Long lost in a pile of junk paper of bank statements, 4th grade homework, unpaid bills, etc. I just found this classic hand written note.
When J wakes up
- Change diaper
- feed the boy: 4 spoons (spoon is inside the tin) of “Kasha” and add milk (2%, warm).
- can give him some banana (if still hungry)
- Play time
- then around 2h later can give a litte snack (cheese or bread) a little drink (juice is on the tbl) * mix water 3 * 3oz.
- should sleep now.
I’ll be on the phone or online
Kiss
Hope be back for lunch.
So after the shock of waking up in the deep end of the pool I got to, following the list to the letter. Things were going well for the first few points and I was thinking that I’m a super dad until the food wasn’t enough and the begging started. So i simply repeated the steps so far that had worked well pouring more food, juice, food and milk into the kid. Problem solved for another 30mins or so until it was poo time. Hey, that wasn’t even on the list! Negotiated the situation well enough though and with just one more oz of milk he was back to sleep.
Dream kid so far!
During an enjoyable evening meal at the Barcelo River Maya Resort just south of Cancun James started a debate with Richard. At first it seemed like a general conversation but actually (after checking Wikipedia) it seems that they actually followed general debating rules pretty well. OK so James did all the talking and acting and Richard just sat there but all the motions were correct and fully in character.
The first affirmative constructive…
The first negative constructive…

While Richard and I were at the Monster Jam this afternoon Tatiana was busy training James. By the time we got home he was already walking around with semi-confidence. The icing on the cake was the little dance at the end!
It’s been a while since I posted but nothing really jumped out until now. Elena’s mum finally got her US visa last week so we went for a drive up to Texas for some shopping. On the way we stopped for a few photos with one of the daily stunning texas sunsets.
Of course I couldn’t resist putting the first one up on facebook and it got some classic comments. . .

Peter Speight The Parkes and Garden guy (complete with gun, hand cuffs, lights on his truck) stopped to assist which was great. Elena’s Mum was trying to speak English to him and he was trying to speak Spanish to her while I was busy with Elena.

Just put him up on the table for a minute for a photo op and strait away found something interesting.
Here are some more photos from the day around the house.
Just getting ready for our tour of the NASA
OK, everyone ready for the xmas photo?
Ahh um, there is a kid missing!
Still Richard is busy posing for the photo and didn’t notice! 
Ok, so it sounds pretty easy. Just go to your nearest pharmacy, take a face front and eyes open picture against a white background and resize them for the passport. I think we went wrong with timing the photo shoot during is morning nap time!
Here are a few photos taken from my camera after the girl couldn’t take enough photos fast enough on the pharmacy’s point and shoot. I put the camera on sports and took around 70 photos to get this selection.
Since I have a week of school and need to practice writing I decided to write a little message to my brother today. Here it is. . .
Lawrence wanted to us to name him Novomatic for free pampers for a year but we passed up the offer when he wouldn’t add 100grand to it. So without another major gaming company coming forward we settled on James Leo.
Hi All,
Today at 1030am US Central time our baby was born. At 18 days ahead of schedule we are having difficulty with the name and even a spare 6 hours in the car driving up from Monterrey today didn’t change anything. Anyway, he came in at 49cm and 2.98kg. Elena is doing well, she just went in for another dopler on her leg to see if there is any remaining clot from the DVT. Results will be in tomorrow.
Here are the first few photos.
another 3 seconds. . . OK, I'm getting tired now.
the final 3 seconds of the process. . . OK, u missed your chance and I'll nap instead.
