A Day Out At The Bass Pro Shop

What a better place for grandparents to take a little hippie than to the Bass Pro Shop! Ezra’s Saba and Savta took him for the better part of the day, which included a trip to the north part of Denver and the hunting, fishing, camping and boating superstore. In reality, the place apparently has a lot of fun things to do including playing with R/C trucks, watching model trains, playing with slot cars, sitting on ATVs, enjoying getting outfitted for a backpacking trip, discovering what a fish-finder is and finding child size camping chairs. The best part? The nap that comes afterwards.

Did You Know?

These are absolutely fascinating and have raised all sorts of questions discussions as new parents. Watching this stuff makes me excited, scared and intrigued by what the future holds for Ezra….and makes me ask “what can we do to get him ready for it all?” I can tell you for certain, that I am looking forward to the communication technology that will make our nursing home life better.

A Dinner Date

A few nights back we all headed over to our friend’s house to visit Kendra, Mark, and Sydney. The kids had a great time (do did the parents) and they even found the energy to share a story together. PS – there is also a video of them running around the island in the kitchen; you just have to be a friend of ours on Facebook to see it (go to our profile and look for the video that Mark posted).

Interesting Shots

I have the luck of being at work over this weekend and during this latest snow storm (they are saying 10-12 inches by Sunday’s end). One of the guys that I work with asked about capturing the snowfall in the flag lights with a photograph. Having no idea how to do this, a few quick attempts were made with surprisingly interesting results and I quite like them….

New Page Added

We just added a new page to our Blog (you can find it just above the header image). It explains itself fairly well, so we won’t waist your time here….just go take a look. It’s called ‘Lessons Learned’

17 Months!

Sorry for the delay in this posting….it’s been a crazy busy week (perhaps we can talk about that soon) and between the stuff that needed to happen, work, and camera assignments (it’s need to be taking photos in two different places at the same time) we just haven’t been able to get this up sooner. Anyway: enjoy.

ROAR!

We had the opportunity to borrow a home-made costume from some good friends, and it just happens that it allowed Ezra to dress up as one of is favorite animals – a lion. Full disclosure: the first time that he put on the costume he didn’t like it. It was hard to see his hands, it was a lot bulkier than his clothes, it was a little warm, and it had a tail that kept getting caught on things. But the longer that he was in it, he either started to like it or just got used to it. Either way, we all had a good time walking to our neighbors in the building and eating some candy (well, Ahna and I did. Ezra just enjoyed putting the candy in his pumpkin).
