Happy Halloween. Tonight we went trick or treating with Jose, Crystal and Jazmin. Jazmin went as a Night Fairy and Parker Anne as a Ballerina. Nice shoes eh? As a first timer, she did pretty well. Instead of carrying a bag though, we had her carry candy in her hands. By the end of the night it was all liquid chocolate. At least it was packaged. After staying out well after bedtime we eventually made it back home just in time before a rain band from deadly Tropical Storm Noel. You can tell she was quite pooped. By the way (a shameless plug) if you like Parker Anne's costume, my sister sells them at The Dance Studio. Told you it was shameless! Good night all. Thought it cool to make this entry on Halloween. (oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

A great deal has been happening lately; Disney trip, Tennessee trip, Ft Lauderdale trip, Fantasy Fest, Children's Day, A Day to Remember, Ballroom Dancing lessons, Cuzzie Jessica's Wedding and what was that other thing?????????... that's right, Parker is walking. See for yourself.

More updates are on the way, so check back soon!

Click on the video link in the column for Parker Anne's latest video. Only then will you see who has decided to get up and walk on her own. Well, at least not with someone holding her hand. Guess it won't be long now until she is walking on her own. Maybe she can help me mow the lawn for real? The video below is a shorter version.

This past weekend the little ones made a trip to Bayview Park. To mark this occasion, we brought the "Mars Rover" stroller. That's the one pictured on the left. I call it the "Mars Rover" only because it looks like something that NASA would use. The stroller was the hit of the festival. Every kid wanted to sit in it and every parent wanted one, just kidding. The babies liked it, being able to take things away from one another. We are actually thinking of creating a pulling harness to make it easier to pull.

Afterwards, we headed to the playground area and as you can see enjoyed making faces through the bubble and using the slide.

This past Friday the 24th, I took Parker Anne and Julie to their first Key West High School football game. To commemorate the occasion, Julie took a picture of Parker and I with our friend and fellow Conch George Galvan. I am happy to say that Parker and Julie enjoyed themselves. I took Julie up to the press box area to see many Conch Alumni. Unfortunately, the Conchs lost the game 50 to 0. They played a 6A powerhouse from Fort Lauderdale. We had a great time and can't wait for the next home game. As a matter of fact, Julie even suggested we should go to an away game! Yeah right!

Today was the start of our much anticipated holiday. The day started out with bad croissants and continued from that point. After arriving at Miami International Airport 2 hours ahead of our flight, we sat down in concourse H waiting for the 1:20pm boarding call. When the plane hadn't showed up by 1:30pm I began to think something was not right. Our flight was scheduled to depart at 1:50pm. We were finally boarded and pulled away at 2:15 and proceded to sit on the runway, in position one for the next THREE hours! We pulled back into the concourse and began to offload passengers who wanted off. We wanted off as all of our flights were now canceled. I don't want to carry on too much more, but need to conclude by saying that tomorrow is another day and we have a change of clothes. The picture you see is one of Julie and Parker sitting while I was standing in line for over an hour attempting to rebook our flight. Cest La Vie!

Today we celebrated the 4th of July. Parker Anne and Julie joined me at work for hot dogs and hamburgers and of course some mint chip ice cream. The girls' favorite! After work we went to Jose and Crystal's place for swimming and yes, more hot dogs and hamburgers. Watching my caloric intact, I did not eat any hot dog buns. Make sure you check out the pictures at www.dropshots.com/aboutcjp. Happy Fourth of July to everyone!

Celebrated Parker Anne's 1st birthday yesterday. The day started out a little rough for the little lady. Two hours before the event she became sick and extremely tired. Like the champ she is though, an hour into the party she was laughing, smiling and as you can tell enjoying her Key Lime Cupcake and mint chip ice cream. Make sure you check out her birthday videos at www.dropshots.com/aboutcjp. I will post more photos later.

As I said in the last update, we visited the Grandparents at Fort Lauderdale Beach and attended the Air & Sea Show. This was very exciting for all us, although Parker slept through most of it. (Kind of like Gregory at a Michael Jackson concert). Anyhow, the Thunderbirds put on a display as well as several other multi million dollar jets. I think the least expensive was around 18.7 million. The most expensive was the B2 Stealth Bomber. This was also the coolest air craft at the air show.

Gotta go, just about time to head to work. Have a good day. Remember this about the military jets in conflict, "once you hear them it is too late".

We're back! After a little delay due to network configurations, poor reception quality and overall play. Hopefully I will be able to update regularly now. We have spent the last three weekends at Grandma Karen and Grandpa Nick's Fort Lauderdale Beach condo and as you can tell, a fair amount of time at the beach. So much in fact, Parker Anne is turning into a sand monster. Only moments later her entire face would be covered. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture. Felt it was better to get the sand off. Anyhow, I will be adding more beach photos later including ones from the Fort Lauderdale Air & Sea Show.

As you may have guessed, this was Parker Anne's Easter outfit. Her very first Easter. She was really enjoying the bunny ears provided by mommy.

On the day before Easter, Parker made a trip to the beach in Fort Lauderdale with Grandpa Nick, Grandma Karen, mom and dad. Believe you me, she loves the beach. So much, that she began to eat fistful portions until we were able to supply her with one of her chew toys. Yum!

Well, here I am one day after my grandpa Greg's 60th Birthday Bash on St. Patrick's Day. What a party!

Sweet bath huh? Parker was totally digging Grandma Karen's kitchen sink on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Parker no longer wants to be in a lounger. Afterall, lounger tubs are for babies. Not seven month old ladies.

Check me out! All I need now is for mommy and daddy to finally put the boat in the water. Perhaps Next Saturday!

Yes, that's right. That is Parker Anne and I passing through the Presidential Gates in Key West. For those you who are not familiar with these gates, I''ll fill you in. First of all the gates are circa 1906. Up until the last ten years or so they were only to be opened for visiting U.S. Presidents. The last was Kennedy in 1962, when he came to Key West during the Cuban Missile Crisis. In recent years they have been opened for Secretary of State Colin Powell while he was in Key West holding peace talks. Those of you who were at Julie and mines wedding might remember the Little White House was on lockdown up until 45 minutes to the start of our wedding ceremony. Our guests almost had to pass through metal detectors in order to participate. I had actually hoped Colin Powell would have stuck around for the wedding. Anyway, back to the gates. On this Sunday morning in late January 2007 (notice the shorts for all you northerners), Julie, Parker and I were out for our morning breakfast and walk. Wouldn't you know the luck, the gates were open. Being opportunistic I had Julie take several shots. I don't know why people were walking by, wondering what we were doing. Perhaps they didn't know the history behind these gates. I'm sure some of you are quite bored of this by now, heck most haven't even probably read this far. For those of you who have though congratulations, maybe with a little luck they'll be open for you when you come to visit.

On Sunday the 28th, the Key West Curry Clan headed to Sears for pictures of the babies. Here is one of the best. More to come soon.

Here we have Parker sitting in her brand new copilot bicycle seat. Her cuzzie Alan spared no expense on this seat and boy as you can tell from that smile she loves it! I don't know how happy she will always be to be that close, but Julie never seems to care. We will get her a helmet and then we are off to the races. Beep, Beep.

Pictured here we see Parker Anne touching a horseshoe crab for the first time. Pay no attention to the guy wearing the fluffy shirt. While I was hard at work on 1/15/07, Julie and Parker stopped by to bring me lunch. After lunch the three of us took a stroll through the Key West Aquarium showing Parker the first place we met. While she thought that to be a cool story, Parker showed a greater interest in the horseshoe crab. As you can see, she was pointing out the location of the primary set of eyes. Or more specifically, covering one of the eyes. Anyhow, enjoy the photo.

After breakfast at Banana Cafe, our favorite french restautant, Julie, Parker and I took a short stroll down Duval Street and over to the Southernmost Point on Sunday. Parker's first trip to the Southernmost Point!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are still here. Have been very busy; what with work, my MGB, the boat, the house, traveling, ohh I almost forgot, Parker Anne. How silly of me. Parker is now 6.5 months old and full of life. I have attached a photo of Parker Anne wearing Julie's now lost pair of Versace sunglasses. The next pair will be faux-sace's. Anyhow, will be updating more soon.
