Since I’m coaching the tee ball team, Amy is taking over the photo shooting responsibilities for the season. Nathan had an excellent first game and I think all of the kids had...

I’m still laughing as I type this.  The kids were making a card for Amy’s parents this morning (for grandparents day tomorrow) and Nathan decided to make a card for Amy and Kayla. He did so and then gave it to Amy and said she could open it tomorrow. I guess he then decided that since he made one for the girls that he also wanted to make one for him and I.

For the first time ever, both of our kids are at school. Nathan is only going to pre-school 2 days per week but it feels funny with them both being gone. Usually at this time, he’d be playing the Wii and then we’d head outside for baseball or riding bikes etc.  I have a hard time believing they are growing up so fast. Up until about 6 months ago, Nathan had a very difficult time and would worry about going to Sunday school at...

I recently posted a photo of me throwing Nathan in the air and was asked if it was Photoshopped. It wasn’t, but the comment did give me a couple of ideas and the kids were more than happy to help out since it meant Kayla would get to shoot the photos while Nathan would get to fly.  Here are photos from back in 2007 (Nathan has always liked to do this), a couple of days ago and...
