Coral decided to do a montage for Mimi - check it out:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMI!

This morning Coral was snuggling with me in bed. I said, “Coral, I love you.” She replied, “I love you too, Dad.” Then, after a slight pause, she followed that up with, “but I love mom more.” - and she rolled over to snuggle with B. “Dad, I love you a little bit, but I love mom more.”

Hmmmm.

Three birthday videos for Kirstin!

I know it’s been a while since I posted anything interesting. I’m going to try and rectify that. I got wrapped up in our Viget Labs office move - which was very exciting but also very time consuming.

Since the last time I posted anything of interest several things have happened:

1) Coral is potty trained!

2) Coral took a nap without a pacifier (I know, it’s just one, and she has since gone back to using them but it’s a start).

3) Coral went swimming without any floaties!

We also had Coral’s three year checkup and she came out 80th percentile for both height and weight (whatever that’s worth). She was very brave when she got two shots. Overall she’s healthy as good be and we’re very fortunate for that.

I’ll try to post some photos and video sometime soon.

So her birthday was yesterday - but it was a busy day. We had what turned out to be a big party with lots of people (something like 35 adults, 19 kids, and 6 yet-to-be-born kids). I think people had fun - it sure seemed like the kids had fun.

Here are some pictures from the event (thanks Uncle Tim!).
