We have been looking at bikes for the kids for awhile. Robert needed a 14" bike - an impossible size to find outside of Toys R Us. Seriously, we've been looking for I think over a year - well before Mikaela could even figure out how to pedal a tricycle!

I was just looking at the "share privileges" for the Sears photo sessions we've done of the kids in the past. They were FILLED with all sorts of weird, made-up names.

I'm so 2 I dress me funny...

I don't want to post actual wedding pictures until the Steeles have a chance to get back and share whatever they want to share. But here are 4 favorites from the trip that are non-wedding. There will be *many* more to come.

Background: I check on the kids before I got to bed each night... usually changing M's diaper at that time (she's a peeing machine at night). I just got back from checking on them (stop worrying - I'm not normally up this late... just when I'm working so that I don't have to work as much while they're awake). When I went into her room, we were out of diapers. So I left her door open a crack, went out to the garage and came back. But I forgot that her door doesn't stay closed unless it's latched - so it was wide open and the hall light was shining in her room. She was starting to wake up and was saying something I didn't understand.

So, I uploaded a video to YouTube...

Yesterday was Mikaela's birthday. We filmed her opening gifts. Then, we filmed her opening her cards. The gift video was about 17 minutes long. The card video was about 6 and 3/4 minutes. So, I've included the card video below.

Be warned that if you have a slow connection or limited bandwidth (for instance, at work), that the "attached" video is a large file (18 MB), so click through at your own discretion.

Since Zy now has a name, note the new URL of her site: mikaela.famwagner.com. The old URL (zy.famwagner.com) will still work for now as it will forward you to the new one, but I will be deleting the old URL from the internet in a few weeks does not work. SO MAKE NOTE OF THE NEW URL.

November 15, 2006: Happy Birthday! (click for some photos).

I don't know. I really don't have much to say.

If you really want to know what's going on, Genevieve's side has all the weekly updates. That's been pretty accurate from my observations.

It really has been a calm pregnancy. Sure, there are some times when the hormones really kick in and make being in the same room as her difficult. Still, this one's been pretty calm and timid...and, we're old-hat at this now, too .
