This is why we are taking swimming lessons!

Boo-boo Band-aid

Gavin's first band-aid for a boo-boo other than a shot.  He tripped and scrapped his knee at the pool on Tuesday.  Then on Wednesday he fell and got a rug burn in the exact same place.  The rug burn was a little oozie, so I pulled out his Veggie Tales band-aids.

Our Home Theatre

It's done. Finally. Our home theatre is 100% installed and functional. The whole idea of building a home theatre started about two years ago. My wife and I are very much into music, movies, and TV and for nearly two years we have toyed with the idea of completely reinventing our living room experience. Until last week that experience included a 27" analog TV, DVD player, VCR, and two gaming systems (Wii and PlayStation 2). Today, the experience includes a complete lineup of high-definition video, high-fidelity audio, and a seamless integration of nearly everything digital in our lives. For the full story of how we created our home theatre - including pictures and the equipment we used - read on.

What a Trooper

It's the middle of our family trip to Puerto Morelos, Mexico and Gavin continues to amaze me.  He was absolutely wonderful on the plane and everyone enjoyed his t-shirt touting "Congratulations!  You get to sit near me".  He has been such a trooper!  It doesn't matter if his naps are out of whack or lunch is an hour late.  In fact, he is wearing us out when we try to wear him out!  More stories, pics and videos to come later.

Today's Mission: A Haircut

Gavin needed a haircut badly.  In fact, he always seems in need of one.  I didn't feel like driving to the kid's salon place in Franklin and paying $17 again, so this time we went to the neighborhood barber shop.  They did a great job, and now Gavin knows all about lolli-pops.  The unwrapped lolli-pop was in his chubby little hand before I could object.  By the end of the haircut, Gavin was a sticky and hairy mess, but he was happy.  He screamed during his last haircut, so we may try this lolli-pop trick again.

A New Playhouse?

Gavin's new place to get into... Macy's cage!  Even when she is in there.

Cancun - Part 1

Here's some pics of our trip to Cancun back in November. Aaron and I enjoyed some "us" time while Gavin stayed with the grandparents.

We have another trip to Cancun planned for March, but this time with Gavin and Aaron's family. The thought of taking Gavin on a week-long trip to another country is overwhelming. Things already on the list to take: carseat, stroller, a week of diapers, and enough toys to keep him entertained. Other things to consider: does his summer clothes still fit? and where can I get swim diapers in February?
