Ok, so during the day today I took the kids to checkout area preschools/daycares so I could actually get some work done. We’re only looking at 2-3 days a week, so it’s not gonna cost us a fortune.

Anyway, Amy came along to visit the last one for the day (which, by the way, we never entered… something about a daycare being in a stripmall between a tattoo parlor and a dive bar). We ended up going back to the one I liked the most, so Amy could meet the director and checkout the facility.

Shortly after Jak had his bottle before his evening nap, he was playing with one of Elli’s toys grunting because no matter how hard he pushed the button, the toy wouldn’t come on (lack of batteries). He gave up on it pretty quick and walked over to the drawer where we keep his diapers. He opened the drawer and walked over to Amy and I, laughed, fell on his butt and then rolled over…

The grunting was not his frustration with the toy, he was baking brownies

The funny part was not only did he know he had left us a package, but he knew to grab a diaper and get in the position!

I have a feeling potty training Jak, like everything else, is going to be a million times easier than it was with Elli 

Ok, so Amy and I bought a new toy when we moved from Grand Rapids back out to Phoenix… a Mac. With the Mac, we’ve got the whole iLife package, and as I’ve been playing around with it, I wanted to checkout the .mac web package that they offer. 

It’s pretty cool with everything you get, which you can see at the Apple .Mac site.

Anyway, our gallery is located at: http://gallery.mac.com/holdcraft. We’re setup right now with the trial account, so we don’t get a lot of space until we purchase the full year package, but we do have a small picture gallery setup of Jak’s Palate surgery.

Talk to everyone again soon!

Here’s a short 2 minute video I took last week of Jak walking. It’s pretty funny at the beginning of the video, he keeps blinking/rolling his eyes away. I was using our digital camera and that’s the reaction he gives us anytime he thinks we’re taking a picture… basically prepping for the flash to go off. 

Ok, so I’m trying this out in iMovie. I’m exporting it as a Quicktime movie, it’s only a few pics of Elli with some simple transitions. I’m not even 100% sure I can get this to post correctly in the blog
