Beautiful Days with Mama

During the week Mama and me get to hang out and do cool things together. Amori and her Mama come over and sometimes we get to play with all our crazy toys; sometimes we just play Baby Tekken...

...and sometimes we play skill enhancing games, like...

...fishes; other times we play daft games like...
...pop-the-dummy. Thanks Mummy, I'll have that back.

.

The rest of the time we go for big walks... Here we are on an adventure race on the Seawall with Amori and her Mama.

As you can see, Amori was rooting around for some lost "Zeds" in the bottom of her wheels.

.

...Let's not forget all the great hugging sessions back at the ranch.

Life is beautiful.

My First Beer

I was just sitting there in the trendy new Singaporean joint on Robson, near the library, rambling on about politics, philosophy, economics, wave-particle duality theory and stuff over a nice cold beer. Only this wasn't just any beer. This was my very first beer, so I wanted to get the full experience... ...and I realised something quite deep and profound about beer and the whole experience of drinking it... ....smells like Papa.

But remember kids -a word to the wise- don't drink and bounce:

...mmmm beer.... #!$%&* Hic!!

Maaayeah

Been Baby Bean Base Jumping... ...thought I'd liven this place up a bit with a game.

Base Jumping Base jump over 5 rounds to challenge the King.

Home schooling...

2007 has been productive so far. I am working my way through my first books. I mostly just chew the pages for now, but it all counts.

I have also been trying to get to grips with my alphabet abacus....

...and taking riding lessons, although riding a Mango cat bareback is a high risk activity......so I have settled for Cirque du Soleil training in my bouncynator...



Ma says I must get my bouncing skills from Papa... but there's definitely some of Mama in me when I tire myself out.

ZZZzzzzzzzzz...

UK Tour - Part 5 Homeward Bound

After all the excitement of Christmas, we stepped it up and went on partying, harder, faster and stronger. It was great to catch the occasional break from it all. Here is Olive and Tom Jr chilling in Granny G'nT's telly seat:

...Ma and Pa's friends came from all over northern England for a lightning strike session...

...and then that was it. We were back to London on Mama's b'day. I got to meet her aunt and uncle and we -well, strictly speaking they- ate and drank Spanish food and wine. Here I am with Angela, my great aunt.


...then it was New Year's Eve. We had a good get together with friends and Daddy's family; eating too much....

...and some of us drinking too much as well. It came as no surprise that the two messiest revellers were my Dad and my uncle. They started trying to do Russian folk dancing and notwithstanding their obvious lack of talent, didn't have enough control over their limbs even if they had had any talent.
...Tom Jr's Ma promptly took uncle Phil home!!

The next morning we had the epic mission back to a very rainy Vancouver. Papa was very quiet muttering something about honouring his pal Buzzer with "silent reading" all the way home.

Yay Happy New Year!
