Happy Holidays!

Snow play in late 2009

2009-12-21T09:49:00.001-08:00

Started out with a good brunch before the big day.
Since the cafe happened to be in a casino, I had a good opportunity to profess and demonstrate my system.

Got a sleigh ride towed behind a snowmobile to the kids area.

Simply could not get enough of this merry-tube-go-round-thing.

It's good to be king.

Some of the snowballs were huge!

Clearly, we had extensive snowball fights.

Any time this happens, you know it was a good day out.

E's intense beeting.

2009-08-03T20:17:00.000-07:00

MicroKorg fun with my good bud!

2009-05-24T12:59:00.000-07:00

Does this qualify as my first band?

Man, sure am hearing about this Joshua a lot lately...

2009-02-21T11:36:00.001-08:00

How I spent last week

2009-02-14T16:07:00.001-08:00

Whoa, that ocean look serious...

The pool seems just right!

Now for some nice cool water on this sunny day.

Now for some more relaxing...

MN trip and Tahoe!

2009-01-31T15:51:00.000-08:00

Yay! EASD and LMN love the piano (and posing for pictures too)!

Banana brain? No, brain banana! That's it...;)
It's just sillyness in G'ma F's kitchen.

GONDOLA!

Hu 'dat?

From a trip to the mountains...

2009-01-31T15:23:00.000-08:00

Some jokers at a summit...

I like Japanese food!

My first sled and my first time!

Go fly a kite and have a good meal!

Early November Posting

Man, didn't I just have a haircut not long ago?! Who cares, wheeee!

Call me Jonah?

Love that water!

Happy [post-]Halloween Everyone!

2008-11-01T08:47:00.001-07:00

Found this photo from way back in July, its too good not to post.

Again we searched for the perfect pumpkins.

We found the ones that were just right.

We even had great plans for them, but our days leading up to Halloween just seemed to be too busy to carve them into jack-o-lanterns this year.

This pose look familiar to anyone? Click here for a hint.

We still know how to have a good time! RAWR!

A couple recent shots...

2008-10-09T22:38:00.000-07:00

In case anyone is wondering, I'm 38 inches tall now.

And here is my most recent favorite toy.

Woo! My b-day!

2008-05-17T22:45:00.000-07:00

I had to make my own cake!

Hmm, snow can be made into a ball...

A good day easter egg hunting!

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Last post for today!

2007-10-23T10:24:00.001-07:00

Okay, this picture was from the NY trip to see the Navrat family. Momma hijacked it from the Navrat's blog -naughty Momma! :P

High in the sky --just about to leave Joan's Farm.

This is how I seat myself in my stroller.

Here Mom!

I have finally reached the end of the line in updating these pics. Scroll down the page to start from the beginning of today's updates. Take care everyone and enjoy!
-EASD

Final catch-up post...I think...;)

2007-10-23T09:42:00.000-07:00

Jumped in the Radio Flyer to get to Joan's Farm Pumpkin Patch. Yay!

E, meet goat. Goat, E!

Peas and carrots...I mean, peas and pumpkins!

Air E!

You can't see what I'm doing but I'm pulling pumpkins!

I think I may have two or more new pics to post. Check back later today. If I haven't added any then this is the end of the line for awhile! I hope you have enjoyed (or enjoyed so far)!

Take care,
EASD

2007-10-23T09:29:00.001-07:00

Guitar hero!

Mom cut my hair. It was really long in back. Not sure you can really tell from these pics though.

Momma cuddles

And yet, more to come! These last three pics that I just posted were taken last week. Almost caught up,
EASD

Still playing catch-up!

2007-10-23T09:13:00.000-07:00

LMN, Daddy and me! RAWR!

Beautiful Prospect Park! :)

Momma and LMN's doggy Sadie - she's such a luv!

Assuming I don't run out of time, there will be more to come yet again!

-EASD

More pics!

2007-10-23T08:50:00.001-07:00

Okay, so I was in a bad mood. So sue me! Momma made me post this one!

This was my last day in SF for daycare. This is the Polish flower lady that we talked to almost everyday on our way to and from "school" and work. She was so nice she gave me a flower on my last day! Yay! A sunflower!
Momma thought I was done napping so she brought me out to the couch. Guess not! ;)

My first bath with a friend - NY and LMN! It's only too bad our parents couldn't catch a picture of us holding hands in our strollers...we like each other!

Again, more to come!
EASD

FINALLY!

2007-10-23T08:31:00.000-07:00

It has been absolutely forever, since early August, since we have posted anything here. But here we go...get ready to be inundated with pictures! :)

This first one was taken many months ago. I think it was late May? I can't remember. But it was E's first Carousel ride!

On one of two summer visits home to MN, early June I think. Erin, Isabella and E!

With the older woman...my girlfriend Brooklynn! :) We like our wheels!

Lawn-bowling in Golden Gate Park. Momma is fierce!

A little scooter action! I'm a little distracted by some big kids off to my left!

More to come!

Hang in tight,
EASD

At long last...a few newish pics in no particular order! :)

2007-08-01T00:11:00.000-07:00

Sweet sleep and the very most recent picture - taken at 10pm tonight...7/31/07

Post nap hair! (Second most recent picture...and who knows after that!)

This is the closest I'll get to driving a motorcycle until I'm at least 35, people. At least that's what Mom & Dad say...:P

My favorite activity with my favorite toy - BALL!

Visiting the MN Zoo awhile ago

Well, everyone! It was sure nice to see you. Keep in touch! I'll try to post again somewhat soon, maybe with new shots and maybe with a few more from in between our last session and this one!

See ya,
EASD

Getting some December pics in before its too late!

2006-12-23T21:23:00.000-08:00

What's that you say? We're going on another trip?

I'm ready! Let's go!!!

OK, I kid, I kid, this suitcase is bigger and should be more comfortable.

Hey Bjornsons!

2006-12-04T16:51:00.000-08:00

Auntie MaryLu-ee! You are delightful! I'll definitely be your little sugar-booger anyday!

And Emma and Owen! I only wish I could play with you guys more often. Miss you!

More lovely ladies...and ME, Baby E!

2006-12-04T16:48:00.000-08:00

Are we siblings?

2006-12-04T16:43:00.000-08:00

No, just cousins. However, I think we could fool anyone who doesn't know us!
What do you think?

Motley Crew! ;)

2006-12-04T14:23:00.000-08:00

A picture of me and Uncle Neal! This guy is so cool I can't get over it. You can tell from the look on my face. Just how does he do it? Coolness to aspire to! :) Whoa!

Auntie Christine!

2006-12-04T14:17:00.000-08:00

Recently, Mama took me on a trip to meet Auntie Christine and Uncle Neal in celebration of Christine's recent graduation..or should I say, Dr. Auntie Christine's graduation! :)

Here we are:

Tadaaaaa!

I'm rolling over...well, as of Aug or Sept!

2006-12-04T12:21:00.000-08:00

Ready? Set? GO!!!

We're cute! No one can disagree ;)...(well...you can but please don't)

2006-12-04T12:18:00.000-08:00

Thumbs are for sucking! :P

Mom and Dad's 5 yr Anniversary - Dad and I

2006-12-04T12:08:00.000-08:00

So, this was awhile ago. However, still wanted to share these pics! Mom and Dad's anniversary was on June 16th. But aren't we cute? Here we are at a winery in Livermore. Mom and Dad were happy that the tasting was free. The bottled wine however, was not! ;)

Perpetual Catch-Up

2006-10-06T20:21:00.000-07:00

So, here's another update. You may notice a small area where ads now exist here, they are intentional and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Dad assures me that any funds gained from the ads will go directly into my college fund... no pressure ;]

There's more to come, just letting you know I haven't forgotten about everyone.

-EASD

...
Oh, and one more thing... BOO!!!

From Mid-August and Tahoe

2006-09-13T23:04:00.000-07:00

Hey Folks! It's me again and I've come to tell you a little about a short trip my parents took me on last month. Not long before we left, they took this pic. You may have seen it before as I offered it as a tide-over when I resumed this updating business.

Here is the beautiful view of Emerald Bay at Lake Tahoe from a scenic lookout on the way to the beach. Unfortunately we left the camera in the car or else we'd have lake-beach pictures to show off. Just trust me, the water was cool, clean, clear and totally refreshing...or at least that's what Mama and Daddy said!

And here are my parents and Aunt La playin' around. Dad thinks Ma and La have cooties...or at least his inner-kidling does! ;) I'm there but taking a little nap in the stroller.

Anyway, my next installment in the blogorama should include a couple of pics taken immediately before Dad went abroad.

Enjoy!
Later,
EASD

Trying to catch up, STILL....;)

2006-09-08T09:50:00.000-07:00

These pics were all taken in early August. I'm getting closer to being caught up....I think. ;)

Daddy D holding his pride and joy up for the world to see! (We were at Half Moon Bay - da' beach, babies!)

Mama and Aunt La brought me to my first MLB game - SF Giants vs. Colorado Rockies...GO GIANTS!!!

A nice couple in front of us took a pic of Mama, La and me! Nice hair, ladies! Trying to relive your younger years, or what? ;)

Stay tuned, more to come!
Later,
EASD

Back in Cali

2006-08-31T17:03:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! Now I get to catch you up on life in Cali as it was, and then how it is...not all in one post though.

Soon after we returned from MN, I got to see Mama's friend Heather again. Mama says she visited us in the hospital the day after I was born but...ehhhh...I don't remember. Anyway, she's really nice and we had lots of fun getting reaquainted.

Then Auntie Laura, Kyle, Mama and I decided to explore Muir Woods. Here we are peaking from behind a tree...I wasn't really looking at the camera. Really guys, you take TOO many pictures! ;)

Just the boys!

Mom had to step in to coax a smile out of me for the picture. As a result, Aunt Laura was the only one posing. ;) This one was taken at the beach right near Golden Gate Bridge after sand, sun, and fun! :)
That's it for now, folks! I can only be on the computer for so long before Mama starts fussing at me to pay attention to her!

Later dudes,
EASD

More MN from the 4th (2nd of 2 posts)

2006-08-30T15:55:00.000-07:00

Here I am with my Aunty Renee...oh my goodness is she a sweetie! :)

Daddy caught Mama and I on film resting. We were so tired after all that visiting!

The next post will be a little more current now that we've finished our MN pics!

Later,
EASD

More pics from the MN trip (1st of 2 posts from the "more series")

2006-08-30T15:32:00.000-07:00

Mama says we are startimg to catch up but have a ways to go. Please bear with us, there WILL be more posts to come!

Me and my beautiful cousin Paula! :)
Mama and Daddy's friend Matt; We match, how fun!

'Da boat!

Another beautiful cousin watching as her dad, my Uncle Scott, is introducing himself.

I can hardly stand the excitement...overwhelmed here by more beautiful family. Meet Aunt MaryLu and my cousins Emma and Oman...oops, I mean Owen! ;)

Some of 4th of July and before

2006-08-17T11:36:00.000-07:00

I'm as goofy as my caretakers make me out to be...
Auntie Laura thought I looked like some sort of fictional animal here, can't quite remember what though...

Mama and Daddy took me on a plane trip over 4th of July to visit a few of our family and friends in MN on the spur of the moment. We're sad we didn't get to tell more of you we were around, but it was almost impossible to see the small amount of people we did see.

Airplanes are very interesting little places, I look forward to trying this flying thing again soon. I have lots more of you I'm just dying to meet.

Here I am fussing at Mama's cousin Tim, he's quite the charmer and had me calmed down in no time. I sure do like this guy!

Ahhhhhh....Auntie Lara, I missed you! Glad you could join me for my first boat ride. :)

I'm not too sure whether or not I like these boat things. Everyone gets to swim but me...so unfair. However, Autumn was a real cutie...don't worry sweetheart, I'm not crying because of you. ;)Stay tuned folks, Mama and Daddy have many more pics of me to share and I have much more to say.

Until we meet again,
EASD

I'm baaaaaaack....

2006-08-16T23:22:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! After a long break, I have finally returned. Mom finally uploaded a ton of pictures to her computer and will be updating this blog thing little by little. I just managed to talk her into putting one picture up for all of my loyal fans as a tide-over. So, without much further ado....

Tadaaaaa...!!!!!!! :)

Later, yo! I'll see you all VERY soon on here...Mom promised me (and some others too...you know who you are, you pests)! ;)

EASD

P.S. By the way, I'm almost 4 months old. Can you believe it? You can wish me a happy 4 month birthday on August 24th.

Almost 9 weeks old! Yay!

2006-06-23T10:57:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I am almost 9 weeks old. On Monday, in fact! And...I know I've been a bit of a stranger lately but I've been so busy growing, fussing, feeding and enjoying my parents' and Auntie Laura's company that I haven't had much time to update this thing. But I'm here now so here we go!

It was Daddy's first Father's Day! We had so much fun! We went to the North Beach Festival in SF. I wore my special Daddy t-shirt just for him. Here I am stretching so I can show off the text. In case you can't read the shirt, it says: "My goal...to be as cool as my dad!"

Obviously, the day was tiring me out a bit. I decided to take a nap and Momma and Daddy-D thought it was so cute they wanted a picture with me. I'm all wrapped up because it was kinda chilly out at the end of the day.

Here I am napping again with my froggy friend. Daddy matches Froggy in green with his cool Ween-T!

I think Momma might be getting a little concerned about my sleeping...lol...here she is staring me and Froggy down!

And my final nap pic! Momma said she couldn't sleep anymore so she put me to bed with my sleepy Aunt Laura. We're a good match! We both can sleep at just about any time of day.

Anyway, I'm about 24 inches long now...2 feet tall and I weigh over 13 1/2 lbs in my birthday suit. I have my 2 month (plus) doctor's appt coming up on Monday and get to have my first immunization shots. I'm a little apprehensive about those but M & D say I'll handle it like a champ! Anyway, I got behind on my nap schedule while updating this so I'd better go.

Take care, zzzz,
EASD

Special mid-week treat!

2006-06-08T23:25:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Daddy tell me I really made their day... I have NO idea why. ;D

6 Weeks

2006-06-06T21:50:00.000-07:00

So it has been awhile since I've updated things around here.
I've been a bit busy learning all sorts of new things like: How to stay in bed til 2pm on the weekends like Daddy (See Image A), learning how to smile socially instead of letting smiles solely express my gaseousness, avoiding the camera during these practice smiles until I get it down, graduating to a size 2 diaper, and bulking up to 12.2 pounds!!!

Image A:

Mommy is stylin' me up with my first black t-shirt and blue jeans. This is a genuine "West Coast Strollers" T... ride on!

Peek-a-boo, I see you Mom! Did you think I wouldn't see you sneaking around behind Daddy with the camera?

Doing my calisthenics, a.k.a. "Tummy time!" Phew I'm tired, this getting strong business is hard work!

My favorite place to be - in between two lovely ladies. I'm a lucky boy!

We are a happy family, can't you see? Just wish I was actually looking at the camera in this shot.

Take care everyone, and go easy on me if I don't get around to updating this every week... I'm only 6 weeks old sheesh! ;]

1 month birthday

2006-05-23T22:57:00.002-07:00

Hey everyone! I turned 4 weeks old on Monday, 1 month tomorrow! On this occasion, I have more pictures from the past week or so to share with you.

First, I'm telling Daddy all about my adventures while he was in Monterey for a 2 day meeting. We really missed each other and had lots of catching up to do as you can see...

Daddy even helped me with a bath. He is so cool!
Then, we all decided to go for a trip to the beach in Half Moon Bay. I'm not sure if we really need the sunglasses but we're pretending it was the best beach day ever! ...well, so far it is MY best day at the beach!

Daddy is showing me what the beach is all about. Just check out the view...and surfers, yay! He promises me he will take me surfing some day.

And, here I am as snug as a bug in a... hand knit hooded sweater? I love it! It kept me warm all day. I could barely stay awake.

OK, fine, my parents really want me to post this movie of me hiccuping. Man... how embarrassing. Here it is.

Well folks! Thanks for visiting and sharing in the fun!
Hang loose...dude,
EASD

Week 3

2006-05-17T22:02:00.000-07:00

Greetings and welcome to week three of Mr. E - that's me! I've got lots more fun pictures for you and even more fun to come when I turn 1 month old next Monday. Stay tuned!

Everyone, please say hello to Grandma E. This picture was taken just moments after we met. As you can tell, we are E-namored with one another...;)

I think I may have passed the sniff test...

Ahhhhhh... This thing is SO soft, who made this for me again?

That first bath wasn't so bad. Thanks Mum!

It was quite exhausting, actually. I think it's time for a nap "ZZZzzzzzzzzzz"
Me and my grandparents, this is the life! =D
Well thats all for now folks. I'll keep you posted.
-E

Week 2 post

2006-05-10T18:34:00.000-07:00

By popular demand, I have posted some shots of me with some peeps you haven't seen me in pictures with yet.

First, my lovely blushing momma smiles for the camera as I do what I do best. Yay for boobies!

Next, Momma works at keeping me warm as I rest and keeping herself busy and creative at the hospital...what a woman! ;)

And here I sit in the arms of my namesake (middlename , that is). Grandpa says he's going to teach me how to comb my hair. I'm so excited!
Oh, and this is my silly Aunty. We thought we'd have some fun making faces for the camera. Aren't we cute?

Finally, a solo appearance by yours truly. Wheeeee! A clean diaper...*devious grin* I'll change that in t-minus 5 4 3 2...*pssssss...ffffarrrrt*

By the way, everyone, I am now 2 weeks 2 days old. Haven't I grown? Ok well, off to do more of that growing stuff.
Love from the bug,
EASD

Memories of days surrounding my 1 week birthday.

2006-05-01T23:43:00.000-07:00

So we've discovered I like to sleep on Dad's t-shirts... It seems they'll try almost anything at 4am. I have them right where I want them.

In this next shot, I'm trying the arm-next-to-the-face thing I learned last night.

I love rockin' out to the radio, car rides are great!!!

Hmm, note to self: Remember this pose for graduation photos, but maybe open eyes and smile at that time... Maybe.

Ah yes, the car again, let's try both arms up, this may do well.

Who needs a hat to look cool, not me. The hat needs me to look cool...

It is important to note that my older sister keeps a watchfull eye on me. Even though she's cautiously distant and fuzzy, I still appreciate it.

That is to say, she is watching me when she's not preoccupied with more pressing matters...

Some pics from Mom's phone.

2006-04-28T15:32:00.000-07:00

The boys are tired out.

Wha? Huh?

Like father like son?
