Kate’s Artwork

by Kirk Pozadzides on April 7, 2012

Just in time for Easter, we’re happy to showcase our little Van Gogh’s artwork. We’re really fortunate to have a fantastic part-time nanny who just loves “art time.” It’s amazing how art can engage children and Kate is in heaven during creative play time.

This artwork stems over the last year from various times. While it’s not necessarily in order, it definately is 100% authentic. No plagiarisms here. I hope you enjoy!

Sunny March Day w/ The Girls

by Kirk Pozadzides on March 4, 2012

What a beautiful day today in Houston! It started out 45 degrees, but reached 73 by the afternoon. It was one of those few amazing days where sitting at home isn’t an option. So, we loaded up the family (Jenny, Kate, Sophia, and Jenny’s parents) and headed out to lunch at one of our favorite Italian restaurants. The patio has waterworks, a fire pit and couches for relaxing. Did I mention a chilled bottle of Pinot Grigio?

Amazingly, Sophia slept for most of our lunch and Kate welcomed everyone in the patio section to “Kate’s play area.” Sophia turns 2 months old next Saturday, so its time to start exposing her to the world! Kate is developing into a social, fun-loving little charm! She is so happy and self-reliant!

I snapped some pictures and hope you enjoy! [click to continue…]

Fall Pictures of Kate

November 1, 2011

Its been a while since we’ve uploaded new pictures of Kate. However, the last few weeks have provided several opportunities to snap some pictures. She’s certainly growing, developing a great personality and striking out as a pretty independent (and headstrong) little girl. Kate’s vocabulary is expanding quickly and she’s communicating in both English and Vietnamese. [...]

Spring Vacation ’11 – Florida

May 13, 2011

Jenny, Kate and I escape the daily grid in Southern Florida… We all agreed (especially Kate) that it was time for a family vacation and a post-birthday celebration for Jenny. Over the last fifteen months, we’ve taken Kate to Los Angeles, Austin, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Orlando, Chicago, and Tahoe. So for a change, we [...]

Kate vs Mac ‘N’ Cheese

May 13, 2011

The Parental Postulate Let’s start this post with the understanding that when picky-eating kids find something they’ll eat… parents select restaurants by their kid’s menu. Note I’m sure there are plenty of child psychologists that will be disappointed in this post, but they should file their complaints in our Diaper Genie. Kate Loves Mac ‘N’ [...]
