May 25th, 2008 - Well i've gone and finally broken my arm and wrist while riding my bike. Not alot of fun really. The accident happened on the 15th and i had surgery on the 23rd. a titanium plate on the collar and a stainless steel plate on the wrist. I wonder what the electrical potential of those two metals are. Perhaps I am now a high priced battery.
Friends and family have been great. Everyone has called and some I still need to call back. The pain is actually more than what I was expecting. Especially after the surgery. The location of the accident was by MS blding 43. I'm going to post some recent photos of this weekend below. Leedam, Keenan and came down to mow our lawn and make me feel better. Saturday was pretty much a right off as Leedam gratefully predicted. I ended up sleeping most of the time and feeling very ill and in pain. Sunday was much better: I even drank some beer.

December 25th, 2007 - So much has happened. Pascal is talking and even learning to swear. Lets just say we have been trying to teach him that we talk about fox's all the time....yeah.
The gang chillin'.
pi trying on dads cool boots... yeah you know the ones.(may 25th, 2008)
Me and my wrist.


April 7th, 2008 - I've just put in a picture of Pascal when he fell out of the van. See below or click link.

March 29th, 2008 - We had Pascal's 3rd birthday. He generally thought it was great and made sure he was able to at least count to three. After 4 he skips to 7. I think it is because 7 and 8 are the last #'s he knows and he figures that he can save some time by not hitting 5 and 6. It seems like that at least. We recently got back from Costa Rica. Which is very beautiful country. We stayed with the Shepherds. They have a welcoming home on the mountains that dive into the Pacific ocean. The town is called Samara. The Cicada's were up and about there so we had bug powered 5 am alarm clocks. Possibly earlier if a motor bike woke up the monkeys. Pascal learned to swim while he was down there ( March 9th ) and Pi took his first real steps (March 18th/19th). We went to Monte Verde which has a view of the Arenal volcano. We took that journey with Drew, Isabelle, Jeremy, Chole and Sophia. The jungle there is terific.
Pascal fell out of the Shuttle van which droped us off from the airport. He looked awfull the next day. Thankfully it didn't affect his good spirits.




  • Pascal with his cowboy hat on. He doesn't wear it much anymore. He is more into funk, jazz, and a little bit of hip hop.
  • Here is a picture of Pascal sneeking outside in the beginning of March. He put on his own rubber boots and played with Kamchatka. Bear in mind it is freazing outside! Kamchatka was happy to have a partner to play with.
  • Pascal is reading auntie Glenda a great story before she goes to bed.
  • Pi has his Yoda suit on. He is small... but he is wise. He seems to like his chair, but these fair feelings are not to last long. Soon we will be wondering what he likes.
  • This is our new bedroom with Pi setup to keep us awake at all moments. When we lived in a 400sqft apartment we never thought we would need more room than this.

    • January 10th, 2007 - Pascal is learning to put on his red boots and Orange warmers.  He is also learning how to fake a cry and say No.   Pascal is a great kid.  He is going to be stuborn like his mother though.
    • Pascal gazing into his 2nd cake. The first year meant nothing and this year he wanted to rejoice for two. He is thinking: either I pee on it or i dive into it after blowing out all the candles. Luckily the latter was chosen... Happy birthday Pascal. We love you.

  • Mt Vernon in April 2007 - And we hunted through the flowers until we found the right ones.
    • Maggie's first visit to our home. She loves her cousins. She is a Jacklin true and through. Pascal actually cried when she left. Asking to be let outside so that he follow across the country side. I told him he would need to start wearing pants and he gave up the mission.

  • May was a month of love.
    • Tatiana has burnt chicken on the BBQ and put out the burnt remains outside for Kamchutka to devour.
