Odds and Ends

I've gotten behind on my posting. Here are some random odds and ends.

Christine's Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim did a quick visit couple weeks ago. We went out to breakfast, Jamie stole Jim's homestyle potatos and choked on cheerios. A good time was had by all.



We got a bike trailer. Unfortunately the great pictures of Jamie in the trailer with his little helmet on are on Christine's camera and I forgot to get copies.



We went to watch a cyclocross race this weekend. Cyclocross is a weird sport started in Belgium where you ride around on a bike that is not quite a mountain bike but not quite a road bike. You ride over different obstacles and sometimes have to hop off the bike and run and jump over hurtles while carrying your bike. Looks like fun. Both Christine and I are convinced we need to start racing.

Here are two skinny Italian pros riding through a sand trap (actually it's a beach volley ball court):



The race course went through a city park in Downtown Baltimore. They had swings. As you can see, Jamie LOVES swinging!!!

Recent visit

Jamie's "fairy godcousins" Dylan and Tristan visited from Asheville this past weekend. Dylan (14) and Tristan (just turned 12) are Christine's two godsons, though Tristan has always referred to Christine as his "fairy godmother", and it follows that he would refer to Jamie similarly. The boys brought Jamie a skunk suit. Dylan wanted Jamie to match him, because Dylan has his hair dyed black with a white streak.

Recent aquisition...

A kilt for the part-Scottish laddie. And remember, "if it's not Scottish, it's crrrap"!





Somebody get the boy some lederhausen please!
