Duncan Birthday #2
July 20, 2014 by Adam in Duncan
Duncan had his second birthday this morning. He and Joanna ran off to Voodoo Doughnuts and returned to supplement breakfast with their ill gotten booty. Duncan was extremely excited to blow out his birthday doughnut and open everyone's presents.
Later tonight he's having a friend over for pizza and science shows. His final birthday event involves flying across the country to party with the east coast crowd. What a lucky boy.

Splash Birthday
July 13, 2014 by Adam in Duncan
Duncan had his first birthday party with his friends at Splash yesterday. It was a pretty good crowd, with everyone swimming, chatting, and eating cake. Joanna made an elaborate Pokemon cake, which everyone was impressed with. Duncan ended up with a huge number of Pokemon cards, expanding his collection even more.
Next weekend is his official birthday, where we'll have a party for him, my mom, and myself. He's got another planned with his dad in Rochester when he arrives the weekend after that. Birthdays tend to be long, drawn-out affairs, which I think the kids are completely okay with. More presents.

. . . And All I Got Was This Stupid T-Shirt
March 18, 2014 by Adam in Duncan
 Actually the t-shirts were awesome. Duncan's team thought it up, Emma drew it, the team colored them, and Joanna turned them into t-shirts. Monday morning Duncan and his fellow book battlers boarded a bus to Lebanon. They answered questions about their books, ate weird food out of vending machines, and nearly went to the next level of competition. Apparently they won 2/3rds of their battles, which wasn't quite enough.
It was a great experience, Duncan expanded his reading repertoire, and they got cool shirts at the end.

To Battle!
March 13, 2014 by Adam in Duncan
 Duncan has been doing Battle of the Books at his school this week. He's an avid reader, often burning through several books each week. In years past, he's enjoyed Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, and Pokemon. Lately he's gotten into chapter books, and this latest challenge has really motivated him to expand his horizons.
Apparently Duncan's team is now in second place in the school. I think that means he goes to the state competition. Joanna has promised t-shirts for the team, and Emma might be doing the art for it. It's pokemon/reptile/reading themed, so her artistic skills will certainly be challenged.
We're all very proud of him.
