Teo's Birthday Dinner: Katsu Seafood & Steak House

Second year in a row that Teo has picked Katsu for his birthday dinner.  That's Troy in the green and Teo in the red.

Happy birthday Teo!

Teo's Birthday Party

 We had Teo's birthday party this month!

He is now 6 years old.

 The cake!

And Chuck himself!  He has always been one of Teo's favorites.  When Teo was about 3 or 4, he would sit on my lap at the computer and have me find Chuck E. Cheese videos on Youtube so he could watch them over and over.  In fact, that's how he learned to use the computer!

Farmer Teo

Teo down on the farm.  Or more accurately, back behind his school.  Those are radishes he's growing.  We think.

Mateo at 6 Months

 Mateo at his house, at 6.5 months old. We had just taken him outside, so the sun is making him squint a bit.

Troy and Mateo (5 months old)

We went over to David and Lucy's and took these pictures of the kids. Here is Mateo at 5 months old.

His personality is really starting to come out! This is also the first time we have watched him sitting up without assistance.




Troy had just come down with a cold that day - he was not feeling well at all, you can see it in his eyes. But he tried hard to be cheerful and full of energy while we were there. He even ate pretty well, which is good. He needs the energy to get better.

Troy and his tent.

Mateo at 4 months

 Mateo at 4 months old.

Trying to stay awake as long as he can.

 Gone!

He really enjoys his walker now.

Troy misses the walker.  It was his two years ago.  When we had it in the storage room, he would shimmy his way through the junk (uh, stored items) to get to the walker so he could play with the bears.

Mateo at 2 months

 Mateo smiling at his dad.

 In my wife's arms.

Mateo and Troy

 We visited the newborn Mateo at his parent's place a couple weeks ago. Here are some of the photos. That's Troy beaming over the sight of his new baby brother.
