Kate Loves Outdoor Adventure

by Kirk Pozadzides on November 17, 2011

For every complaint you hear about living through the hot Texas summers, there are benefits. While my collegues in the Northeast are freezing, we’re enjoying 70s-80 degree weather in November. Kate is having a blast and we’re happy to tire her out before bedtime. Below you’ll see a few pictures from two recent adventures to Hermann Park in Houston and Market Street in The Woodlands.

Kate is definately growing up and desperately wanting her independence. It’s difficult to let go when she hasn’t learned what’s acceptable to put in her mouth! Nevertheless, the terrible twos have some redeeming features. Kate absorbs things (and sometimes daddy’s bad words) like a sponge and is developing an impressive bi-lingual vocabulary. Note: When she pats the chair beside her and says sh$t, she is really saying “sit.” And, she didn’t learn that one from me!!! [click to continue…]

Spring Vacation ’11 – Florida

by Kirk Pozadzides on May 13, 2011

Jenny, Kate and I escape the daily grid in Southern Florida…

So for a change, we decided to head to Key West (3 nights) with bookend overnight stays in Fort Lauderdale (1 night before and after).

Follow our trip from Ft. Lauderdale to Islamorada Key, then Key West for a few days and back to home. Here are a few pictures… [click to continue…]

Today, we watched our baby girl celebrate her first Christmas. While she won’t remember it (except from these pictures), she had a blast ripping, munching, crawling all over her new presents.

Diaper Time Has Never Been So Cute

August 24, 2010

There is a Vietnamese phrase (mèo khen mèo dài đuôi) that tells a story about a mother cat telling her kitten that she has such a beautiful tail. I hear that phrase all the time from my in-laws after I compliment my wife or daughter… After all, as a husband and father I have the [...]
