Finally

So, I am now officially a student at The University of Edinburgh. I have registered, and in a couple of hours I am about to select my final courses. Earlier today i signed up with the university's running club and now I am sitting in the Philosophy and Psychology Library in the Psychology building on campus. I have run past this building several times in the past (on my legendary 5 AM runs. (I say legendary - I'm not sure anyone else agrees with that, but as long as no one disagrees - that's how they stay labeled!)), but never dared to assume that I would actually be on the inside, reeking havoc.

On another note: Sean is about to lose his second baby tooth, and is already planning to spend the money it will bring on Nessie-merchandise. for some reason he is really in to the Loch Ness monster at the moment.

Birthday Boy

Here are some pictures from Sean's long awaited sixth birthday.

 

Riding the bus in the morning.

 

Enjoying a birthday brownie at his favourite restaurant.

 

Fika with the new dragon at the local chocolatier's.

Present-opening time!

 

 

Sean & I

Some pictures of what the lad and I have been up to lately.

 

We've been to the doctor to get vaccinations and bravery-stickers.

 

 

 

We have been to cool out-doors art exhibitions.
 



... and not so interesting in-doors impressionism showings

Bear In Blue Chair

Sometimes when you go from the kitchen to the hall, something like this will be waiting to get your attention.

 

 

A pimp looking, medal wearing, ball holding, teddy bear with a dinosaur for a pirate's parrot, a flash cape and just the right amount reflective ankle tape.

 

The Boy With a Spinosaurus In His Side

I snapped this picture while Sean and I walked through the collegiate part of town on the way home from school last Friday. I think it looks like a The Smiths album.

 

 

Boy on Bus

Sean, Spiner and their water bottle.

Sean (wearing the baseball cap he annexed from his old man) and Spiner.

Sean outside British Home Stores, which by-the-way has gone under...

Best in Class

This is Sean enjoying a treat after being named "Star of the day" in school the other day. That's right - academic achivements means sweets!

New Discoveries

In the last couple of days, Sean has discovered:

 

How to get out of walking.

 

The wholesome wonder of Chocolate ice cream.

 

That him and his old man really are to cool for school.

 

Sean the Welder

Mix-Pics

Here are some new pictures of the boy.

Coolest author-hair ever.

New Year - New pics

As I sit here, entering data, I thought I'd update the old picture bank. Enjoy:

 

Ready to play some footie.

Poking holes in the ice.

A snow dog.

Throwing snowballs.

Playing in the woods.

Myself fixing the roof after a storm.

A highly respectable Star Wars-collection.

 

Bubbles!

Sean and I being a pair of bubble-popping goofy goobers.

 

Coming up with a game plan

"Gotta catch 'em all"

It's awesome being four!

Into the wild!

Also, here the two of us are on a walk in the woods. We found some wild strawberries, but as Sean was convinced they were unripe strawbwerries I got to eat them all.

Watching the river flow.

Picking berries...

and leaves.

Relaxing after a long walk.
