BUY THIS BOOK

My friend Don Kilpatrick illustrated a children's book, which is mother-in-law wrote.

It is called "You Can't Go to School Naked" and tells the tale of a boy who does indeed want to go to school naked. When I showed the book to my emerging reader, Caleb, he said each word of the title until he got to Naked. He then covered his mouth and laughed for about a minute and a half.

It's prose is very clever and the illustrations remind me of old-school books from my youth.

If you don't buy it for your kids, i'll be sending out copies for Christmas to those of you lucky souls that I buy presents for.

Early Morning Workout

Bad start to the day. My alarm didn't go off as planned, so I was late getting up for my trip to the gym.
I was rushing around quietly, when Caleb woke up crying. I tried to put him in bed with Debbie, hoping he would go back to sleep or at least lay there all cute as he usually does. Nope.

Kelsey was awake downstairs for some reason. (She's an early morning riser as I was at her age. I remember gettin up at six and watching Archie with sound off, so I wouldn't wake my mom. Kelsey has no worries letting the TV blast that early) Caleb didn't want to watch Rolie Polie Olie with her. All he wanted was for me to stand with him, not sit, while holding a red balloon.

Aarrghhh.

Tivo Woe

I've been scouring the message boards trying to find a way to get Tivo programs to transfer and run on a Mac. You would think that the wizards at Tivo would have realized that there's probably a higher percentage of Mac Users who have Tivo and would use the TivoToGo service than PC users.

Their website says that they are working on a Mac version. It can't be that hard guys. Come on!!!

My little boy who turned two last week has been a joy to be around. I love watching him get excited about little things like trains and balloons. He runs around the house laughing and jumping. It's going to be sad when he's grown up and I just have these memories to remember the special times.

I must take more video of this.

Let it Snow

Well we've been here in Utah about a month now and seen out fair share of snow. The great thing is that it never gets too cold, as in Chicago. On a cold morning, it's about 25 degrees and usually gets above freezing fairly quickly. Which means that snowmen melt sooner than hoped, but within a couple days there's another fresh snow waitin to be scupted into Parson Brown.

Karissa is the biggest fan of the snow. She is in such a good mood in the morning when she looks out at the fresh powder.

I think this weekend might be good for our first ski/snowboard adventure.
