Milk Bank Party

Mum Mum has been donating breast milk to the Austin Milk Bank. They were having a party the other weekend in the Houston Zoo, and we had yet to get our membership so we thought… what the heck, it’s a free entry to the zoo and maybe even some free food/drink, so off we toddled.

We arrived late due to Norbles taking a long mid afternoon nap (lucky little thing… she is having another one of those now after taking another zoo trip, where she came back with Digit, the Silverback Gorilla teddy bear) only to find that the food (especially the cake) had just been removed. We still sat around and had a chat with some of the people from the Milk Bank, and ran after Pickle Pie who was still waking up, and not happy at missing cake.

Photos were taken, we went on our merry way and then this was posted on the Milk Bank Blog…

See the bottom right of the picture to see how happy Pickle Pie was about missing cake!

Actually, she tends to prefer fruit over cake… which is good for her, and for her dad!

Four Weeks…

Or close to it since any activity here. Yes we are still here, just been a little busy!

Updates, in no particular order;

Work – is work, is work, is work. Nuff said. Been travelling on and off. Gotten engaged to run a project then hours pulled back, limiting what I can do. Nuff said. Year end madness… No more on that.

Pickle Pie – We have a true toddler. She is walking around like a champ. Loves to chase and be chased. Very independent and head strong. Overall very happy camper. Making her parents (and grandparents) very happy in the process. Oh, and she loves her corn. On and off the cob. Photos and videos need to be uploaded to Mac, processed, then uploaded.

Mum Mum – Spending a lot of day at Pickle Pie’s beck and call. When not doing that, various projects keeping Mum Mum busy.

Dadawa – Played golf once the other weekend. Badly. Managed to pop my shoulder while at the driving range the night before. Not good sign! Working away (see above). About to start second read through and first pass edit at friend’s second book. Also just signed up for NaNo (no, I am not becoming a nanobot)… http://www.nanowrimo.org/. Jury out on if I will complete, or will let anyone read what I do complete, but what the heck, gotta push yourself right?

Miscellaneous – Weather cooling down, finally. Allows us to spend more time outside and with doors open (making good use of new doors and screens on the doors). 3 year old DLP TV is deciding it is tired of being a tv and will now be a star scene (will upload photo). Control chip is dying and is expensive to replace. We may be shopping for a new one soon.
