The Mice Will Play

It has become old hat to have Helena all to myself for several days or more. We always have an absolute blast and it’s always very easy. This past week however, while the “cat” was away for work there were three mice left to play instead of just the usual two. While I am super…

Ice Skating during February Vacation

February vacation was lots of fun. My trick to spend time with Helena is to take her out of the house. Otherwise she disappeared over to the neighbors to “play with the girls”. So when I did get her attention we did fun things like eat ice cream, pizza, mac and cheese (our special recipe), watch movies (theater and home) and some not so fun like go to the dentist.

Frozen – Helena’s First Movie Theater Experience

On Christmas Eve we took Helena to her very first movie at the movie theater to see Disney’s Frozen. Based on her enthusiastic reaction to the movie, the popcorn, and the experience, I think it is safe to say that she will want to go back for many more movies. We even managed to get…

Fantastic Daddy Daughter Day in Long Island

Had an amazing daddy daughter day yesterday on Long Island while Christine went to a baby shower. Started off with a trip to the Long Island Aquarium, which although small, had a sea lion show and a tank where you could touch and feed the sting rays (stingers removed of course). Helena also got to…

6 Years Ago Today

We realized today that 6 years ago today I proposed to Christine at my folks house. We watched the slideshow that I made with pictures that are now over 6 years old. Not sure when we got so old, but I sure wish I looked that young still. My wife of course looks as young…
