Max set free

Today Max and company paid another visit to the Mary Bridge Children center. It has already been 4 weeks since he first started sporting the latest fashion in fiberglass. But as is the case with most fashion fads this one has now gone the way powdered wigs and whale bone corsets. Its a simple enough procedure. They have a little power saw that slices the cast right off, and since we live in the 21st century we have the technology that allows us to use power tools even on squirming little babies at no harm to them, woot.


No doctor visit would be complete without Max adding some sort of lung exercise. Though this one was more like the competition that the previous exercises were building up to. Gee golly gosh, that kid got some lungs, it won't be long before Max is whooping up on both Uncle John and me in the Hood to coast.


For the finale to this ordeal was a bath, which Max actually enjoyed. He missed being able to splash around. Kind of hard when all you have are wet sponges for the past few weeks. He is already back to cruising around like the past 4 weeks never happened. Another plus to Max having his cast off is both Sarah and I will no longer have to endure every stranger that passes us by wanting an explanation on why a infant could have such an injury.

Sound to Narrows

This one goes out to Uncle John, got to get my smack talk in as we build up to the beach. Today I ran a 12k in 53:17. Hope you're puting your miles in too, be ashame if you couldn't keep pace with Cole and me at the beach.


I already know what you are going to say, and I say "Bring it on"

Max invades the mall




On a recent outing to the Tacoma Mall we let Max loose in the kid's play pen right next to the mall food court. It has various foam objects for kids to climb over and a play house with a slide.




At First Max was a little hesitant but that didn't last long and off he went. Max enjoyed the slide but due to the constant onslaught of other kids we were not able to use it as much as I'm sure Max would have liked to. On the few times we did get Max on the slide I had to hover right over him, the other kids were not to keen on looking out for Max and frequent pile up occurred at the bottom of the slide. Afterwards we packed up and shared a Jamba juice, banana berry i think it was. I can't remember for sure, Max had most of it anyways.

Its almost here....

The wait is nearly over, not exactly sure what I'm referring to, but is applicable to a number of events closing in on us in the coming summer months.

For starters we have Geoff's magic show "Hypothesis" opening June 13th going through the 15th. Get in to see him while tickets are still cheap, once he is famous he'll only have so many family tickets to hand out. Only two weeks after that Sarah & I high tail it down to Disneyland while Max gets to take his own little vacation in the country with Grandma and Grandpa. After our return I'm sure it'll be nothing slower then high gear for the next two weeks as we make all the final preparations for Sonja & Jordan's wedding. It'll probably seem like we just finish taking the decorations down when its time to pack up for Otter Crest and are flapping around to a chicken beat. Well that's about the next three months in a nut shell. Hang on, we're in for some chop.
