Cake And Eat it times two!

Hello Everyone,
Ok so as promised, I am posting pics of my various Birthday shenanigans. To the right here you will see the 1st wonderful chocolate birthday cake that Mom made from scratch for me to take to Daycare. These afternoon celebrations, also know as 'pit parties' are quite common.

 It's quite wonderful to share birthday cake with my peers. Typically they sing and give you birthday 'taps' and count how old you are. Everyone generally gets a loot bag. This year I received a card with the names of all my fellow toddlers in it. A hush came over the pit floor as cake was served.

 

And here I am standing beside cake # 2 a week later. This time we invited a handful of my best friends and their parents to drop by the house for a more intimate snack and cake affair.




It was nice to see new friends from the neighborhood as well as old, established mates too. It was a much more relaxed party then we have previously held.

Well that is it for now. Thanks to all my friends and family who helped me to celebrate my 4th year on planet earth.

Please visit us here in a few days to see out travel pics from Cuba!

HAPPY HAPPY JONAH DAY

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONAH DJANGO

4 years ago today our little sprout came to be on this earth. A new snow had just fallen on our little corner of Toronto and Winter was in a real funny mood. We had a safe but challenging birth and before long we were home, creature in hands. Exhausted.

Though things were shaky at first, we figured it out and our Jonah prospered, developed and thrived. Before long, Mr. Personality had arrived. The rest as the saying goes is his story.

But from the very start, our little Djangy captured our hearts with a presence one can't deny, a gorgeous smile, blue eys, kinda smart, kida sly, curious, kind and a bit shy.  A boy alive!

This is our most precious day, the day we celebrate the birth of our wonderful son, our grandson!


FRANKEL-SELL UPDATES

Over the holidays, Mom decided to go through with her laser eye surgery. The good news is that the procedure was a success and today she boosts a fresh, glass free face and perfect vision.  Great recovery mom and way to go, you look amazing.

Dad is taking up Bohemianism part-time to pay the bills. I took this odd picture of Dad taking a picture of me in his 'office'.

Dad also claims to be attempting a new writing project. H's very hush, hush about it. You can't see it in this picture but he also has a 3 guitars and is getting pretty good at his playing.  He jams with Uncle Marty every Tuesday.

So I'm kind of going crazy for Playmobil stuff.

I've found a lot of it used at the Value Village but we've also been buying Pirates and Knights.  Don't hesitate to donate your used or unwanted  Playmobil toys to the staff at J:D Blog.









And finally, these are my feet. I love my feet. The world needs more random pictures of feet.

(I'm getting into experimental photography too)

Please come back very, very soon as I'll be posting pics from my daycare cake-party, my gift-extravaganza!





J:D Birthday week coverage continues...

ADDRESSING THE BLOG DISRUPTION

Dear faithful readers,

I want to take a moment to apologize to all friends, families and followers of this humble blog. Due to various reasons, we had to take a bit of a hiatus from the blog. However we want to assure you that all of here at JD headquarters are committed to providing you with fresh Jonah-fied content.

Our family has a had a very productive 2010 Holiday Season and New Year and we have begun to compile updates, photos and stories to share with you.

Not to mention, the boy is about to turn 4 years young, so we will have plenty to talk about.

BE PATIENT WITH US !

Our next set of postings will include an update on recent Django developments, a preview of some photos taken by Mr Poopy-pants and full coverage of his majesties birthday proceedings.

See you on Saturday the 26th for the 1st post of 2011.

Puzzle me this

My Nana Emily is always bringing me stuff for art projects. Recently, she brought these blank Puzzles canvases that allow you to create your own personal designs.

Below is another puzzle with an image that looks like a face. I'm not exactly sure what it is as I was drawing in a fit of creative impulse. The other puzzle below is also very abstract. Dad thinks it looks like a family walking in the sunshine.

Art and it's meaning is always in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks Nana as always for contributing to my artistic education.

Budding Artist

Hello again,
As most  of you know, I come from a family of artists and creative types. Luckily, the fruit doesn't fall to far from the Family tree(s) and I'm happy to showcase some of my work on this blog. Beside me is a fairly recent sketch of a face in chalk.

To the left is a sketch of my family.





 
Now I know that almost anyone can take a digital picture but this pic Dad took of Mom and I was a once in a lifetime moment. I love the composition and fluid action fused with the the stillness of my position.

First pics of my folks

Daddy giving peace a chance...

As cute as they can be!

My Space, My pics

Hello Everybody,

My parents recently got a new digital camera and so they decided to give me the old one. I decided to take some pics the other day and Dad agreed to post them on the blog. No cuss, these are honest to goodness pictures taken by moi.




'Lego Land'

And here is my Tv set. What is most remarkable is that I managed to capture a animated Elephant in the photo too!

And this, believe it or not is my very first chalk drawing that actually looks like something. Pretty nifty huh?

I call it, "Angry Daddy"
