Going back in time a bit. Here's a beautiful photograph of Claire and Eoin with baby Connor in a sling. We were visiting the newly opened Columbus Circle Shopping Center on the south west corner of Central Park.
Once upon a time there were two scarecrows. They lived in a big city and they lived with their mother. And they went to have a picnic on the beach today. And then they went back home.
And the next day they woke up and one of the scarecrow's birthday was today and they had some cake and cupcakes. And then they went to sleep.
And the next day they woke up and they went to a princess' castle. And at the castle there was a big giant that was nice. So they went out of the castle and buyed a new house. And they went in a truck.
Here's one of Eoin's little stories as dictated to one of his teachers at nursery school and received by us today.
Once there was a sorcerer. He was still asleep. Then he woke up. And he stretched as high as he could in the air. And then the turtle was still asleep. And then he woke up too. While he was sleeping he had an accident. And then the turtle went outside to get a bag and put the accident in the bag. And he throwed it into the trash chute.
This is to be our new blog. We will endeavour to keep family and friends up to date on our activities. We will write a little, show photos and even some films about where we live and what we do. We will also show you some of Eoin's and Connor's art work and when they are ready, they too will post here directly. This project will, I hope, be long term.
Now, I'd like to start all this off with a little film that Eoin and I made. Some of you have already seen it but this version is in a form that any modern browser should be able to display.
Right now Claire and the boys are at the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx while I finish some work and get this started.
