  • Toren helping with laundry

    While he doesn’t really show it that well in this video, Toren’s typical way of “helping” with the laundry is to pull everything off the couch or chair as quickly as possible and throw it on the floor:

  • pushing the trash

    As soon as he learned how to walk, Toren started finding new toys, namely, our trash cans.  We’re not sure why he likes doing this, but he pushes our trash cans all over the place now: Luckily we keep them fairly clean and empty them regularly.  So far we haven’t had any major messes as…

  • back in the childseat

    I snapped this while riding the bike around our neighborhood one day as Toren just looked very cute in his bike helmet:

  • sunscreen hair

    I’ve been too busy the last week to post anything, but I found an hour today to put together a few posts, so I’ll try to catch up with posts everyday this week. Here are some fun photos of Toren’s hair coated with sunscreen after the St. Pete Pride Parade: If he had thicker hair,…

  • Toren’s doppelganger

    Below is a quick video from our Oregon trip. The hotel had mirrors on the closet doors. Toren noticed his doppelganger in the mirror one night and decided to have a go with him:

  • Oregon trip – day 6 – hanging out around the hotel

    The multiple days of hiking took its toll on my rib, reinjuring it and basically putting me out of action. As a result, we spent the last Saturday in Oregon just relaxing around the hotel. Toren’s first introduction to swimming was a few weeks before this at a swimming pool in our friends’ condominium complex.…

  • Oregon trip – day 5 – Mount Pisgah

    I had originally planned to make another trip out to the Willamette National Forest for some more hikes this day, but upon the advice of some of the people at the dinner party, I opted, instead, for a closer hike – Mount Pisgah.  It’s a nearby mountain that offers splendid views of the surrounding area.…

  • Oregon trip – day 4 – Sahalie and Koosah Falls in Willamette National Forest

    One of the other hikes I found online before I came out here was a hike in the Willamette National Forest that is a loop trail for the Sahalie and Koosah Falls.  I found a few other promising hikes for the Willamete National Forest, but time constraints meant I had to pick one that seemed…

  • Oregon trip – day 3 – World Cup and french fries

    After my adventure the day before, I decided to relax this day and recover (I was feeling the previous day’s hike in my legs pretty good). So, Toren and I pretty much just hung out at the hotel. This did give me a chance to watch the Germany/Spain game, which was a major upset for…

  • Oregon trip – day 2 – Heceta Head Lighthouse and Hobbit Beach

    I was super excited to get out and do some hiking, since I don’t get to do much in Tampa and the little hiking I get to do does not include hills – seriously, not even like large piles of dirt.  It must be the fact that I grew up on the side of a…
