David Multer

Just a few random shots on a typical day. Doug is over for some fun with Gabe, Nick hams it up for the camera, and Monica has fun with her bird Cheerio.

Another fine morning at our house. Monica and Abby settle in for the night, while Gabe enjoys making faces in his mirror.

Definitely have to swing by Val’s house to check out Chris’ new car. There are a few new paintings to check out as well.

Another fun stop over at aunt Val’s house. Their guinea pig wisely stays well hidden He’s aptly named “G pig”. The really fun pets are the latest collection of bunnies. Monica has a particular fondness for the brown and white one. She enjoys rolling him up in a ball and carrying him around like a baby.

Charlotte is off to Valri’s to perform emergency restoration efforts on some critical blankies. It may look hopeless, but Charlotte is a miracle worker with the sewing machine. Val’s got some new artwork that’s worth checking out. One of the many bunnies bids Charlotte goodbye.

Charlotte’s mom sent us a whole palette of stuff recently. Not sure how long the Abe Lincoln look-alike painting will last in the family room, but the rocker and the dresser look great. Charlotte did a whole pile of work restoring the dresser. I was pretty skeptical when it first arrived, but Charlotte really pulled it off as usual. Lots of odds and ends have been added to the menagerie scattered about the house. ...

I really won’t go into the tales of woe regarding our previous bird pets, but Nick sure does love these creatures. Charlotte caught wind of a woman that’s really into birds and had a few she was looking to unload for free. It was too hard to say no, so two more animals join the ranks of the Multer’s pet menagerie. I’m trying really hard to focus on how much the kids love them, and not the crap (literally) they leave all over the house. Gabe and I work them into our castle action figure play. I don’t think they’re going to hold up as well as those plastic figures. ...

It’s birthday time again for David. We did the Chinese food dinner thing this year. The kids really enjoy doing the pu-pu platter. There’s something about food warmed over a nice sterno fire. Back at the house I break open the booty and enjoy cake. I got a bunch of DVDs, books, and those JBL speakers I really wanted. My bro managed to get a pair of them for me as well. Now let me see what else I would love from Amazon.

Charlotte was supposed to head back today, but the weather had a different idea. The storm really hammered the area and left some pretty huge snowdrifts. Gordon breaks out the plow once again.

If you can take the cold, the cross country skiing up north is pretty fantastic. It’s very remote and not too hilly. I wish I was up there with Charlotte. It’s a great way to spend the day together. I don’t think anyone is using the deer blind this time of year, but it’s best if Charlotte moves on before she’s mistaken for Bambi’s mother.
