Just wanted to post a few fun videos that I took this summer with my camera. Good silly fun.

Monday, June 8, 2009 --- 100th Post

Blogger.com tells me that this is our 100th posting! So, in tribute, I have attached first-hand pictures of Nicholas' battle yesterday with a soft-serve ice cream cone. It was a tough fight, but I believe the little man came out victorious. Next stop - FROZEN CUSTARD!

Friday, May 8, 2009 --- Early Summer Pics

Just a few fun pics of NJ to post.

Here's NJ smiling widely at our friends Matt and Kathy's baby shower. Just a happy kid.

Now the picture below is a classic. Dad, doing what he does best, opening his big mouth. And NJ calmly assessing how he can take the photographer's wallet while she's shooting the pic.

This one is on a playground in Central Park. He just loves drinking fountains!

And the pic below strikes me as particularly funny. Nicholas James just has a blended look of half-sadness, half-fatigue. Or maybe it's just 100% pout. It's anyone's guess.

Sunday, March 15, 2009 --- Saturday in the Park, I think it was the Fourth of July

Well, it wasn't quite the 4th of July, but it was a fairly warm Saturday in March. Lori, Michael and Nicholas all headed downtown to go shopping, and fit a lot of fun in between the purchases.

Here we are at the subway station at 181st St, where Nicholas decides to throw some strange looks at the resident accordion player. The guy got a dollar, despite.

Here's Nicholas going down a big slide with the help of Daddy.

Here's Nicholas going down the twisty slide with the help of Mommy.

Now Nicholas going down the big cone slide alone!

Monday, June 30, 2008 --- Swingin in the Summertime!

A great picture that Lori took a week or so ago when NJ was out swinging. Look at that tongue sticking out. If this doesn't make you smile, you're a stone-cold bastard. No, really, you are.

The Bridenstines consist of five sentient beings of various intellect, value and potential, specifically:

Lori -- Wife and mother, taking a government-sanctioned maternity break from her personal training gig to birth, rear and guide her son as he begins his life and ends hers, a.k.a. “eating the metaphorical bon bon.”

Nicholas -- Newest addition to the family, born happy, healthy and eager to start blaming his parents for ruining his life. Predicted first word – Why?

Brummie -- Elder female feline, happy with warm belly rubs and cold bowls of milk. Tabby in coat, Tiger in heart.

Maya -- Deadly-but-delicious younger putty tat, with a soft face to melt the hardest heart and a proclivity toward urinating on Mom and Dad while they sleep.

Michael -- Husband and father, busy writing, producing and directing the next great American sitcom, if at least in his head. Loves to multi-task while on the phone, often by dusting while yapping.
