Father’s Day

Randella — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 18:15:58 +0000

Ian is producing today so Miles and I visited him on set. Miles was going to be an extra but it started to be to close to his nap time but before we left he was seducing all the ladies on the set!

small cash advance

Hanging with the wardrobe ladies.

Miles and the stunt men all in black!

Finally posting!

What a whirl wind it has been! I flew with Miles to France by myself and thankfully, it went pretty well! It just so happened that I was sitting next to a pediatrician on the way over and he was incredibly helpful! Miles slept most of the way and he didn’t have any problem with his ears. Swiss Air was a bit of a nightmare! We had delays on both of the planes, the flight attendants were rude and they damaged my stroller so I wasn’t really happy with that airline. I couldn’t wait to jump into Ian’s arms when we arrived! Ian had a taxi waiting to shuttle us off to the condo where a glass of rose wine was waiting for me! Aaah….. welcome to France!

Dine and dash

And he didn’t even bother to leave a tip!

Trains!!

iantruitner — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 04:19:30 +0000

Mom and Dad brought me to the coolest place on earth, the Train Shack!

It was trains, trains and more trains. Really, what more could anyone want?

Wow!

This is so cool…

I could play here all day.

Did I mention I could play here all day?

Dad likes trains too!

I wish I had one of these in my room.

Checking out the inventory.

Bonus! This place has cars and trucks too!

Sweet! They got me my first train set!

I’m Walking

But what I really want to do is flip light switches. I can’t reach them on my own yet.

Meeting Henry

iantruitner — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:54:34 +0000

Miles is usually the smallest and youngest wherever we go. Today was different though, as Miles got to spend time with 4 month old Henry.

Henry was able to make use out of some of Miles’ old things that he’s grown out of.

Meet and greet.

Miles gives Henry tips on how to best whack the toys hanging over him.

Henry gets acquainted with his new ride.

Miles reminisces about the good times he had in that vehicle.

Henry enjoying the ceiling fan.

At one point Henry and Miles had a sing-off competition. Each side claimed to be victorious.

Henry shows Miles his rolling over skills.

Munchkin and munckin.

Heading home

Baby — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:42:52 +0000

After a fun trip, it’s time to go home.

Yay! Airport!

Settling in for a long trip.

Boy am I tired…

Fountains

iantruitner — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 05:41:48 +0000

Miles loves fountains. He has always been fascinated by running water in general.

Fascinated.

Briefly distracted by a pigeon.

Chatting up the locals.

Fountains are cool!

Last touristy shot in Paris, next to the Opera House.

Exploring Paris

Baby — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 23:45:30 +0000

We checked out the city today. Lots of things to see in Paris!

Ready, set, here we go!

Busy streets.

Fountains are cool!

People in Paris are very stylish.

Look! Pigeons! (…and some funny glass pyramid thing behind me)

More pigeons! (…and some big arch thing)

I’m walking! (…and some big metal tower in the background)

Refueling.

More pigeons!

Down the steps we go.

This metal lady’s nose isn’t as soft as mom’s nose.

I’m walking!

These tree stumps have funny stripes on them.

But they sure are fun to climb!

Hangin with Miles in Paris

Giving mom a break from her usual role of feeding the munchkin.

Ready to paint the town.

On the streets of Paris near an old church.

French headwear and strawberries

Going to Paris!

Baby — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 15:47:37 +0000

Yay! A train!

All those people were inside that train. So that’s what trains are for!

Cruising in style.

Nap time.

Refueling.

Here in Paris! Someone left the water running upstairs…

Playing with Pete and Uncle Vin

Touristy Day in Saint Paul

iantruitner — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:05:48 +0000

Miles getting photobombed by mom in a crepe cafe.

Had to get a shot with “Saint Paul” somewhere in it, to prove we were there.

Mom wouldn’t let me climb up these steps. I can’t imagine why…

At the top of the castle walls.

Nothing like a pint-sized munchkin to make something big look even bigger.

Wedding!

Baby — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 15:56:41 +0000

Everyone looking sharp.

Here I am!

Ceremony wasn’t bad… but great flowers!

I match dad.

Mom looks really pretty!

Nighttime reading (in style).

Mom is never off duty.

Exploring the castle

Baby — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 15:24:24 +0000

Heading up the hill with dad.

Nice view… but mom’s necklace is really tasty.

Dad’s friend Jessica gives great hugs.

Wow! Look at this moss!

Saint Paul De Vence Villa

iantruitner — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 15:13:58 +0000

After arriving Miles wasted no time looking around. Lot’s of rooms and steps to explore.

Checking out the grounds.

This place it big!

Testing out his toys on the outdoor coffee table.

Miles thought the floor would look less better with his toys on it.

Dinner time!

Meeting mom’s friend Tara.

Vive la France!

Baby — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 00:20:32 +0000

French pasta is really tasty.

Look! They know my name in France!

Mom got me this giant funny looking inflatable duck for my baths. It has a squishy beak.

I’m not sure if I like this carousel, but dad sure seems to.

France Day 1

iantruitner — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 00:08:33 +0000

We got back from France last night, and lots of pictures to post. These are from Cannes, when Randall and Miles first arrived.

Tired munchkin waking up in France with mom.

Exploring the apartment.

Everything seems to check out fine.

Enjoying some tasty crepes!

Watching Signing Time on the iPad before bedtime.

The countdown

Randella — Sat, 18 May 2013 05:22:07 +0000

Sorry to be MIA but I have been organizing the last details for our wedding in the South of France. Ian left for Cannes on my 50th birthday and Mother’s Day so I figured I would celebrate the big 50 next year and remain 49 for another year! Miles has been wonderful, he is gradually walking. He crawls faster than a bullet and is absolutely adorable when he is being chased, he giggles all the way to his destination.

All the wedding details are almost complete so now all I have to do is pack and write my VOWS! Yep, we both have waited till the last minute. Gotta start!
