2010-09-05: Baseball Niklas, smiling Zoe, it's all here. All two of those things. Probably some other stuff, too. It's late. For any pictures you want to print, just right click on them and select "save target as".

Niklas's favorite P-Funk song is obviously "Stomp". Mine is "Tear The Roof Off", but this isn't really about me.

Niklas shows off some coloring that he did.

This is a Pro-Status swing if ever there was one.

If Niklas had his way, cookie making would be a daily occurrance.

Here's Niklas waiting for the train to take us to the Pirates game. Some crud team was there, too, but who cares about them.

Here we are walking up to the ballpark. I didn't hear "Pirates suck" nearly as much as I do whenever I'm not rolling with Niklas. He's an intimidating presence, apparently.

This is Niklas displaying a cool contempt for Wrigley.

The second best part of the game? Hot dogs.

The best part? Ice cream.

Niklas wears some venue-appropriate glasses.

Here's Niklas and Pirate superstar Andrew McCutchen.

Niklas and Andrya enjoy some monkey generated bubble action.

This is Niklas's "go-go-go swing" face.

Niklas and Zoe need to work on their game faces, cute though they may be.

Zoe and her bear-butt are very slowly getting away.

Stay on Zoe's good side and you get the cute face.

Cross her, and it's clobberin' time.

Zoe's excited to be wearing orange.

It'll be a while before Zoe can pull off wearing one of my hats. Besides, I don't really think that's a thing.

Cutest face ever? Yes. Yes it is.

This is Zoe mesmerized by ocean action on her bouncy seat.

Zoe enjoys smacking her toy ladybug around. Take that, ladybug.

I don't think Zoe has mastered rattling the rattle yet, but she doesn't let that impact her enjoyment of it.

Here's Zoe smiling about nothing in particular.

2010-09-12: Here are some pictures of Niklas embarking on his academic career. It starts with learning to make friendship bracelets, apparently. Zoe kicks off everyday with some looking cute, so there are some pictures of that, too. For any pictures you want to print, just right click on them and select "save target as".

Here's Niklas literally more excited for his first day of school than I was for any day of school. Possibly all of them, combined.

That first picture wasn't a fluke. He was super excited.

Niklas also finds cake batter exciting. Exciting and crazifying.

Here's Niklas with the awesome WALL-E cake that Andrya made for him.

As Niklas's birthday wish will apparently be coming true, there are no doubt hijinks on the horizon. Watch out for that.

Here's Niklas regaling Zoe with tales of his own time on the play mat.

Zoe thinks that Andrya is really missing out by not rocking a hat.

Zoe is getting better at sitting up. We'll hold off on the parade until she's able to sit on the potty.

2010-09-30: Niklas has been spending a lot of time away from the house lately, what with school and his various business ventures, so this is a Zoe dominated update. Niklas does contribute several pictures that he took with his camera, so there's that. For any pictures you want to print, just right click on them and select "save target as".

Here's Niklas tearing into his stack of birthday loot.

This pictures is titled "Goofy Niklas With Birthday Hat From School".

Here's an action shot of Niklas from t-ball. The blue blur in the middle is Niklas.

Here's Zoe looking at somebody suspiciously. I assume it's Niklas.

This is me and Zoe hanging out on the floor. There's some cool stuff going on down there.

Hey, ladies.

Zoe finds any amount of random stuff hilarious these days.

Zoe continues the tradition of my children wearing pants on their heads.

Here's Zoe waiting semi-patiently while Niklas gets a haircut.

Ponder, ponder, ponder.

I, uh... I don't know what this is about.

Zoe shows off her cute kitty bottom, her sleep induced baldspot and her inability to wear socks.

Zoe looks as classy as one can whilst wearing orange pants.

Zoe hates this hat slightly less than Niklas did.

Zoe isn't entirely clear on the concept of bitter, bitter cold, but she's not overly enthused about the idea.

Here's Zoe getting ready for some picture taking, the results of which you can see below.

Speaking of Niklas (that's him up there), here are a bunch of pictures that he's taken lately. He's quite the student of photography, though I'm sure you wouldn't be familiar with his immediate influences.
