Snow 2010

We had another snowfall last night and today. We tried, somewhat successfully, to sled. Making snowballs didn't work as well - the snow was too dry. Some pics will be forthcoming.

Dusting off the cobwebs!

 After yet another long hiatus, we've got some new photos and videos to share.

First, Zeki got an Eid gift from an unknown benefactor (really, who gave him this awesome scooter? It wasn't marked.)

About a month or so ago - time really does fly when you're a parent - Zeki and his friend Geffen went to the NC Museum of Life and Science and spent some quality time playing together.



We have a trip to Hawaii left to chronicle and now that I've gotten the blog software upgraded and working well, I think we'll be using the site again.

Feliz Cumpleaños Zeki!

eat your heart out Martha Stewart

 

Zeki turns 2! Zeki toasted his 2nd birthday with bug cupcakes, milk, and friends from Solecitos. I think the bug cupcakes came out pretty cute. Hopefully that will make up for the fact that the birthday hat I made him looks like a dunce cap.

Certainly no dunce here!

We celebrated a second time on his actual birthday with both sets of grandparents, Aunt Sherene and cousins Minna and Mahmoud.  I think Zeki now gets that birthday = a day when your parents let you get juiced up on sugar and then everyone showers you with attention and more toys than any small toddler should have. He has been asking for "birthday" every day since...

 

It was also Sammy's 33rd birthday and my dad's 69th birthday.


3 generations of birthdays

Add finally moving to our new house and Sammy starting his new job to the list of accomplishments this month and you can count me as DONE.

Does it make me a bad dad?

Given how much time I spend on the internet, you'd think that be more diligent updating my son's blog. But no. But now that I'm here, how's about a link to some pics some of you have already seen?



Snow Day!

Site updates

We've been gone way too long and in the time since our last post, Dreamhost - the server that houses this site - has decided to break things and see if I noticed. I didn't and I'm still not sure what happened. Our old gallery is broken beyond repair, which is fine by me because it drove me crazy, and the photos have been moved to SmugMug. They're a bit of a mess because I was uploading them at 2 in the morning but they're there.

I've also updated the site's software to Wordpress 2.6.5 but that's inside baseball. I know the photos in the right sidebar are broken but I'm working on it. If you notice anything else broken, please let me know.

For now, just enjoy a new video:
