father's day at multnomah falls

went to multnomah falls for a father's day trip. me and the two. it was fun. smokey the bear was there and stella made a craft. Walter had a kiniption when the train went over the bridge we were under. he was very excited and oddly, like most boys is deep into trains and especially cars.

stinky little brother

sometimes its hard having a little brother
like when you are in your room playing
with your poneys and bears and have everythings setup
and the door is even closed.
and he comes in
and wreck wreck wrecks everything!

adventure walk notes

took an adventure walk in the rain yesterday to mt tabor. stella told me what to write in our adventure log.

big puddle and white gate
a little puddle stream
dark black rock
train horns
big tree
fat pine cone
narnia lamppost with slugs
a bird eating those slugs
A robin in our path
"excuse me mr robin"
hey, that robin obeyed my words
walter picks a green leaf
walter points to a big tree
fog up ahead
walter finds a pinecone
stella hears a bird
walter dances in a puddle for a long time
a robin on top of the jail house
puppy dog poo bag dispenser with phone #

Papi, there isn't supposed to be any cheese in macaroni and cheese

Children of the Brand -- In These Times

Children of the Brand -- In These Times: "Brands�in their artful presence as icons, images and styles�seek to accomplish the somewhat contradictory task of allowing people to forge personal identities out of mass-produced, mass-distributed, readily available goods and images. "

cracker culture

Today's entry is concerning the angst of digging through a pile of clean laundry that has been sitting on the couch for a week because the bathroom is in pieces and the drawers of the old vanity are occupying the staging area for folded laundry.

PS

Stella has counted her toes and determined that she has 9. She did not lose one. "Papa, I DID NOT LOSE ONE, MY TOES ARE TIGHTLY ATTACHED"

a new color

Houranish!


These are all the short videos I caputre with my little camera. I paid many hundreds of dollars for a nice sony handcam with the digital micro cassestes. but i find that the quality of the photo cam's movies is just as good. plus its small.


one of our best lunches yet. sitting at the bar in the upscale food court at the public market. Stella had grilled cheese and fries, rhonda had a greek platter with an interesting mousaka and I had a lovely bluecheese and bacon hamburger. the only thing lacking on it was the bun. the kids where superlative. now that walter is older, our adventures are becoming more and more fullfilling.  Posted by Picasa

Partrin and her new wedding finnery. She has been telling everyone about her three bad dreams lately. very bad dreams about abandomnent and scary monsters. dealing with those are a trick. you don't want to pay them too much heed or they begin to think that there may indeed be something to be scared of, but you don't want to ignore them and teach the kid that what they are scared of doesn't matter.  Posted by Picasa


An original magna doodle by stella. it is a butterfly artist admiring his painting of butterflys. that thing coming out of his head, is his paintbrush whicih is resting on behind his ear.  Posted by Picasa

an email i got at work today

Walter had a totally disgusting black liquid pint of poop today. I will
need your help cleaning the carpet where it came out of his pants. He is
sleeping now but didn't eat or drink anything for breakfast. Poor guy.
When he wakes up I will try to feed him again and push liquids.
