A day in our life...: May 2011
http://brydur.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
A day in our life. Monday, May 16, 2011. Another trip to the Orthopedic Surgeon…. It’s that time of year! 160; Spring has sprung. Trees have leaves. Grass needs to be mowed. Allergies are in full swing. All of that can only mean one thing. Mike is 18 months old! And THAT means that it’s time to make a trip to see our favorite Orthopedic Surgeon for a club foot prognosis and update! We had our usual anxiety with this appointment. But we were relieved that Mike has done so well walking! Dr Crawford:&#...

A day in our life...: June 2011
http://brydur.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A day in our life. Thursday, June 30, 2011. What happened to June? Boy it sure has been a while since I posted something! 160; So much has happened that I’d never be able to put it in one post. And I’ll never get caught up if I put it all in separate posts. So I’ll give you the highlights for June. First of all, Mike, “the Mom”, and “the Dad” got to spend an unusually large amount of time together! 160; Why – we enjoyed being a family! And here’s the where the whirlwind highlights begins…. 160; He was ...

A day in our life...: November 2011
http://brydur.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A day in our life. Tuesday, November 15, 2011. The Great Pumpkin Metric. Ahhh – the Great Pumpkin Metric. A sure sign that fall has arrived! 160; This is not to be confused with “The Great Pumpkin” made famous by Charles Schulz. Nope – this is a bike (pedal – not motor) ride in Evansville Indiana. We’ve ridden it in the past. We’ve ridden the 100K route several times. We’ve ridden the 50K route a time or two. But we had never ridden the 25K route. The morning of the ride was exceptionally nice!

A day in our life...: January 2012

A day in our life. Thursday, January 19, 2012. What are you doing in Indianapolis? A lot of people by now have noticed that “the dad” has been spending a rather large amount of time in Indianapolis for the last three months. So – what HAS he been doing in Indianapolis? The short answer is “working on improvements to the Verizon Wireless network for the Super Bowl”. To read the article – just click here. Wednesday, January 18, 2012. The logic of a two year old…. But it’s funny none-the-less! Obviously, t...

A day in our life...: February 2012
http://brydur.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
A day in our life. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Fall’s first fickle breeze. November. Fall has arrived for real – even in Knoxville. The leaves have finished their show of blazing colors. And now they lay all brown and lifeless all over the backyard. It is far from “quick and easy” – and ‘The Dad’ will take the help of anyone who volunteers – no matter how old (or young) they are…. 160; do we have to move ALL of these leaves? 160; This is hard work! And to get around all of those “child labor la...

A day in our life...: A Trip to Lowes
http://brydur.blogspot.com/2011/07/trip-to-lowes.html
A day in our life. Monday, July 11, 2011. A Trip to Lowes. 160; And THAT! 160; Would you look at THAT! You might think that this is a “learned” behavior. I do it because I saw my dad do it and he saw his dad do it. And so on and so on. Throughout the history of hardware stores. But I’m here to tell you that this behavior is at least partially genetic. And here is why I think so…. 160; He was 100% on his own…. 8220;That’s right Mike! 160; And how does a tractor sound? 160; Before we left, I asked Mike...

A day in our life. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. This past weekend – JCPenny’s was having a white sale. And we have been needing some new pillows for our bed. And there you have it – supply meets demand…. After a good chuckle (19 months! 160; Where do they get this stuff! 8220;The Dad” looked at Mike and asked, “Hey buddy – is this the one you like? With all of the seriousness of a jury handing down a verdict – Mike looked up and answered “Yep”…. 8220;This is the bed that I liked the best! 160; Color Train!

A day in our life...: The Color Train
http://brydur.blogspot.com/2011/07/color-train.html
A day in our life. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. I’m sure that many of you have never heard of the book “The Color Train. A First Book of Colors”. As a matter of fact – you can’t even find out anything about it from Google. And if it’s not in Google, then it doesn’t exist! Except this book does exist. I have a copy of it sitting right here next to me! And right now – it’s Mike’s favorite story! 160; Color Train! 8221; You can’t help but to smile along with him…. And it was chugging around the mall!

A day in our life...: Happy Halloween
http://brydur.blogspot.com/2012/02/happy-halloween.html
A day in our life. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Ahhhh – Halloween with a nearly two-year old. A time when you can still dress them up in cute little costumes – but also when they are a little more opinionated about it. This year – we decided to dress Mike up as a skunk. After all – aren’t all two-year-old boys really skunks at heart? 160; And we found this adorable “'Lil Stinker” costume. It was fabulous! Or at least we thought so! 8220;You want me to wear WHAT? 8220;Skunks are such regal animals!

A day in our life...: The first step towards potty training…
http://brydur.blogspot.com/2011/08/first-step-towards-potty-training.html
A day in our life. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. The first step towards potty training…. We’ve never been ones to rush Mike’s development. Well – except for the walking. But I’m guessing that everyone who might be parents to a child with clubbed feet would be at least a little anxious about that…. But as for everything else, we’ve completely taken the attitude of “it’ll happen when it happens” and we simply enjoy the current moment rather than trying to usher in the next. One of the clues we had that Mike...
