First Cache with Joseph

Yesterday we took advantage of the warm fall weather and went for a little walk in the Bruderholz area.  It was the first time in 364 days we went geocaching, as I later saw in my caching log – the last one was Hallowe’en last year with a pre-engagement Phil and Ana and a barely pregnant Janet.  The cache we picked was the “Chäppeligraben” cache, which takes the cacher down a wooded gully which was decked out in the whole palette of fall colors.  Joseph spent some time sleeping in the wrap, most of the time in the gully looking at the leaves and the sky, and most of the way home complaining – whether because of the wind, the wrap, or the wet diaper we will never know.  The cache itself is easily the cleverest I have seen so far (of eight…) and worth the challenge if you’re in the Basel area.

Today we dressed Joseph in his Virginia Tech Hokies onesie, and have photos to prove it.  As always, if you’ve forgotten the login, or don’t know it, write me.

The camera’s fixed!

One of the benefits of working for Nanosurf is the easy access to fiddly tools and clever people.  With Lukas’s help, we bent back the CF card pin that had somehow been bent down.  It looks like it has scoliosis, but it works!

So, to celebrate, there are more pictures of Joseph up.  If you’ve forgotten the password, or don’t know it, ask me.

Videos up to 10.10.10.

We are starting to go a little crazy with the video camera, which means a lot of videos to choose from and a lot of hard disk space used up. Here are my favorites from the last few weeks.


The heartwarming sight I wake up to every so often. (0:18)

Janet showed me this video and suggested we sign Joseph up for the circus. (0:58)


Naked happy baby. (1:19)


Joseph is becoming quite talkative (locootious?), especially when he plays with his beach ball. (0:41)


Another one of Joseph soliloquizing away. (0:46)


Laughing with Joseph. These moments make my day!

My SLR camera is currently broken, which means you’ll be getting proportionately more videos!
