Nate Cheers on Chelsea


Nate celebrated his 11 months on this earth yesterday by watching Chelsea in the European Cup final with his Grandpa Jerr. While grandpa put back his beer and popcorn, Nate munched on Baby Mum Mums and milk. When times were tense and Grandpa Jerr lost his cool - so did Nate. When Grandpa Jerr screamed with excitement - so did Nate. (Although it could also have been the 7th tool that is pushing through the gumline.) When the penalty shoot-out was over, tears were shed from both young and old but at least we can look forward to bringing home the Cup when Nate is on the team in the year 2024.

Nate Takes Extended Mother's Day Trip





Wee Nathaniel showered his mother with two packages this Mother's Day - a lovely pink iPod Nano and a not-so-lovely stinky diaper first thing on Sunday morning. Mommy prefers the pink gift over the brown one! Mother and son took another trip up north to the country estate to spend the holiday with grandma Mary Anne and great-grandma Glenora while Daddy was back in the Czech Republic. While up in Owen Sound, Nate had a passionate but very brief affair with Aleda from down the street and partied it up at the Rocky Racoon for Sunday dinner where he sampled his first chick-pea salad. Nate also enjoyed a country-style breakfast at the Leith General where he cozied up with Grandpa Andy (see first photo). Also pictured here is mommy with her 'fake husband' Uncle Bob who took over the domestic duties nicely this week for Anthony, carrying the diaper bag, going for lunch and running other errands across town.

Nate Locked Up After CUI


Another young IT boy has found himself behind bars. Nate-dog has been locked up behind the dreaded baby gates after being spotted Crawling Under the Influence (of milk of course) and causing sheer havoc at 30 Church. His parents felt it was the right thing to do before serious tragedy struck. They certainly didn't want a repeat of mommy's historic fall down the hardwood stairs in 1976 which has enlisted countless head injury jokes over the past 32 years. So far Nate has taken the blockades in stride, save for a few moments of angry bar shaking.
