Bronson enjoys December

On December 1st mom and Bronson spent most of the day asleep. Bronson had initially woken at 3:45 am, so the rest of the day was spent resting. At 4 pm we woke with a start and realized we'd better seize the day, so we headed out for a walk down South Lake. We ended at CalTech and waited for dad, to walk home with him from his last day of school in 2006. This is a picture of Bronson waiting with me for Matthew. Around 5pm momas with kids all congregate to CalTech to pick up their husbands. The older kids yell "Daaaa- adddddd", and we all say hello to each other. It's pretty great, very community-like. Nothing like that really happened at UVic, that I saw, anyhow. There were very few children on UVic campus, and there are many many at CalTech.

At home we opened Bronson's first gift of 24 in a countdown to Christmas that grandma Diane had left here on her visit. It was an orange block with letters m, n, o and number 5 on it. This is a picture through the middle of the block of Bronson. Poor kid, we're going to assault him with the camera for every gift opening there is!

The family then spent the evening enjoying the awkward humour of the american Office series, season 1. Now there's an incredibly politically incorrect show to be quoting. We made a late evening trip to Target ("Tar-jay") to replenish the 2 important stocks in the house - diapers and wine. Actually, we're having a dinner party next friday and Matthew's in charge of baby and drinks. I'm in charge of food and house. We promptly forgot the box of diapers in the parkade, however the good folks at Target found them, and when we went to plead our case today, gave them to us. It's nice when people cover for your screw ups.
