Mila's latest Masterpiece...

This is what happens when Manuela talks on the phone for 10 min. We figure she didn't have any paper on hand so she used Ezra's face instead...poor unsuspecting Ezra.

Birthday Boy

On March 20th we quasi-celebrated Ezra's first birthday. Since his birthday fell on Holy Thursday, the actual 'party' will take place sometime after the Triduum. Nevertheless, since he is still rather young, he was allowed to break his bread and water fast and enjoy a birthday cupcake.

PS. Wishing all a wonderful Easter!

Salt, Salt!

Here a few pics of the family during my spring break which we spent wasting away in Margaritaville, aka the Florida keys.

Homoerectus

Here is a short clip capturing Ezra's new found freedom. He is now fully bipedal - preferring the drunkard swagger to all other modes of locomotion. This was shot weeks before his first birthday!

Milestones...

Now that my boy has these two rudimentary life functions mastered, I figure it is time to move on to his next stage in development, namely, refinement in his use of fine motor skills (i.e. command of the 'pincer grip') and metaphysics. He should be nimbly picking up peas and demonstrating the 5 proofs for the existence of God by his first birthday.

Happy Birthday Me!

Celebrated my 32nd year of existence on the 20th of January. It being my birthday and all, the family was forced, via guilt, to participate in my favorite activities. Consequently, we enjoyed a wonderful steak dinner, christened with a nice glass of red wine, followed by an evening of watching football and eating chocolate cake, but not just any Chocolate Cake: what we have here folks, is Inside-Out German Chocolate Cake...so good it makes you sweat.   It's funny how such small things can make a man so happy.

Deus Caritas Est!

Merry Christmas from ours to yours!
