Getting Ready for the Rock Show

Dek is working on some of his drum fundamentals with me. I started gearing up for the final Crash Take Off shows (decided not to drum past 8 months this time...). Here he is helping with some rolls. Don't forget the hearing protection! I always worry since we expose Dek to so much loud noise - he's gotten used to wearing his earphones.

Oh, I found more snow photos...

Its been a really snowy winter. Though we haven't ventured out beyond our backyard much (I know Dek would love sledding but being preggo, I've limited my physical/contact type activities). We've had good times making snowmen, snow castles, angels and more of the such.

"Work" Clothes

Before Elliot's party, Derek insisted on wearing his new "work clothes" - i.e. the suit we bought for Easter and a wedding this summer to the party. Here he is all dressed up with cousins Elliot and Phillip.

Cousin Elliot's Bday

Elliot turned 4 and Derek was there to witness all the cake and joy. He often likes to recount how old each person is,
"I'm three"
"Elliot is four"
"Who is one? Oh Mai-Ly is one."
"Who is one?"

Until recently we didn't know anyone close to Dek who was 5, so it was a challenge when we got to that question. WHY ISN'T ANYONE 5...
 

Mustache Boys

Dek and Cousin Elliot try on some mustaches to match Ong (Grandpa). These little guys really love being silly together. More to come from Elliot's 4th Birthday Bash...

More Snow!

I can't even keep track of all the snow we've been having (just another storm this past Monday). So here is Dek in his winter boots and one of the many storms of 2013-2014 winter.

Snow Digging

Its been a very snowy winter. Here is one of our earlier snows where we got outside to the Dek to build a snowboy (given his size, didn't seem that he was a full grown snowman). We improvised with some cranberries ad we didn't have any coal or a carrot for a nose.  Dek has taken a keen interest in some winter past times such as sledding and skating, though its mostly just him slipping around outside in his snowboots.
