Whiles (n): A indeterminate period of time greater than seconds or minutes, but not infinite because they can be combined. Usage: “Avery, it’s time to pick up these toys and get ready to go.” “No, we can just play with these toys for a couple more whiles.”
Yesterday, around 5:30 Avery was playing. I was sitting on the couch watching her. We’d been talking about this and that, but it had been quiet for a couple minutes. Then this: Avery: “Dad?” Me: “Yeah.” Avery: “I’m good with whatever I do.” Me: “I’m not sure I know what you mean.” Avery: “I mean, […]
Well, we’re two weeks into 2013 and I still haven’t posted photos from Christmas yet. Bad Dad…but better late than ever. Christmas was very exciting this year. Avery loved all the decorations and Mom made an awesome advent calendar so we could have a treat for dessert every night. By the time the big day […]
Avery was kind enough to sit still for a few minutes (literally) this evening while modeling her Christmas dress so I could take some photos for our holiday card. Which photo did we pick? I’m not saying… but keep an eye on your mailbox.
You might’ve guessed it – but Christmas is a big deal around our house this year. In 2010, Avery was only a month old at Christmas, so she didn’t really get the whole concept. Last year, we were in the process of moving, so we didn’t put up decorations or a tree. So, this year […]
I have a roll of 9′ x 36′ white paper that I use for photo projects, so I thought it might be fun if we got some art supplies and covered the living room with paper to see what Avery would do. With Mom’s help, we set everything up yesterday and made a time lapse […]
We still can’t believe it, but our little girl turned two last Wednesday. On her birthday, Sara brought her a bunch of gifts and they had birthday cupcakes for breakfast. Wednesday night, Avery opened some gifts from Mom and I. Then on Saturday, we opened gifts that arrived in the mail from Avery’s friends and […]
Well, here Avery is in all her trick-or-treating glory. Avery’s nanny had the day off, so Avery spent the Halloween day at daycare in Berkeley. We were a little worried that Avery’s Dora the Explorer costume wouldn’t last all day and all night, so we got her a ladybug costume to wear during the day […]
We’re all about pumpkins lately, so we took a trip down to the pumpkin patch and fall carnival at Harding Elementary in El Cerrito yesterday. The weather was perfect, the pumpkins plentiful and everyone had a nice day out.
Nearly a year to the day that Avery visited Massachusetts for the first time, we were back on an eastbound plane for another week of fun with the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We spent three days in Leominster staying at Nana and Papa’s house and meeting Avery’s new cousin Flynn for the first time. […]
