Starting a blog here.... because my life is so interesting. It's snowing here in Helena, MT and I have two sleeping children. We've had a good day despite the self-imposed cooped up nature of the day. I have a hard time motivating to get myself and the kiddos out of the house on a normal day. I also fight a little bit of complacency and negativity about what Helena has to offer if I do leave the house. With the snow falling, gray skies... makes it harder to get excited about what lies out there in the world. We've managed pretty well today. Rosie took a short nap this morning so Clare and I built the tunnel out of her Squash Blocks again. She's a big fan. We get anything that will roll and roll it through the tunnel, including Mimi Care, Jalopy, any ball we can find, caterpiller, etc., etc. Miles will go reluctantly and she loves it. Clare did some pretty amazing and accurate overhand throwing to me today, mostly with the orange ball. She will be a good athlete if she decides to go that route. I think she has great balance and is already throwing and catching balls at just under two years. I like that she likes to kick a soccer ball. I think soccer is a great sport and sad that I didn't have opportunity as a kid to play. Had a great deal of fun as a young adult playing with friends at the Y. What a great game. Another goal sport, like hockey also, that I've come to appreciate in adulthood.
Rosie is digging flashy rattly toys and is smiling a lot. She spits up an amazing amount too but seems to be growing just fine. She's a lot of fun. She's learning how to throw her weight around and get what she needs. Clare can certainly steal the spotlight.
The doggies have been pretty mellow today. They're sleeping too. This is a very peaceful house at the moment. Kinda nice to just take it in... blogging and enjoying a diet Barq's.
Didn't take any pictures today, but the one above is from yesterday I think. Pretty cute one of the girlies and I. I like it when they both sit on my lap. Makes me feel like a dad and that I'm very loved, which I am. Sometimes the hard work portion of fatherhood/family life can blur that perspective a little bit. It's moments like those above that make it worthwhile... two cute little girlies sitting on my lap. I'm sure I feel like a giant to them. I remember that feeling. Pretty crazy that I have kids. Glad for Scotty that he gets to experience fatherhood too and that it came upon us at around the same time, and that our kids are close in age. Cousins are great. Okay, enough ramblage for today. Dave out.
