Dutch Wonderland

Frank — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 01:45:47 +0000

We had a great time in Lancaster, PA, last weekend, even though the weather was not so great. We went on lots of rides and saw the most amazing model train display ever at the Choo Choo Barn.

Here’s a few videos of rides at Dutch Wonderland.

Nico and Brady Scream-fest

Frank — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 12:42:42 +0000

When Nico and Brady were visiting Grandma and Grandpa in August, they were very excited to be together!

Nico’s Words

Frank — Fri, 20 May 2011 03:21:17 +0000

Nico has a lot to say these days. He agreed to sit for a one-on-one exclusive interview with Mommy to share his knowledge with the world.

He Can Walk the Walk

Captured on “film” for the first time! Don’t be distracted by Daddy’s crazy-baby-voice, or by the unflattering stripes on baby’s pjs.

Screeching Match

Frank — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:03:32 +0000

A while ago, Nico discovered his voice and started piercing our eardrums on a regular basis. Frank had a theory that if he encouraged the squealing at sanctioned times, we would have fewer embarrassing moments when Nico screamed out in the middle of a silent crowd (like at a museum or in a restaurant). It actually seems to have worked! If we scream, he immediately screams back and we can still go back and forth several times. But he doesn’t make too much spontaneous ear-piercing noise any more.

This video shows Nico and Frank toward the end of a very long screeching match. You’ll notice Frank’s clenched hands — he learned this from Nico, not the other way around. Nico’s noises seem to come from way down deep within and he has to squeeze his hands and tense his muscles to let them out with their full force. Enjoy!

Are We Bad Parents?

Just a quick and dirty video posting from our dinner at a local Vietamese restaurant last night. It was taken on my phone, so the quality is not so great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY7UlGkq7yg

Nico loves to read

Frank — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 11:52:21 +0000

I posted a while ago about Nico pulling books off the shelf one at a time for us to read to him. The kid loves to read! This video is obnoxiously long (5 minutes!) but it shows Nico doing his latest tricks. He turns the pages while Frank reads him a book, chooses another book, crawls a tiny bit, stands up a tiny bit, and then **SPOILER ALERT** chooses another book. (Sorry to give away the ending…) This is one of my favorite videos. I’m hoping we can find one that I took of Nico and me during the daytime where you can see his face while I read to him. He smiles and squeals while he looks at the book and it’s fun to watch his face as he “reads” it. But I haven’t found that one for Frank to upload yet…

Snow, snow, and more snow

Frank — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:33:25 +0000

My dad shoveled us out of about 2 feet of snow over the weekend. Then he and my mom took off for FL and left us here to fend for ourselves in this round of snow. We got a bunch more snow today. It’s hard to tell how much actually fell from the sky because it was blowing so much. But my dad asked for a video showing the situation so this afternoon I took a short one. You can’t see the snow falling or blowing, but I guess you don’t really need to in order to get the idea…basically there’s a lot of snow and we expect it to stick around for a long time because it’s pretty deep.
