conversations

Leah: "Daddy, what are you doing?"
Mommy: "He's trying to ruin Kyle's ears so that he can never hear again."
Leah: "Really, Daddy?"
Seth: "Can you hear me, Kyle?!"
Kyle: "No."
Leah: "Yup. Daddy ruined his hearing."

Excerpts from one of our favorites, read by Kyle:

daddy's 31!!

Nathan's birthday was trumped by his being late to come home and Seth's soccer game. We celebrated on the run.... welcome to parenthood!

seth's first soccer season

And, his biggest fans!!

It was so much fun to go to Seth's soccer games. He LOVED it and now he's excited to try out some baseball next!! Thanks, Nana and Papa; that was a great birthday gift.

fun at the zoo

Watching this grizzly play with the kids was super cool. It's amazing how brave they are when there's some glass between them and the bear.
