Daddy things I need to come back to somewhere down the line:

  • Watch Star Wars, play Super Mario Brothers, and read Calvin and Hobbes with V.
  • Teach her that math, science and technology are womanly endeavors. Show her I Heart Switch.
  • Buy pair of training skis, take her up into the snow and slide around.
  • Crack open my big box of LEGOs and spend an afternoon building space ships and castles.

What’s better than a cute baby? Two cute babies! You saw that coming didn’t you? I’m really tired, just go with it. Pretend it was witty. Laugh. Laugh!

I’m working on a really nerdy post (it’ll have video games, pinball and maybe even computer bits!), but for now here are some pix from V’s weekend.

This is how she rolls

V flashes her colors. Baby’s gotta represent.

It looks like mom beat me to the punch and posted photos I’d taken to Facebook, so since turnaround is fair play I’ve posted photos she’s taken of Veronica here. :-)

The big news of last week is that Veronica is officially walking. She’s still flopping over lots and will drop to all fours when she needs a burst of speed, but she’s spending probably 75% of the time walking now. She easily walks unassisted from one side of our house to another and has gotten good enough with her balance to drag books and toys along too. Huzzah!

Pirate kitty

Persephone’s eye has been bad for a couple years, but this last week it got much worse. After two traumatic days at the vet Persephone is now minus one eye, but plus 10 perkiness. The subsequent dissection showed it was a really nasty eye infection.

The silver lining to the cloud is that she is now officially a “Pirate Kitty” (we’re working on the peg leg and parrot to go with her eye patch). This would explain her feud with our little Veroninja.

Here are a couple quick snapshots of what V’s been up to lately when she’s not practicing her walking. Needless to say, I’m ridiculously proud that she’s figured out how to snap her “Lego” bricks together

(Sorry for the terrible photo quality, these are from the phone camera.)

So we had nine inches of fresh powder on Sunday! This was my first time skiing or boarding in a couple years and I had a blast. The last few days we’ve been getting rain which I’m hoping translates into lots more snow for this weekend. Glad we got gutters on, makes the rain much more bearable. If anyone’s interested in a recommendation, we worked with Brett Jarnes at Rain Master Gutters and have been happy with his workmanship.

It's a donut. With bacon.

One of my coworkers brought this bizarre creation to work today from Voodoo Doughnut in Portland. I opted for the Oreo donut: a moist, rich donut topped with beefy chunks of Oreos drizzled with peanut butter and chocolate.
