Ice Skating

Posted on 
I took Dannielle ice skating this month after she seemed interested in figure skating on TV. We had a blast and went for about 2 hours. My back was hurting because at her age ice skating consists of raising her hands and me pulling her around the ice.

Diamond injured

Posted on  March 3, 2004 Recently tragedy struck Diamond, Danielle's dog. Mary-Anne, her mother, explains: Hello All,  I wanted to let you know about our little sheltie. The gate got left opened by Accident on Tuesday and I was inside with 2 toddlers and a newborn. When I noticed that Diamond wasn't in the back yard I went out and called for her. She was on the other side of the gate. As I let her in I noticed that she was not walking on her front left foot. I picked her up to see if she had something in her foot and realized there was something terribly wrong with her leg. I called Stuart and the Vet right away. I called Poppy and she called her husband for me (needless to say I was quite upset) He rushed over from his job at our church and took the dog to the vet for me. Stuart met him there and we found out she had a Dislocated leg (Same Elbow as mine same type of brake)They took ex-rays and bandaged her up and we need to keep her quite for a week. In a week tim...

Good Boy Daddy!

Posted on  March 3, 1994 One day Danni and I were running behind schedule. I had got pizza for dinner and decided to rent a video for Danni (I was sick of Winnie the Pooh and wanted something different myself). We went to BlockBuster and got Snow White. I handed the video to Danni (she likes putting them in the VCR), turned on the TV and VCR and proceeded to get dinner ready. Danni was having trouble with the tape. She got it in and it started to play but then stopped. "Help me Daddy" she said. I came over and ejected the tape. It was all tangled up as often happens with audio casettes. This was the first time this ever happened to me. So I took the tape over to the bathroom, got a powered screwdriver and started to remove the screws in the tape case. I took the tape apart and examined the mechanisms therein. I was trying like hell to fix the kink in the tape and get it all back together again.

Just like Puttputt

Posted on  July 10, 1994 To understand this story you must know who PuttPutt is. PuttPutt is a cartoon car who lives on a CD ROM. He is part of a interactive, multimedia game that I got for Danni. In this game you have to "solve" the problem by getting a balloon, a dog and washing PuttPutt the car. You travel around meeting other characters and can use a mouse to select object on the screen which make noises, spin or talk to you. If you do all that you are supposed to you join the parade and effectively win the game. Danni loves the game and we play it often. One day, Danni noticed that my van was dirty. I thought it might be interesting to take her to a car wash. Ya know, the kind that you do yourself with the spray gun. Thought she might enjoy helping. We were gonna go to the Gilroy Garlic Festival (which usually has a dusty parking area) so I decide to delay washing the van until we got back. The festival was fun. We got a Simba balloon (Simba is the baby lion in ...
