This photo brings back memories of my childhood for 2 reasons. If you knew me as a child you will know exactly what I am talking about.


Baseball has finally started. He loves baseball! His favorite position is catcher. He is actully pretty good at it if I must say. We have a good time watching him. He is on the Indians. And they have won 3 of their 4 games.
We did some bird watching in our back yard on Mother's Day. We have all kinds of birds in our neighborhood. We have some type of blue birds, some doves, and....
... a woodpecker. This is a picture of it. We can hear it all over the neighborhood tapping on trees and power poles.Kendal dedicates this song to all her little girl cousins. They are the only ones who will remotely recognize this song.
Bryce was excited about the Lego Star Wars that he got. He put this together all by himself.
We had an early dinner on New Year's Eve. Becky brought cream puffs for dessert - which we pigged down.
Brian usually stays up late with me to keep me company while I work. But he has gotten into watching the Food Network (in HD). So he has become a very good cook. (He has cooked more than me lately). So he cooked some yummy shrimp (so he says) for our New Year's Eve dinner. We put the kids to bed early and I worked for half the night while Brian tried to save the world on Xbox. So that was our exciting New Year's Eve party.
