Lake Life 2020

I am quite behind on posting any updates here and i apologize. So i won’t bore you much with my words and just get right to the posting…..

Here is a compilation video of our time at the lake this year, we didn’t get as much time out there as we expected this year but we still made the best of it.

UPDATE: I now realize the video was far too long, no one was gonna watch a 12-minute video of us on the lake. It’s now been condensed to 3 1/2 mins.

Christmas 2019

This was Isabella’s first Christmas, she was only 3 months but it was still very special. Some people say “oh don’t buy her anything, she is too young she won’t remember” and to this, I say “Hogwash!” It’s her first Christmas, its special and she will be getting gifts and let me tell you, even though she won’t remember this she still had a great time. She opened presents the best she could, she loved the wrapping paper and the sound it makes, she loved the lights and all the guests and attention she got. She had a great time and we had a great time watching her have a great time.

We also took her to the enchanted village which my mom has been taking us to since we were kids, its a tradition that I was very happy to share with her and again, she may not remember her first time going to the Enchanted Village but she has a great time looking at all the lights and animatronics. It’s always a long day with a newborn and making bottles and changing them all while out in public and it can be tough but I love taking her to do these special things. Its only Christmas once a year and she is only any age once, so live it up I say. Spoil her! I almost forgot we also took her to Edaville Railroad on the coldest day of the year, again i beleive she had a good time and we had her all snuggles up in the baby carrier getting all our body heat but if i could do it again, id go on a warmer day.

Taking pictures and making memories we can share with her when she gets older is what it’s all about.

Please check out the video above to see some highlights from this year’s Christmas activities.

Welcome to the World

The first few days of my baby girl’s life in pictures. She is only a month old and I already look back on her first pictures and miss her being that little baby. She is still a baby and will be a baby for a while but life really does move too fast, you just don’t notice until your baby comes along.

I love you very much baby girl.

Family Boat Day

So despite being a crazy summer getting ready for baby and what not we did manage to get out on the boat/lake a few times. The boat ran great after have to replace the starter which was a nightmare since the place I gt it from order the wrong starter multiple times, what should have been fixed in 2 days took a week.

In the end we got it replaced and had some good times on the lake this season, sadly, it’s about time to winterize the boat and put her to bed.

What I’m Playing – Episode 9

Game: Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping Dogs is an open environment action game set in the crime world of the Hong Kong Triads. The protagonist controlled by the player is Wei Shen, a Chinese-American police officer who returns to the Hong Kong neighbourhood of his youth to infiltrate the Triad organization Sun On Yee. In the opening scenes he quickly hooks up again with his old friend Jackie Ma who introduces him to the Triad boss Winston Chu. Even though many characters still remember Shen from long ago, he has to work his way back up. The main storyline has him perform various missions for the organization, starting with simple extortion quests with the local merchants. These quests have to be followed to make available new missions and open up new parts of the city, but a role-playing element allows Shen to choose his own path. Three types of experience points can be earned: Triad, Cop and Face. The first two determine Shen’s devotion to either the Triad or the police respectively, based on his actions. The third is an overall experience system that determines Shen global reputation. Leveling up opens up new upgrades through a skill tree system. Players are free to leave the story behind and explore the city at their own leisure.

The Snow Day

It’s been so long since I made a video, one of my favorite past times. Today is a snow day, the “im not going anywhere today” kind of day. I deciced i would take Heidi out to play in the snow and take out the ol’ GoPro.

I also wanted to try video editing on the Mac using iMovie so that’s how this little video was made. I cant take to much credit as the sofware has a ‘Trailer” mode which makes it really easy to put together this video and present it like a real trailer. I think it came out good for what it is.
