January Events Calendar

So we soldier on with our commitment to bring you all up to date. A sneak-peak into Mudzuks and Vecais' January social calendar reveals the following:

NEW YEAR' S EVE: Vecais, otherwise known as Monkey Man (and formerly known as Darwin - named after those infamous Darwin awards whereby people off themselves in the course of doing incredibly stupid things hence cleaning out the gene pool for the rest of us), seems to have perfected the fine balance between thrill seeking and courting grievous self-inflicted bodily harm. Not only is he oblivious to Mamuks and Papuks' attempts to dissuade him, but he in fact seems to sheepishly beg the attention. Check out the background of these pics:

JANUARY 1: So Mamuks has this theory that whatever you do on New Year' s Day will be a microcosm for the rest of your year (hence one should make attempts to avoid lying in bed all day - or worse, having a very long conversation on the porcelain phone...). So we got to spend the day goofing around at home, hanging out in the glorious sunny fresh air, bike and going to the play barn (yes, hello Canadian winter) with good friends and having a massive dinner with all the aunts and other family. (Hangover be damned!) Sounds like a good year awaits!

(someone seems to be annoyed that someone else is grabbing the spotlight...)

(and why shouldn't he be chuffed - he managed to grow an inch taller in a mere two weeks!)

JANUARY 9: Mudzuks begins swimming lessons. Every day since Mudzuks has begun swimming lessons, she asks "When do I have swimming lessons again? Tonight? Please!?!"


JANURARY 13: Papuks becomes an architect! Or, at least somebody who' s going to be allowed to become an architect after approximately two years of cad-monkeying for slave wages! Yay! We love you, Papuks!

Mudzuks and Vecais celebrate with a toddler version of that old favourite Latvian party game, "Dogpile" (with the help of their grandparents)

JANUARY 15: Winter finally arrives! (In the form of a gloriously, earth-shatteringly beautiful ice storm. Mudzuks should rest assured she was named after something so rare and exquisite for a very good reason...)
