Christmas with Grandpa Jim and family

'round n about in December

Thanksgiving 2007

Had a lovely, laid-back Turkey Day with Grandma Candy and Grandpa Mike. Dinner was so yummy! Rowan was up to his usual hi-jinks and Callisto is crawling and getting into EVERYTHING! She seems impatient with crawling and is doing all she can to get herself to walk upright. Look out, world!

Pumpkin Fun!

Granny Gail was up for a visit in late October. We all carved pumpkins and ate good food.

Happy Fall...

Visiting Auntie Tracy

Gail was up for a visit this past weekend and so the gang decided to come on down to see the exhibit that I put up in my library. Rowan really enjoyed it, if he wanted to spend more time in the meeting room, drawing on the whiteboards than looking at the stars. But he had lots of questions about the telescope and really dug tracking it on the computer as it crossed over Asia and came across the US. They also got to see some of the new sciences building with its pendulum, giant table of elements, timeline of the Earth, many kinds of rocks with fossils and the fertilization of an egg and its transformation from zygote into tadpole.

We then came over to my apartment for a little visit. Rowan had many mad experiments with mixing different flavored spritzers and water. He really wanted to see Loki, but things were too crazy for the old man to show his face. In all, a very pleasant day!

Happy Fall!

Pixies and Rain

PixiesOct2007

Rain was the theme for our latest meeting. We got to be a drop of water in the ocean, going up to the clouds, down to the Earth, into the streams and rivers and back to the ocean. Songs and music were a big part of the day.

Out for the Fall

What could be better than brunch and then a train ride in the the orchard?

60 Second Science

Rowan and I ventured out to Rochester together for the 60 Second Science Fair and had a BLAST!! Due to a snafu in communicaitons, we didn't get to meet up with Kolby, but hopefully we'll get to see "Bob the Builder" at Strong with him in a couple of weeks...

Callisto on the Kazooooooooo

Mmmmmm! Squash!

Shameless plug

OK. Most of y'all probably already know about this and have listened to me whine incessantly about it over the past 6 months. But for the one of you who has NOT yet heard about my latest gig at work, I'd like to share with you:

http://heavensabove.geneseo.edu/index.htm
This is the exhibit that I have (with help!) mounted in our Library. We've still got lots of events in store, so if anything piques your interest and you feel like making a trip.. let me know you're coming! I know that I am going to be there...

We've got more events in the works, mostly informal and geared toward the students. I am going to attempt to stay on top of it all and keep you informed. Enjoy!

September Afternoon

I spent the afternoon over at Autumn House just before they packed up for their trip South. We were trying for a video of Callisto.. she plays the kazoo! Unfortunately, every time I point the camera her way, she either wants the camera (who does that sound like? ) or she stops whatever she's doing and cries! The one time I had a shot at it, Rowan decided that he wanted to take a movie. So we got a little bit of it and if I can find the time, I will get that uploaded for all to see.

For now, enjoy the photos:

Pixies Learn about Water

PixieWaterSept2007

We gathered and spent an afternoon at Oatka Creek over the weekend to spend some time with Water. Sean found an awesome fossil. We all saw crayfish, water spiders, minnows, and algae. A hunter has established a lookout near where we sat and Rowan was uber-excited to get to climb all the way up. After a fun afternoon of trying to avoid all the poison ivy, we returned to Autumn House for a Harvest meal. YUM!

Hanging out with the Dalys....

Technical difficulties

Howdy Folks,

I seem to be in a battle with YouTube and YT is winning. I can't get a couple of the videos to transfer over to their servers and I can't figure out why.

So please be patient. The videos are coming, but I will be going out of town for work in a few days, so that will delay things a bit as well. Just keep checking back and eventually, they will all get there.

Your (busy) content provider!

Summertime Fun!

WaterFightJuly2007

These are the only 2 pictures that I have of all the fun Rowan and Kolby had with their waterfight. We started with waterballoons, but they ran through them faster than I could make them so we resorted to cups and a big vat of water.

I took a movie (or thought I did) of them actually playing, but apparently I turned it ON when I finished that movie and now I have 8 minutes of a bottle of bubbles and soda with the soundtrack of the boys getting ME with the water! Some of it is kinda funny and if I can figure out how to edit it, I will post that part. Just don't hold your breath, ok?

Too Long Ignored

Hello Friends,

I'm sure you've noticed my lack of posting to Rowan's website. But I've at least been able to do some occasional updates with web albums! So I am changing my ways and trying to streamline some of the process to make it easiest for folks to get to the content.

So! Welcome to the new blog to keep up on Rowan as well as his little sister, Callisto!! All you have to do is bookmark the URL address:

http://dalyhappenings.blogspot.com/

Now you'll have quick access to the albums and whatever video I have available!

Plus, you will also notice at the bottom of each post, there is a place where you can leave comments! This means that you can ask me questions - or one another, for that matter! And just show your all-around pride in these beautiful kids.

It's going to take me a little bit of time to get some of the older pictures up, and then I need to attempt some kind of order ... but bear with me if I don't get to it right away. It's taken me weeks and weeks just to get THIS done!

Let me know if you have any questions...
love, Tracy

Rowan sings!

On our way to see Thomas, Rowan began scatting along...
