The young man is greatly enjoying nibbling on the Halloween biscuit that he made at nursery today… check out that smile!

Today’s Photos: Nyan Thomas
Nothing too special here, just a trio of photos from recent days of the young man. (Cross-posted from the Facebooks.)
Today was a Good Day (with photos!)
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the namesake hero of this here blog (which helps explain the lack of posts of late). Young Nyan Thomas caught a series of bugs from his nursery (day care), which led to several days of a constantly running nose, which morphed into a shallow cough, which morphed into a chest infection, complete with fever and general lethargy. Poor little fella. So for the last couple of weeks, he spent a fair amount of time in Colchester, where Phwa Phwa and the rest of the K. clan came together to take care of him on most weekdays, since Mommy and Daddy – still being relatively green at their respective jobs – couldn’t take large chunks of time off.
Paralympics! (With photos and video)
The other night, we finally made it to the Olympic Park for an evening at the Paralympic Games. (Special thanks to Sharon and Chris for the tickets!)
It was a bit of a mad rush to get there – Mommy had to rush back home to pick up the boy from the daycare, then get back on the train to the Olympic Village, all while Daddy slogged through another day of training for his new job before rushing to the train to meet Mommy and Nyan at the park. The place was heaving with people, but getting through security and the various ticket checkpoints was remarkably fast and efficient. We didn’t see too much of the park, as the place is sprawling, but we did get close to the Stadium, the “Orbital” (that weird red metal sculpture that rises a couple hundred feet into the air), the water polo stadium, and – our destination for the night – the Aquatics Center.

Happy Birthday, Nyan Thomas!
Today is the day: one year ago this very day, our little boy was born. It’s been a wild ride, as you’ve seen in thes pages; if you haven’t been on this site in a while, make sure you poke around and check out the posts from the last 12 days – we put up one post each day taking a look back at a specific month over the last year. It was a fun trip down memory lane to put it all together, and it was a great reminder of just how much fun and joy the little guy has brought us.
(If you care to read up on those very first days, check out these posts from a year ago: read about Day One, here; Day Two, here; Day Three, here; and Day Four, here.)
The Things He Puts in His Mouth
A quick look at one of our boy’s favorite things to do: shoving things in his mouth. In this case, just a random sampling of toys. (Click on any photo to enlarge)
Happy Fourth of July!
It’s just about dusk here in England, but weirdly enough to this American expatriate, there are no fireworks planned. Go figure.
Not to worry though: as you can see in the slideshow, Our Hero got into his finest patriotic onesie to send some love back across the waters. But of course, young Nyan Thomas is not just biracial but bi-national as well, so he made sure to slip into his best Union Jack diaper* as well.
*Over here, they call them ‘nappies.’ But on July 4, I say we call them diapers!
Today’s photos: Farewell (for now) to Iowa
Our two-and-a-half-week long sojourn in the warm humid air of an early Iowa summer is coming to an end. Young Nyan Thomas has had a blast – as have his folks – but it is time to head overseas. Next post will be datelined London…. Here, a couple recent photos from his days of being spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa.
Stopping to smell (or at least feel) the flowers:

Portraits of the Young Man as a Young Man
Nothing fancy here, just some recent shots of young Nyan Thomas in action. Plus some really nice pictures of the artist with his Grandma!
