Tim and the girl in the blue shirt were on spring break last Monday, so we had lots of people to hang out and amuse the little guys. She can add Baby Wrangler to her list of talents and skills. This nosy cat doesn’t like to miss a thing. This crazy-ass thing was completely assembled,

We finished the first step of getting our taxes done.  Next week I can do the rest and then we’ll meet with the accountant. This guy was super interested in it all.  I sent the pics to my brother, said they should have been accountants. He kept getting more and more in the way until

This guy was mad at lunch last Monday.  He slapped his Batman fork, slapped his plate. Lunch? Who eats lunch?   Dumbest thing he’d ever heard.

Knowing you and being your grandparents has truly been one of the best parts of LIFE. Your energy, enthusiasm, big heart, zest for all of everything? It’s something. Happy Birthday,
