  • Another reason to like Florida

    I walked out of my building yesterday on my way to my car to go home and saw this: I walk past this almost everyday, but rarely notice it.  The sun setting on Plant Hall struck me as very beautiful.  Oh, and it was 85 degrees yesterday.  Sucks to be me, right?!?   😉

  • Toren at the zoo with the manatees

    Toren and I spent a few hours at the zoo in late October and I shot some video clips. Here are two of him in front of the manatee tank:

  • Toren eating an apple

    One of things Toren picked up at daycare is “how to eat an apple.” If you say “apple” around him, he’ll put both hands up to his mouth and start gobbling at an apple. Unless, of course, you give him an actual apple, then he does this:

  • Toren falling down

  • blinking to smile

    I told Toren to smile for these photos.  What did I get?

  • neighborhood activity

    Our neighborhood has seen a little activity of late.  Unfortunately, the father of one of our good friends/neighbors, Mike Leon, passed away last week.  Mike had lived with them for most of the past year and a half or so, so we knew him.  It was sudden, even though Mike was 85.  We attended the…

  • Toren update

    While I’ve been posting pictures and videos, I haven’t actually written much about what Toren has been doing lately.  Language-wise, he knows a few words that he repeats regularly – “dada,” “mama,” “bye,” “ball,” etc.  He also occasionally says words but rarely when we ask him too.  Tonight he said “parrot” after I told him…
