Today we have a picture of a victim of a tragic accident. I wont go into the details, just show the effect. I’m currently seeing what I can do for the poor thing. It looks like we’re going to clip it’s wings and turn this once free roaming computer into a desktop. I’m always interested in extending the life of computers, even when they aren’t mine.
Today Jacob built himself a fort the way I did when I was a kid, bed sheets and furniture. I snapped this picture of Jacob while he played with his Jesse in the fort.
Instead of another Picture of Jacob on the ice, I decided to use a blurry one of Violet playing with the Fisher Prices Laugh and Learn house. We got it for Jacob’s first Christmas (I think) and it’s still amusing our little ones.
Today is Cavity day, I write this while sitting in the chair pictured. Any minute now the dentist will come in and get to work. He came and did his work. The were minor cavities and didn’t even need to freeze me. Unfortunately he found another Larger cavity that he’ll have to fix another day.
