Photos: Casey at the Playground

Just some pics of Casey from the playground in our community.

Happy Halloween 2011

I love Halloween, and am a bit bummed that Casey’s not going to get to experience it while we live in Haikou. As a bit of fun, I decided to dress the three of us up “digitally”. Happy Halloween!

Getting Canadian Citizenship in China

When we first started the process of getting Casey his Canadian citizenship here in China, I had intended to write a post about the experience. The long delay between the application and us actually picking the thing up left the post in permanent “draft” mode until I received the following comment from Cam in Xi’an yesterday:

Canada Day 2011

It’s easy to flip back through photos of Casey and see how much he’s grown over the last year, but it really hits me when I have a direct date to compare to. Last year I took this photo of Casey with a little Canadian flag I have here. He’s just so much bigger now: …

Family Portrait 2011

I recently put together a little photo book keepsake for ourselves and our family highlighting some of the many, many, many photos I’ve taken of Casey over the course of his first year. I realized when putting it together that while I had a lot of photos of Casey and a solid number of photos …

Way better than a tie

Casey’s been teetering on toddling for a couple months now, but only just this week did he find his legs and really go for it — and let me say, watching my son walk is a hell of a Father’s Day gift.

On YouTube as well.

Casey’s 1st Birthday

I did all my jawing about being a dad for 365 mostly-wonderful days last post, but would be failing in my fatherly rights of overly saturating this blog with pictures of my son if I didn’t post these photos: We ended up dividing Casey’s first birthday celebrations into two. For his actual birthday we hit …

Father of the Year

Me and CaseyShortly after noon tomorrow I will have been a father for one year. Yep, Casey’s already one year old!

I can hardly believe that we’ve hit his first birthday already. Oddly, at the same time, it feels like a century ago I was in that hospital room marveling at his wrinkly hands and unpracticed cries. Most amazingly of all, we’ve made it through 365 days of parenting and still have a healthy little boy to show for it.

Trip to Haikou’s Holiday Beach

We’ve had awesome weather here in Haikou for much of the last two weeks — in stark contrast to the cold and rain of our first week on the island. Not wanting to push our luck though, Maggie and I decided that we’d play hooky from the massive amount of stuff we still need to …

Casey Photos: Bedtimes and Toy Boxes

Here are a few recent photos of Casey I’ve been meaning to post but just never seem to find the time. The little guy is growing so fast. He’s got two teeth now and has started to show signs of wanting to walk. He doesn’t have the balance yet to attempt it himself but he …
