Happy Halloween from the bridge of the Enterprise!

Daniel doesn’t look thrilled to be wearing a red shirt… 2 and a half years old and I think he knows what that means already. I tried to tell him that Scotty wore a red shirt, but he wasn’t listening.

When we first put on the uniforms, Christopher tapped his emblem and started going “beep beep!” I tried to explain that was TNG and he was in TOS uniforms, but I don’t think he got it. I was impressed he knew enough Trek to tap the emblem in the first place.

Playing with a robot

There are lot of videos in the pipeline. This is a fun one – the second night we were playing with a programmable robot. Once they weren’t afraid of it anymore, they loved to dance with him.

We spent a long weekend on Long Beach Island, NJ this past weekend.

In this photo, Christopher and Daniel are digging a hole, with my mom acting as construction supervisor.

Not shown is Anthony, dipping his toes in the water with mommy and pap-pap. Nana was taking some photos too, and if I can get my hands on those, I’ll post them.

I just realized while posting that last entry, I had never put up a link to the professional photos I mentioned a while back. Here ya go:

Apple Store Opening

David Bock — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:28:00 -0400

We took the kids to the grand opening of the new Apple Store in Reston, VA today, fully indoctrinating them into the Apple cult. It was quite an adventure – standing in line for almost an hour with 500+ other people waiting for the store to open so we could get the coveted ‘free t-shirt’.

We had the kids dressed in their “I void warrantees” t-shirts, while Lorna and I also wore geek-appropriate shirts. There were plenty of photos taken… some by the Apple employees themselves… I’m watching Flickr to see if any get posted.

One of the fun things about being a parent of multiples is the instant kinship you find with other multiple parents. Walking back to our car, we met a mother of 1 year old twins who had all kinds of questions for us about sleep habits, eating, etc. It reminded me of the time we met a mother of triplets a year older than ours at a big-box store… We had a ton of questions for her too.

One note of system maintenance – the website might be down for a few hours this next week as I shuffle some technical resources around. I’m reorganizing and have a plan to make this blog a little better.

Professional Photos

Lorna and Grammie went to a local studio to have some photos taken. A whole bunch of the photos had that white empty studio look like the Mac commercials, so I couldn’t resist.

Daniel is a linux user, so he doesn’t appear in the pic.

Daniel Update

Daniel came home from the hospital last Saturday, after spending almost a week there. His breathing problems turned into a bacterial pneumonia, and they had him there for a few days of antibiotics and checking his breathing at night.

The last few days in the hospital were like a vacation for him… He was away from his brothers, with a huge playroom and fun toys, and most importantly he had his mother all to himself. I have some video I’ll post as soon as I edit it down that shows his progress through the week.

He’s doing fine now – you’d never even know he was sick.
