So the big news of the week is that V is eating solid food! And by solid what we really mean is milk with a tiny bit of oat cereal mixed in. I’ll try to post some video of the big adventure soonish.
Sorry for the downtime the last couple of days. The server hosting our blogs ran out of disk space and I had to restore everything from backups. Unfortunately, I lost the last week’s worth of comments during the restore (long story). But we’re back up–now with the latest and greatest version of Xubuntu.
I still need to repost the Jumperoo video and V eating her toes. I’ve got another video of V at the park with Ava that I’ll try to post at Vimeo this weekend when my quota resets.
Trying out the updated Wordpress iPhone app from Matt and Chelsey’s backyard. Their garden is particularly amazing this summer.

Veronica went on her first (carefully supervised) shoulder rides this last week. Not pictured: her first ride on my shoulders. And the complete drenching in baby spit-up I got when she exploded directly onto my head. And Heather just standing there laughing for like five minutes instead of helping me get cleaned up.
Veronica’s big trip to the Portland Zoo with her cousins. Click here to view in HD (720p) presented in HD at BlipTV.
I’ll re-upload this to Vimeo in a week or two at higher quality.
I’ll try and get the iPhone optimized version uploaded shortly.
The setup: eating gelato at the Patisserie with Ceri (who’s visiting from the northern-midwest). Matt and Chelsey arrive. Ceri recognizes someone at another table, turns out it’s someone she knew from her time in Italy several years back. On further discussion, it turns out Ceri’s friend happens to be Matt and Chelsey’s neighbor.
The odds of this event happening were about 1 in 30,000,000.
Nephews Skating from swinte on Vimeo.
Behold the re-edited skating video. It’s shorter, edits are tighter, and is now presented in HD for your viewing pleasure (720p). Next on my editing list: our trip to the Portland Zoo.
Ingredients
- 1x bun
- 1x Big Frank (grilled)
- Walla Walla sweet onion (sliced and grilled)
- Chili
- Vegeburger
- Tillamook cheddar cheese
- More Walla Walla sweet onion (diced and raw)
- Bubbie’s sauerkraut (the good stuff: no vinegar, sugar or preservatives)
… a Square-Enix that is! Here’s what I’ve been playing most recently:
- Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (DS)
- The World Ends With You (DS)
- Final Fantasy IV (DS)
- Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (DS)
- Valkyrie Profile (DS)
Basically, my DS hasn’t had a non-Squeenix game in it for basically two years now. Just thinking about The World Ends With You makes me itch to play it (or a hypothetical sequel).
