Time flies...






We here at the Meloche Surf Shack celebrated a milestone on Thursday. Our lil'nipper, believe it or not, celebrated her 2nd birthday. We spent the day eagerly awaiting the consumption of the carrot cake (with cream cheese icing) that Manuela made. Whereafter Mila tore into her gifts with super skill and swiftness like a hyena tearing into the flesh of a dead wildebeest. The similitude was truly frightening.

The next day the festivities continued as we spent the day at the local zoo. As the attached photos illustrate, every one had a blast.

the going ons





For those of you who eagerly await my post (unlikely, but such a thought is good for my ego), my apologies for the rather lengthy delay. Work and family obligations have kept me busy over the summer break. Things here are laudable. Manuela has adjusted all the appropriate knobs and lubricated the necessary sprockets and consequently, she has the domestic engine firing on all cylinders. It is a thing of beauty to behold.

Mila, as a result of her increased ability to communicate and our increased disciplinary tactics, has relented in her wave of parental revolt. She is, thanks be to God, once again a joy to be a round. One of her favorite, and more amusing past times, is her "singing" - which is more akin to high pitched squealing repeated over and over again, which, nevertheless, is so delightful to her ears that it subsequently causes her to break out in "dance" - which is a frantic circular trot, inevitably resulting in a dizzied collapse.

There is only one way to describe Ezra...paridisiac. He has begun to flip and flop around like a fish out of water and I am sure it will not be long until he is up on his hands and knees. After that it is just a few short months until he is cracking skulls on the football pitch.

As for me, I am eager to begin classes next week. cheerio.

Picture perfect






My sister in-law (Zia Loradona), along with her boyfriend (Mr. Jones), recently visited our humble abode and have since forwarded some pics which I have deemed most-post worthy. Enjoy.

Evil Keneval









Came home from work and Manuela drew my attention to the walnut sized goosebumb on Mila's skull. Not at all surprised. Mila, of late, has discovered the joy and exhilaration of gravity. She gets quite the kick from climbing up on various objects, counting to three and flinging her little body from it's height. To Mila's surprise, unlike cats, children do not have the ability to right them selves in mid-air.


Ezra is doing great. Still the perfect baby and could spend hours watching him squirm and kick about.


Here a few more pics of the family.


Cheerio from the heat of SWF - thank God for A/C!
