Daily CJ

Christopher believes that if he closes his eyes, he is hiding from us!

Daily CJ

Here is your daily smile for today. He was getting clean for school.

Beautiful day

It was gorgeous outside today! After playing this morning with Maddie at the park, we spent much of the afternoon running around the backyard. Here are some more pics of our little active boy...

Oh, and Christopher called Grandma Jan today to wish her a happy birthday. Chris was so inspired that he also sang happy birthday in the backyard to her and baked her a "rock cake" in the big rocks outside. Here he is making sure the cake is well done!

Kodak Gallery

For those who didn't get the email, here is the link to the gallery of our pics from San Diego...

San Diego

"Purple plane! Purple plane!" If I had a dime for every time Christopher said "purple plane," we would be rich! We spent the past week in sunny... I mean cloudy/foggy/misty San Diego (wait, didn't we choose the American city that is always 75 degrees and sunny to get some, well, sun?). Despite the weather, the Kansas Wogloms had a nice time in San Diego. The sun made an appearance while we were at the world famous San Diego Zoo so that was very pleasant. Christopher loved all the animals he got to see and especially loved the pandas (probably because a lady at that exhibit gave him a panda stamp!) and the elephants. He also enjoyed turning the handle on the machine that makes the souvenir pennies! Here we are "hiding from Dada" while sitting on a statue of a lion...

We stayed at a hotel that was right on Mission Bay and when you walked out the door, the sand was literally 6 feet away. Nothing like having a giant sandbox at your doorstep, especially when you are a 2 year-old boy with a shovel and pail! Even though he didn't get to go in the water, Chris enjoyed his sand time and proceeded to get sand in his eyes, ears, diaper, socks, mouth (molars!) and beyond.

While we were in town, we also visited the San Diego Model Railroad Museum which had fantastic set-ups including a Halloween rail yard in the dark with lots of flashing lights and gates. It was very impressive. We ate some good food while we were there (see my other blog) and Mommy got to surf in La Jolla! That was awesome and even more awesome was when Chris got to see me catch a couple waves. After that he kept saying, "Mommy surfs! Mommy go surf!" And every time he saw water (even the wave-less bay water) he would say, "Mommy go surf in that water." Love it! While we were on our trip, Chris had some stomach issues (I'll leave it at that) and as a result, Mommy and Daddy now know that children's television programming starts at 5AM Pacific Time. Yay PBS! I am currently making a kodak gallery of our pictures and will hopefully post the link to it when it is ready.

Waiting for Kasey

Here are Daddy and Chris hiding under the blanket in the living room. CJ is forever waiting for his Kasey to come find him...

Flexing

Christopher is seen here telling us how cucumbers make him very strong. He likes to flex (just like Daddy) to show us his muscles, although this is not his best work. Enjoy!
