Shall we dance

Originally uploaded by schleifnet


Awwwww.

Yup Annabel is now pulling herself to a standing position on everything and is confident enough in her abilities to look at you while standing. Heck she grabs onto the couch, pulls up and turns around while holding on to reach out for you or the cats or a toy or whatever. The house is mostly baby-proofed, but we could do better. Luckily Mandy is way more on the ball than I am and takes care of all the little things (and the big ones too) that make life wonderful.

Side note: tomorrow is our fourth anniversary!!

Mike Is 30

Originally uploaded by schleifnet


So, Sunday was a double whammy. My first father’s day and my 30th birthday. We had a laid back day mostly due to the double blowout on Saturday (barbecue party at the house followed by really really latenight quartering by mike, troy and david). The cake above is pure cookie with customer spinkles for writing. And it’s all gone now (so good, cookies).

Anyway, we had a lot of fun and ended the day seeing my dad for father’s day and getting choclate cake courtesy of my mom. Of course the grand parents loved seeing the baby.

Unfortunately today started with a starting to get sick mama and an almost starting to get sick baby. cross your fingers that I don’t join them by the end of the week.

Check out the flickr feed for more pics as Mandy posts them. Make us a contact to see all the friends and family only ones.

My Tie

My Tie

Originally uploaded by schleifnet


So I had to wear a tie to work Thursday last week and when I got home, of course I wasn’t allowed to remove it. Why? Because Annabel decided to start playing with the silkiness and looking a the blue green print.

Speak of ties, this Sunday is a double tie whammy (or at least is will be in a few years). Not only is it my first father’s day ever (woo-hoo), but I enter my third decade. 30 years is a long time to be around, here’s to a few more.

If the weather allows I’ll be partying it up in the Quarter Saturday night on my last night of my twenties (after barbecuing in the backyard with friends and kids).

Figured you guys might want some more content over here, so here’s a nice leafy texture from the ground in Lafreniere Park (pre-k). I was wondering, how cool would this look blown up and printed on canvas and hung up in the lobby of a huge office building. Like a big strange modern art piece…

Anyway, baby’s good, baby mama’s good, house is ok… talk to ya soon.

Singing and scootching

on the floor - Originally uploaded by schleifnet

Update from a proud daddy and mama: Just wanted all of you to know, Annabel is scootching all over the place. Everyday we giggle as she zip zips around the floor with her inch worm style of almost crawling. Recently, Annabel started singing and playing piano as well…let me explain. She started saying ‘bah bah’ a month ago and then discovered the joy of having her tongue in the air. This led to a tongue out bah or LA and now we enjoy the vocal stylings of the best la-la-er in the world. As to the piano, well Mandy brought out my really old electric keyboard (I think its from junior high, 1992ish) and Annabel has been banging away on the keys ever since. It started as eerie music with a baby on top of the low end of the keys and then migrated to rumbas and more as she found the demo and auto-accompaniment buttons. Can’t wait to see her recording contract in the near future.More to come…

New ways to see what I’m thinking (Twitter and Del.icio.us)

Mike the admin here, just wanted to call you attention to two new things in the sidebar.

Although I don’t like the idea of certain types of social networks (stalking is bad) I have joined twitter, finally. I was sucked in by Twit.tv, Jason Calacanis, Slice of Scifi and PVPonline and just couldn’t hold out any longer.

 I also added a running feed of my del.icio.us bookmarks. I’ve used the site for quite a while to track cool sites and keep tabs on ideas for blog posts for WIN while at flashinsider and bloggingneworleans and i have wanted to add a running tag here for a while, but never got around to it til recently.

 Anyway just wanted to give you a heads up.

Baby’s fine. Wife’s good. Be sure to check flickr often for pics and now movies (add us as a contact to see everything, we like to keep most family photos private).

The hand of a belle we love.

Mandy and I added another to our family back on October 17, 2007. She’s beautiful and perfect (of course). If you’re on Flickr look for me (schleifnet) and make me a contact (if you know me)… If I know you I’ll make you a friend so you can see the pics… If you aren’t on Flickr, use the contact form to the right to email me to ask for a link to the private gallery (I can give them out to anyone, its just easier if you’re a flickr friend than not)…
