Post a pic of YOUR Pride

He looks very impressed with himself.
I probably should have mentioned this before...Rupert's skill at camoflage is so amazing it took being prepped for neutering before anyone discovered he is a she.

and yes, she is very smug

Great pictures, especially the children in their Batoutfits.

Thanks, but it wasn't that hard. The hard part was the cape, which she made. The rest was basically assembled. She found this great black leotard. I cut the Bat symbol out of foamboard, and we used the rest of the foamboard for the "wings" on her gloves.

Yeah, last night, unbeknownst to me as I was watching TV, my son climbed onto the armrest of the couch and did a bellyflop right on my chest.

As I tell people, my little girl is so sensitive. She loves animals and flowers. She has the soul of an artist.

My son, on the other hand, pretty much has the soul of an ultimate fighter.

Surprisingly, no.

In Florida it is actually encouraged.

Now that I'm a Dad, I'll be posting a lot more in this thread.

Here's Kat and Logan earlier this month, when he was nearly 2 weeks old.

The second pic is Logan sleeping at his mother's Birthday party about a week later.

Strange picture of my lab/dachshund mix:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/edcunard/0a1e9efd.jpg

[Lone Ranger]

I am just getting pics loaded onto my computer so prepare for the onslaught.

Kat's birthday is just 9 days before Christmas, so we have a very busy household during the month of December. Since Logan was born November 30th, this time of year will only get more and more busy.

We had both families over for Kat's birthday with lots of food and gifts. I wanted to make a big deal of her birthday, since it shouldn't be overlooked just because there's a newborn in the house.

My real 'pride' here is the cake I made for Kat. It a cream cheese Bundt cake with fresh blueberries inside and out, with a white chocolate/cream cheese icing.

That's us in the first pic - just before she blows out the candles.

The second picture is of our new family unit - Logan is 18 days old at that stage.

Congrats to the son. Nathan's last pinewood derby he built the car himself. Lost 2 and then we tweaked the wheels (they were rubbing) and he went undefeated after that.

This last time they had a boat regatta in which he placed second.

On my son's behalf - thanks!

Cool. I didn't know your son was in scouts.

Alignment of the wheels is the key. He put the wheels on himself. I just told him how to check alignment.

[Slam_Bradley]

Yep. He's relatively new Webelo. My wife's family is big in to scouting.

It's my Remington700 in an Accuracy International sniper stock set and muzle brake.

[BlairH]

http://www.ukshooting.com/images/DSC00071s.jpg

My .22 AR15 carbine. (I'm doing a magazine conversion right now, that hides the dinky .22 20 round magazines inside a USGI 30 round magazine. It involves a hacksaw and a lot of expanding foam!) The scope is an ACOG, an advanced combat optical gunsight! :D A bit much when you consider the gun is only used for short range gallery matches and so-on.

It really is astonishing how light this particular firearm is. Quite short as well, when you consider the collapsable stock.

I don't have any photos of my Lee Enfield hosted anywhere right now. I'd take it out of my safe and take a phoo, but I'm sooooo lay right now.

Awwww . . she's cute.

You have a few more years of "Daddy's a hero" until you get the rolling eyes and "Daddy's a Dork" treatment. It's not too bad if you realize that you really are a dork and she's just making her first observations of adult dorkdom.*

*My daughter is 13 - and I try to turn her teen criticism into self-deprecating humor . . .unless it really crosses a line of disrespect

[Lubichev]

Yeah, I am dreading those adolescent years. And without a mother for her to either relate to and/or rebel against, I will get ALL that responsibility. However, we have been thought a lot together and it will take a lot to get into the "I'm embarassed to even be seen with you" territory.

Then again, I've seen stranger things happen.

[Winslow]

Man, my post-fu sucks today.

I didn't mean to depress you - just give you some hope that parent - child relationships don't have to turn sour when a child starts to become and adult.

I get along great with my daughter.

Columbine comes to mind.

[BlairH]

Columbine comes to mind.
Columbine was perpetrated by kids not much younger than myself. They did it because they were loons and nutcases, not because they were kids.

I fully intend to teach my kids how to shoot when they are ready (and if they are willing).

[Lubichev]

Me too. Must protect her from the advancing capitalist hordes.

[Winslow]

There's no question that kids and guns are a dangerous combination . . .

But I'm not sure what that has to do with the "realities" of posting pictures on an internet forum thread.

There's no harm.

I guess I don't understand the objection either, Blair . . .

[BlairH]

I guess I don't understand the objection either, Blair . . .
Because AR15s are evil firearms, when children use them, they say "Shit! This is fun. When I grow up I'm going to buy several"

Then they become struggling law students, and they can hardly afford basic necessities like food, hookers and advanced combat optical gunsights!

Unfortunately, if Red-Dawn has taught me anything, I'll be one of the first to "bite it" should the communazis invade. They'll simply find the firearms certificate registry, use it to locate my house, and hunt me down.

Y'know the scary thing about the manual for that gunsight? It reads more like -firstly- a manual on how to kill people and -secondly- a manual on how to kill people from (and in) moving vehicles.

First time I've heard a .22 referred to as a "death instrument" but fair enough I guess. I woln't disagree with you about the AI though. That one is a sniper rifle and I make no apologies for that because I can use it for long range target shooting.

Be my guest. You can even shoot it in the field out back if you want.

Lots of people seem to like (or hate) that rifle in particular. Even fellow gun nuts are surprised to see it, I get a lot of "Wow! Is that really an M16?" to which I just nod and say "kinda" (it is -of course- not "technically" an M16 as it fires .22 ammunition instead of .223)

Heh!
This part of Europe has quite a long and illustrious tradition when it comes to the shooting sports. Y'know those foliage suits that snipers wear? The proper name for them is "ghillie suits", ghillie being the Scottish word for "man" or "gamekeeper". This name was adopted during WWI when the Brit forces attempted to counter German Jager (hunters) units. Apparently the best shots we could find were the Scottish Gamekeepers (ghillies).

What a good looking kid. But when are his adamantium claws going to break the skin?

Enjoy fatherhood, Scott (which you apparently are). For every frustration, there are ten moments of pure joy. And as you see him develop, you're going to enjoy every new experience. I'm really happy for you and Kat.

But dammit, they grow up too fast. My daughter's turning seven years old and it feels like yesterday when she was that small, and falling asleep on my shoulder every night. Now I'm watching her baby teeth fall out, and feeling old as the hills.

Again, nice pictures. I look forward to seeing him in person in about a month and a half...

One of my favourite things is to go into his room when I can hear that he's woken up when it's still dark.

And Nathan with Livingston, the koala explorer (complete with pith helmet and cargo pants).

Very cool Slam.

Just curious - does Nathan resemble you when you were younger?

Nathan looks exactly like my Dad. We compared pics when they were both around five and they were dead ringers. Connor actually looks more like me, except for the brown eyes he got from his mother.

On Tuesday nights, Chick-Fil-A has a family night, and some cartoon character always makes an appearance. This week was Spidey, and since boratot is named after the wall crawler (Parker), we thought we'd go see him. At a distance, Parker was in awe. Up close, not so much.

I'm fairly proud of my digital camera, as it allows me to take uber-cool photos like these. (yes they are fairly "jaggy". I need to resize the pics in Paint so that I can post them here)

Nathan's gifted and talented class had a famous persons day. Here he is as Nathan Hale.

He decided on him on his own and did all his own research. I think he decided on him because he was the most famous Nathan out there. For a while he was thinking about Jack Kirby, but didn't go with him. My choice of Hugh Hefner was vetoed as inappropriate.

At the start of the month, we have a big family vacation down to Costa Rica. Travelling with a baby was a new experience for both Kat and I, but luckily Logan, who had just turned 4 months old, was as a champ the whole way. The heat and sun did stress us out a bit - as he has really only known winter so far.

Here a pic of Logan cooling off in the shade by the pool.

I am loving fatherhood - but I'm glad that no one asked me about it at 4:00 AM this morning.

Fun pic.

At four months he's on the verge of sleeping longer and more peacefully through the night.

When they become teens, they want top stay up and talk when you want to go to bed and have sex. Different kind of stress. ;) :D

Fun pic.

At four months he's on the verge of sleeping longer and more peacefully through the night.

He's a great sleeper, but lately it's become more of a matter of 'when' he chooses to get his 8 hours in.

Last week, he was a bit of a nighthawk - only really settling down sometime between 11:00 and midnight. That wasn't too bad, as he generally slept in until 8:00-8:30 or so. I get up for work at 7:15, so I get ready while he and Kat continue sleeping.

Last night, however, he crashed just past 8:00 and woke up hugnry at 4:15. After nursing, we tried to rock him back to sleep, but it just wasn't working. By 5:00, I decided to take him for a drive. That knocked him out. We got back home at 5:30 and he slept in the carseat by my side of the bed for another 90 minutes.

When you add it all up, he seems to be getting plenty of sleep. Me, on the other hand...

That's one beautiful baby.

Thanks, west.

I think so - but I've got that whole bias thing going on. The best thing about him, is that Logan has a wonderful personality. He cracks his Mom and me up all the time.

Thanks - and that's only his half-pout!

He does this thing where his top lip disappears and his bottom lip comes out so far that it seems to defy all physical laws.

We still haven't managed to catch that one on film, as we are usually trying to distract him before the waterworks get started.

He is actually a very happy baby - and slept from 9:30 until 7:00 last night I am feeling totally re-energized this morning.

She looks pretty close in age to Logan, we may have to compare notes.

The younger one is 4.5 months and her older sis is a few months over 2 and already a geek (she LOVES Spider-Man, The Hulk, Star Wars, X-Men, and any sport).

Great - they are very cute.

Let's talk sleep strategies some day. Logan is a pretty good little sleeper, but we are starting the phase where we want him to fall asleep on his own. Trying a bit of Ferber-lite.

I may have to ask for advice since you've been through it will you 2-year old fairly recently.

Here's are some fairly new pics of Logan.

The development in the past couple of months has been incredible. He'll be 7 months old on the 30th. He's now sitting on his own for long stretches of time, sleeping well through the night, rolling over with ease and trying his damndest to crawl.

Over the past few weeks, we've been introducing him to solids - both in the form of rice and oat cereals, as well as various 'Braun Hand Blender' delicacies such as sweet potato, squash and avocado. It's a little messy, but he has really been having fun with it - which is good because I hear some babies really only want the breast (and who can blame them!).

He and his Mom are up at the family cottage this week - I'm joining them on Friday, but I am missing them both a lot.

Spider-Man ball cap? Check times two.
Spider-Man pajamas? Check.
Fantastic Four sunglasses? Well, we can't all be perfect.

This kid doesn't stand a chance. We're already planning on Spider-Man (or Miner-Man as Parker calls him) bed sheets when we move him to a toddler bed. And it's not just my wishful thinking. The kid loves him. When I'm trying to read one of my Ultimate Spider-Man hardcovers or watch Spider-Man 2 on HBO, Parker wants to be right there with me. He even knows who Aunt May is.

So take that Peter Parker Kirkman!

My son has all of the above as well (as you can see in the pic of us above).

As to the name, my last name is "Petersen." "Peter Petersen" is too awful to contemplate. "Parker Petersen" was just way too cutesy.

So, I compromised. My son's name is "Riley." (Ben anyone?)

My daughter's name is a combination of the two loves of his life: "Mary Gwynyth."



Please don't tell my wife. She doesn't know.

My wife knows, and she really likes the name Parker, she just doesn't like telling people where it comes from. Since I got to choose Parker's first name, Angie got to pick our daughter's first name (mark your calendars for her July 21 birth day!), a beautiful but non-comic book inspired Isabella.

Sparkles is almost 4, so she's full grown. But she still acts like a puppy.
She's 3/4 Yellow Lab and 1/4 Golden Retriever. The retriever comes out in her face which is longer and thinner than a labs.

Nate has been showing her for three years. This year he won Best Jr. Showman and a blue for showing. He'd have won Best of Show, but he stacked her facing the wrong way and lost out to the blonde in the blue sweater. The obedience judge was REALLY tough this year (and made a mistake). But he goes to District meet for obedience.

Just various and sundry sports medals. Soccer, football, baseball, etc. Participation, mostly. Though his basebal team won the tri-city championship last year. Now he's pretty much concentrating on swimming. Between it and 4-H and T-ball for the little one it was a busy summer.

Awesome pics.

Awesome names.

My wife knows, and she really likes the name Parker, she just doesn't like telling people where it comes from. Since I got to choose Parker's first name, Angie got to pick our daughter's first name (mark your calendars for her July 21 birth day!), a beautiful but non-comic book inspired Isabella.

Eh, can't win 'em all. She'll still be subjected to it, though. ;)
You can tell people she's named after Tony Isabella!

Nice pics. I see you're taking good care of my kids. KIDDING. PUT DOWN THE AXE, MAN.

My daughter Giselle, who's seven, went the fairy princess route as well. I think I need to buy stock in whoever manufactures those things. They're probably on the Chinese Exchange.

My two-year old son dressed as Thomas the Train. And he derailed and crashed into things more often than Amtrak. (Well, maybe not as often as Amtrak).

Keep the pics coming. I have a feeling I'll make you all diabetics after Christmas when I post mine.

I have the same fear of you fooling around with my wife as I do of a chimpanzee flying a 747. You could both sit in the seat, but neither one of you would have any idea how to operate the controls.

My daughter Giselle, who's seven, went the fairy princess route as well. I think I need to buy stock in whoever manufactures those things. They're probably on the Chinese Exchange.

Sadly, I could not talk my daughter into dressing up as a super-hero this year. In years 1, 2 and 3, we had Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batgirl, but no longer. Damn this "self-awareness" thing!

I would venture to guess that your son wasn't drinking quite as much as the conductors on Amtrack. His dad, on the other hand...

I actually got Heismanned by my daughter on going to the Baltimore ComiCon this year. The previous year, all she could do was stare at the costumes for hours and looked at all the people and toys and stuff. This year, too cool for school. I will get my revenge, though. With the DVD set of Justice League Unlimited and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance on the PS2, I'm slowly bringing her over to the comic book dark side. It's only a matter of time.....

Limited by my technology. Digital phone. I had to give up the digital camera in the divorce. Thanksgiving pictures of my kids stuffing their faces don't meet the cute factor. I could always make a bowl of spaghetti and dump it on my son's head and then snap away. Noone's done that one yet, right?

Here are a couple of pics from Logan's first Halloween

He had no idea what was going on, but was pretty fascinated by the pumpkin and all of the people coming to our door. Sadly, he's in bed at 7:15 so he missed a good chunk of it.

Our pumpkin design was based on Logan's teeth - only 4 of 'em.

I thought I'd post something I'm very proud of. As my wife Morna, friend Lisa and I were gaining national recognition as glass artists in the 90’s we decided to build our own studio, Starfish Glassworks. We managed to scrape up private investors and opened a very public studio and gallery in downtown Victoria. That was in 1997. The gallery is set up and run to make shopping in our store an educational experience. People can watch us and our employees making glass every day and see what goes in to making everything from Christmas ornaments to huge plates with paintings encased in them to solid cast glass sculptural objects. We have a very skilled team of people who enable us to make to make things we couldn't have imagined when we opened 10 years ago. The artists who work for us are given access to the facilities and we have had the privilege of watching them develop their skills and gain recognition in the art world for their art. In the gallery we have displayed works made by over 80 artists from across Canada and do month long features of artist’s finest works. We have done a lot to further the careers of ourselves and dozens of artists but are also getting kind of burned out.

After ten years of running a destination glass gallery and studio we have decided to close at the end of the year and focus exclusively on our individual careers as glass artists. We feel very proud of what we have accomplished but aren't making enough money to continue justifying the amount of energy it takes to hold it all together. The next few months will be very interesting for all of us.

Best of luck to you in the future, Gary. That studio looks amazing.

My wife Kat's aunt lives in Victoria and we've promise to visit her in the no-too-distant future. I've never been to the island, so I'd love to go.

I'll give you a heads up before I head out that way and maybe we can get together for a pint. I'd love to see some of your work, too.

Best of luck, Gary. Keep us apprised of how things are going. I only speak for myself, but I try to support other members of the CBR community by buying their creations and wares when possible. I'd be happy to do the same for you. You look to be quite a gifted creator. So put me on the potential purchase list.

Which reminds me, I need to post pictures of howy's paintings I finally had framed and which are hanging over my bed right now. They're bottles of high-end bourbon and howy did a magnificent job on the commission.

Again, we're all in different spots financially, some good, some not-so-good, but personally I'd rather support a CBR community member if given the chance over someone I've never met. Hope others do the same.

Again, best of luck Gary.

Not a school really. We just use education to create more informed customers. Although we have offered a number of one day introductory workshops in bead making, glass blowing and sand casting. Again, we do that so that the students become more knowledgeable about glass art and hopefully buy more glass from us. One of our greatest accomplishments in this regard is turning our mail man into a full on glass collector because he came into our place and got hooked on watching the process.

You'd better hurry if you want to see the gallery/studio because we are closing our doors at the end of the year. We will stay in Victoria and work in a private environment after that so either way let me know when you are coming and we will share a pint our two. Thanks for the kind words.

You are lucky to own Bret's work. Morna and I spent a few hours at his bar a few weeks ago and saw some of his awesome work up close. I'd be thrilled if you wanted something of mine or Morna's.

Hair gnomes. They come in the middle of the night.

They start with the occasional sock, then move on to underwear, then start pulling hairs out of your melon in clumps. They usually then either deposit it on your back or ass, and leave enough in the bathtub drain to clog it permanently.

I have pictures of those little bastards. The world will find out soon enough.
