Happy Birthday, Graham!

We lit the tiniest bonfire on Earth for Walpurgisnacht… and Graham’s first birthday. Video will be posted in about 7.5 hours when our stupid, stupid DSL connection finishes the upload. One pixel at a time, man.

Breakfast with Santa

BeauHoward — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:20:23 +0000

Sunday morning, Robert, Rhonda and Cameron McIntosh took us and the boys for breakfast with Santa at the Buckhead Diner. It’s always such a great morning, with the Diner blowing fake snow in the parking lot, and Santa arriving by firetruck. Fletch got a lesson on how to operate the ladder on the ladder truck from a member of the AFD, and a good time was had by all! We also included some pics of the boys in their Christmas PJs, just for fun.

Happy Halloween!

Spencer & Ellen vs. Tropical Storm Lee

BeauHoward — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:46:29 +0000

Brad flew in Friday morning and spent the night with us in Atlanta before we all loaded up in a rented mini van and drove down to Apalachicola, Florida, to see Spencer Wiberley and Ellen Epperson get married. We were supposed to be deterred by Tropical Storm Lee, but, in reality, the storm cooperated. Spencer and Ellen had to scramble and make all kinds of last-minute adjustments to their planned outdoor reception (and they did a good job), but it only really rained during the wedding and reception. We had lots of good beach and swimming pool time, and I’m proud to report that Fletcher is now able to dog paddle himself around the pool while wearing a lifejacket. This is a pretty big step forward for him, who has traditionally been cautious to the point of panic around the water. Now he wants to do it himself, which is fine by me. He’s still freaked out by the surf, but sandcastles and seashells are right up his alley. It was awesome to have Brad around, and I’m not sure the trip would have been possible without him. Also, once Fletch got over being intimidated by his height, he took to Brad quite well. To sum up, for a short weekend that required 16 hours in the car and a trip to the beach during a tropical storm, everything went pretty darn well.

At the Zoo

Sunday morning was a bit rainy, so we naturally decided to set out on foot for the zoo. It was a good call, as the crowd was virtually nonexistent, and it was a cool morning. The highlight of the trip was getting to see the elephant (named Kelly) doing her tricks. Fletch also enjoyed a couple turns on the carousel. Graham slept the whole time, which is his MO.

Fletcher and I hit up the comic book shop today, and I thought this picture was pretty awesome.
