Some new Videos!

Orion's First Piano Concerto.  Orion is 5 months old and learning piano. Earlier today he also showed me a special guitar playing technique involving one hand and one foot!



In the second video, Orion is demonstrating the Chinese custom of asking for a red pocket at Chinese New Years. If he keeps this up, he will be able to earn many many red pockets (and mucho money!) next year!!

Joe and Rachel's Wedding Weekend

A Few weeks back Joe and Rachel were married in Alsip, Illinois, which is a south side suburb of Chicago.  As a result, Dad, Carol, Tom, Julie, Bill and Heather were all able to stop in to visit, and for many of them, meet Little Orion for the first time.  You might notice that heather is just starting to show.  Soon Orion will have another second cousin (Is that right?) to meet!

In case anyone is wondering, Carol had Orion bursting with laughter in those shots.

Sorry, no shots from the wedding.  You can see many photos of the ceremony on facebook if you are interested.

Old Town Art Fair

Just a quick note here, I've been swamped for the past few weeks and unable to update with anything meaningful.  In the meantime, I want to mention that the old town art fair is coming up in two weeks.  This is THE event of the Old Town year.  If you are looking for an excuse to visit old town, see the beautiful buildings, eat some great food, listen to music and view/purchase world class artwork, make sure to visit the Old Town art fair.  Please note that the Old Town art fair is held in combination with the Well's Street Art Festival and the Party at St. Mike's in Old Town 2010.  Together these three events are a really great event.

Proceeds from the events go right back to the neighborhood parks/playgrounds, schools etc.

Minnesota Twins Starting Lineup 2032

To be honest, I'm not sure if Mei Mei will make the team...

Laying Around

Playtime

Here are some shots of Orion in his play chair.  Soon we'll use this same chair to get a photograph taken for Orion to get his passport.
