The Story Behind The Picture: The Rainbow

This is one of my favorite pictures of Karyna... it was taken on June 8th, 2001. We were visiting my friend's dairy goat farm, right after it had rained. I didn't even realize there was a rainbow until I downloaded this picture, days later.

Minivan Safari

A few weekends ago we did the Safari at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. While it is kind of expensive ($15/adult, $7/child), it is definitely something worth doing once. The kids and abuelos really enjoyed it, and Karyna enjoyed it right up until the point that a Zebra got nice and friendly with her.

Dancing Diva

Piano Dancing

The kids love dancing to the demo music on our electric piano.

Biking on the Block

Logan and Natalie like to ride bikes, but especially Natalie. She is really proud of her "big girl" bike and she does a pretty good job on training wheels.

Here is the trike that Logan rides that used to be Natalie's. He still hasn't quite mastered the pedal action so it helps to have the handle in the back to keep things moving.

Here is my babies' momma showing off her new haircut, reminiscent of her style in High School.

Logan at Two: Daddy's Thoughts

This was my buddy Logan shortly after we brought him home from the hospital.


At age two, it is finally time for me to come to grips with the fact that I don't have a baby anymore!


In the month of May, Logan just hit a huge development spurt and it really caught us all by surprise. He started:

• sleeping in a real bed (anyone need a crib?)
• potty training
• eating in a regular chair, no more booster
• being completely rambunctious and fighting with his sister, earning timeouts left and right

In general, he just really has begun asserting himself as a growing dude and member of the Odom family. It all happened so fast, and really caught me by surprise. I am looking forward to the bigger kid activities (he likes to play catch now), but I certainly do miss having a "baby" around.

Logan Is Two.

My baby boy is two. We had two birthday parties. One in Austin at South Park Meadows and the other in Houston at the Aquarium. Here are some pictures from the Aquarium

Tio Gabriel and Lindsey brought Lucy up to Buda for the 10th Annual Weiner Dog Races... here is Lucy's first effort!

Nana + Photobooth

One of my daughter's favorite pastimes is hanging out in front of the computer using the Mac Photo Booth application. She likes making faces and using the different filters.

Easter Egg Prep

The kids prepare for easter by assembling and painting eggs. I think Logan was more about the eating of already-assembled components.

Logan + Bath Towel = Superman

Logan insisted on wearing this while he was jamming to Laurie Berkner tunes on evening.

Wade+Alicia's Baby has Arrived!

Baby Shea was born on 4/5, at 5:35pm, 7 lbs 10 oz. These pictures are fuzzy because they are taken on my phone (I forgot the digitial cam), but you get the general idea! Congrats to the proud parents, and my homeboy Mr. Wade!
