Sidelined

Got sick this week...

... and man it's a bummer.

Couldn't even play with Bibi :0(

To cope with baby withdraws...

... I took more pictures than usual...

... from a distance, of course.

But I'm starting to feel better...

... and that always a good thing.

I <3 Pandas

This lil' panda is so cute... 

... and so is this one. 

Spring Ball

Had a chance to check out UW's spring ball game.

It was low scoring (final score 7-10) :0( ...

... due to great defensive play. :0)

Great turnout, at least on one side of the stadium... 

... [other side] :o(

Harry the husky showed love to Montlake Jake fans...  

... who were proudly representing with their #10 jerseys.   

I had a great time... getting a tan on my ashy legs ;0)

All In The Name...

So a few people were wondering were Luseane got her name from. She was actually named after my aunt from my dads side, but the story actually goes a little deeper than that. You see, my aunt once had a twin brother by the name of William. It was unfortunate that in his youth he had past away. From what I hear, my aunt and Will were very close. In respect to my uncle who had past away as a child, when I was born I was named after him.

I've always had a great relationship with this aunt of mines, and now that I have a daughter of my own, it seemed fitting that our baby be named after her. I thought it was not only important, but special to keep the whole "Luseane - Will" thing going on anyway. 

For short, we just call her Ane (Ah - Nay). And what's cool about that, is that in Japanese (my wife is Japanese btw!) Ane (or at least the pronunciation of it) means "Big Sister." Coincidence? I think not! lol...

Actually, we have a lot of different names for Luseane that we call her by... 

... like "Ane" of course... 

... and "Yuu" (her Japanese middle name). 

Then there's "Bibi" (a name the wifey called her before she was even born)...

... and I sometimes call her my "Lil' Panda" (b/c you know... she's Asian! lol). 

But from 1am - 5am, we call her the "THE BEAST." 

Curly

Most of the time Bibi looks Asian... 

... until she takes a bath and gets her hair wet. 

That's when the curls come out. 

Is she old enough for hair gel? 

Never too early to start!

(That was a joke, by the way...)

Spring Time Blues...

Last weekend it was 79 degrees...

.. and this is what we get this week. 

:o(

Spring time blues. 

Mixing Bowl

For mixing stuff... 

... and bathing Bibi. 

So fresh... 

... and so clean!

Parenting For Dummies

So a package was recieved today... 

... with some valuable parenting tips inside. 

I'm all about being a good parent... 

... so I pay close attention. 

I'm starting to get it. Baby shouldn't do bench presses (baby needs to wait until she is at least 2 years old). 

Funny, I've had baths like that before. But anywho... 

... let parenting begin. 

Trendy shirts...

... and more hiccups. 

Cherry Blossoms

The Quad is always nice this time around.

It makes... 

... going to school... 

... a lot more...  

... enjoyable.

I wish... 

... the weather would be like this... 

... all year round. 

But good weather makes it so much harder... 

... to focus in class...

... especially when these guys... 

... are jamming out... 

... in the sun.
