Proof

Let this picture Meggan took serve as proof in the event Olive ever kills me in my sleep....

Okay, I get it.

Everett has asked me 3 times this week when he and Amelia get to go back to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  The first time, I figured it was curiosity.  The second time, I wrote it off as eagerness.  After the third time, I'm starting to think he's about a day away from trying to hitchhike down there. 

Father's Day

As always, I had a wonderful Father's Day.  They get better and better as the kids grow into their personalities....

Here are the cards I received ....


 Along with some nice gifts, Meggan got me this lovely card...

Everett made me this card, gave me a $20 bill, and told me I was his hero...

Amelia gave me this card.... so, there's that...

Hide and Seek

Sometimes, it's hard to find Olive when she's snuggled up in our comforter.  I don't want to give any clues, but I think she might be the eyeball in the middle.

Okay, We'll Do It Your Way

Olive has gotten used to taking a walk every night....and I mean EVERY night.  While I'm happy she likes it and we really enjoy taking her, she has gotten completely out of control.  For instance, she didn't want to let a little rain stop her from walking tonight.  Despite me showing her the rain, she felt the best way to spend the evening was to sit next to her leash and bark her head off.  After about 30 minutes of her and I negotiating aggressively (at one point, I offered two walks tomorrow), off for a walk we went...

Good Morning

Mornings around here start with snuggles....and lots of them...

Home Again

Amelia and I have returned from our daddy-daughter trip to the mountains.  Despite it pouring rain the entire time, we had a great time.  Here are a few of the highlights....

The clearest view from our deck.  It was a white-out of fog the rest of the time...

 We had a few snacks...and literally blew up and popped over 100 balloons...

 We visited a place claiming to have strange magnetic powers.  I'm sure it was fake, but it was impressive and allowed Amelia to do the Michael Jackson lean...

 And we encapsulated ourselves fully in giant bubbles... you know, as people do...
