Christmas came and went as fast as it could. Evan seemed to understand what was going on – he knew Santa was coming, knew Santa brought presents, and kept a look out for Christmas trees in every house we went by. Sophie seemed to go along for the ride. Her language skills are progressing quickly [...]
Mornings start early but usually are loaded with happy kids and fun. Untitled from David Bowik on Vimeo.
About 3 weeks ago we evolved into Daddy’a’ and Daddy’o’. We had been using Daddy for both of us since Evan was born. Up until 2 months ago, it worked fine. If Evan said “Daddy” and got the wrong one, he would just say “no – other Daddy”. We knew Evan was starting to struggle [...]
Evan and Sophie had colds this week. It didn’t get very bad for either of them. Some coughing and general grumpiness was about it. Daddies and Max and Matthew never seemed to get it, so it must have been mild and it looks like were headed into Thanksgiving with a completely healthy crew! Sophie is [...]
Updating the blog has been a little challenging lately. Free time is down to almost nothing, and my early mornings sitting at the computer have been replaced with getting up at 4 or 5 to feed Max. We have had some great times with all three kids, and realize there is no way we could [...]

Feeding babies is fun, changing babies is fun, and sometimes poking at babies is fun! [...]
Evan was in the mood to do a little acting in front of the camera – so we caught this on video. Typically he, like most kids I assume, would never ‘perform on command’ so we felt lucky to get! Evan counting from David Bowik on Vimeo.
All three kids are napping at the moment, so I have a few minutes to put a post up about our first few days with Max. Everything is great – I’ll let the pictures tell the story!
Maxwell David Bowik was born on Wednesday October 20th, 2009 at 2:51 PM. 8 lbs. 8 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. He is doing great and was able to come home at just 46 hours old. We are all thrilled. Evan and Sophie are totally thrilled. Evan keeps asking when he is going to [...]
It’s been a full weekend! To pick up where the last post left off, it turns out that Evan has “hand, foot, and mouth disease”. That’s my self diagnosis, but it seems right on. Not a big deal at all, but the symptoms are “general malaise and lack of interest in solid foods” which is [...]
