Frustrated

There’s a big secret I’ve been keeping from our readers. We did not want to let the cat of the bag before Kyle sealed the deal. It’s been a family plan even before Ethan was conceived that around this time we would make an international relocation.

GE world headquarters has offered Kyle a great position. In three weeks our family will be living on the east coats. Can I tell you how excited I am to play with the boys on the beach whenever we want? Okay, so it’s not the cute little Ballard I dearly love, but coming from a fabulous yet land locked country I am THRILLED at the thought of wading in low tide with our shovels and sand castle buckets.

Here’s the frustration, I started this blog as a way to connect family to our boys’ daily growth by sharing photos of their daily happenings. Kyle bought me a new camera in May. This thing is beyond my smarts or had I known a thing or two about digital photography, I might foresee this coming. Our computer takes forever to upload the pictures from the memory box. After saving all my patience for Aidan and Ethan, I just loose patience over the silliest thing, like the computer. Thus the photo log updates are not so updated but outdated.

So here’s the catch, for a while this blog will serve as a message board until I get my new HP computer with Adobe Lightroom where I can properly manage picture files more timely.

Thanks for reading.

First steps

Ethan took a grand total of nine steps last night. His first three steps were taken on Sunday from Kyle's arms to mine. Even though the camera was only a reach away, I was busy enjoying this very special moment. I promise a photo soon!

Trouble

Last week I went looking for Ethan and found him in our bedroom oh so quiet doing this! See what I mean? Too cute to be in trouble.

Thu and Trina


The lovely photo above was taken by my three year old photgrapher at Seegraben ( it is the lake of Jucker farm). Trina and I decided to take an early outing one morning with Mr. Aidan.

Father's Day


Father's Day 2008

Kyle recieved the book '33 uses for a dad" and a stainless steel BBQ set. Kyle's new book is a bundle of laughs. We had to ban it from the bedtime book selection because we just can not stop laughing after we read it! I know you will understand why when you read it too.

Even in the rain he will take Aidan for a bike ride to the over pass where they can watch the train go by. Ethan can be beside himself and Kyle never looses his patience. One morning I woke up to complete silence and thought it was a dream. When I made my way to the kicthen, Aidan was detailing his fire truck and Ethan looked like he was counting potatos while Kyle stood in the corner make me a coffee. Who would not be in love with a man like that? Happy father's day honey!

P.S. We also want to say happy father's day to Tia and Mike.
