Things are looking up

Campbell has started to watch people go up the stairs, whether it makes her fall over or fall out of your hands.  We thought it was pretty cute so we had to snap a pic of her looking up.

Warehouse Mouse and hippies

Noah wanted to wear a new shirt of his this morning. A small, seemingly innocuous comment by me meant I spent my morning trying to explain what a 'hippie' is. He didn't like any of my answers even though I tried it all from simple to honest. I finally decided there are just some things a 4year old just isn't going to get. I may just drop him off at Gilmore's house this weekend and let him explain the 60s to him.

On another note-when I snapped this pic Noah was watching the Disney channel. I have my weekly schedule down so when 'Where is Warehouse Mouse?' came on I totally freaked out. This is a 5 minute short every morning that transitions to the 730 show. Hearing the theme music was basically an alarm that it is now 725.

Without even realizing it-this show has become the metric I use for how I'm doing on time. I drop off the kids each morning. It takes about 15 minutes. On days I start on the east side of town I need to be out the door at the end of Warehouse Mouse-BUT-on days I start on the west side I need to be out the door before the Imagination Movers start to look for their furry little friend.

So I yell, 'Noah-get to the car now!!!' I scoop up Campbell and start stuffing her in the carseat. He just stands there. We never have to rush like this so I can see his doubt. 'Now Noah!' he starts to walk slowly to the door but he has to ask why so he does. Not sure why but I yelled 'Because Warehouse Mouse said so!!!!'

Then as serious as you can possibly believe he looks at me and says 'Is he a hippie Dad?'

Photo galleries are live

I'm going back and putting up some photo galleries from recent events.  I plan to add past events as well.  Right now just click "Photo Galleries" in the menu bar.  I say right now because I'm not really sold on that title.  When I come up with something better look for a change.

The first gallery I put up was our trip to Vegas the week before school started.  Look for more soon.

Fun in Branson

I have found the way to shop. Jenna wanted to do some shopping in Branson today. After the first hour she suggested Noah and I go do something fun. It's nice to have a time killing partner.

New logo for your iPhone or iPad

You all know I'm a geek at heart.  I try to live my life as a medical professional but my mind always warps around technology in some capacity.

Well last night I started to wonder how Google makes those pretty little icons pop up when you bookmark one of their pages to your homescreen on the iPhone or iPad.  All other sites make an icon that is a picture of the site you are looking at.

Well an hour of my life, a hefty dose of photoshop, and a sprinkling of code injection gets you...

Now if you bookmark this site, this is the icon that will be saved to your homescreen.  

My apologies to Indiana Jones. Short Stuff was not hurt during the making of this icon.

Why'd we want stairs?

Campbell is about to make me put the lower gate back on the entrance to the stairs. She hasn't succeeded yet but she's starting to try climbing up them.

All set for the tooth fairy

The poor kid's face is still swollen, he couldn't chew dinner, but by golly he is excited for the tooth fairy.

Tooth fairy has another stop tonight

The dentist had to pull the tooth. Noah's mom is pretty upset he'll go the next 2 years or so without a tooth but we're lucky the damage wasn't worse.

Noah was a very brave little boy and didn't cry for any of the shots. A highlight was the dentist telling him to breath the gas because it'll make him silly. Noah took several deep breaths, pumped his fist, and announced 'It's get silly time!!!'

The other front tooth is also a little loose but X-rays showed it should be fine. We'll have to watch it for infection.

He still looks a little silly with his nose and top lip swollen pretty bad. He's excited for the tooth fairy to come tonight.

Headed to the emergency dentist

Noah took a good fall this morning. Not sure what happened but the short version is he knocked a tooth crooked. Pretty sure they're going to have to pull it. I'll update in a bit.

UPDATE-Uploaded a better pic. Sitting here waiting for them to get prepped. He's got a good sense of humor about it after the first hour of crying. I'll upload the video of him explaining what happened when we get home.

"...hurt and injured aren't the same thing..."

Noah's really gotten into baseball since they started playing kickball at school.  When I told him I used to play baseball he asked me to be his "teacher." Never mind it was 101 at 530PM yesterday.  My boy wanted to go play baseball so we did.

We had a lot of fun and he ran the bases like a champ.  He's getting a lot better at hitting the ball each time too.  

The best part was the conversation when we got home.  He scraped his elbow pretty good with a fair amount of blood.  When his Momma say it she asked him what happened.  He bravely replied "I got hurt.  Daddy said hurt and injured aren't the same thing so I had to keep playing baseball." She shot me a look and I found something really interesting on the ceiling to look at.

Here's a video of the young Joe Dimaggio.

Updated videos

I spent some time last night updated the embedded videos.  I noticed at lunch the uploads were finished.  You'll notice the videos all have a picture to click (poster frame) before the videos load.  This will keep the site from taking forever to load since it downloaded the videos everytime you went to the front page.  Just another example of my tireless efforts to make your life better ;)

Young, spry, and kidless

Campbell knocked this photo off the shelf the other day so it's been sitting out all week. I've seen it every day and I marvel at how young and fresh we looked before kids sucked all the life out of us. Just kidding......sort of :)

Where'd this come from 

What a beautiful morning. Temperature is nice and cool-well it's not an inferno. When I saw the cloud cover this morning I offered to move breakfast and the paper to the patio. After we ate we actually got to enjoy the yard and play for a bit before the sun decides to make it unbearable again.

Mobile baby on the loose

Not sure what's worse.  Her into everything or everything going into her mouth.
