SAY CHEESE - I have to go to the bathroom

Well Kaitlinn's team had their soccer pictures. If you can not tell by the pictures, the sun was shining right in their eyes. Aidan # 2 liked the sun so much he turned his back on the camera. Two kids in the front row are covering their eyes, and if you look real closely at Kaitlinn she looks constipated. That is about par for the course for a soccer team of 4 year old's.

Betsy Ross and Spider Tia

Our fair daughter Tia played Betsy Ross in her class play. She remembered all her lines and did a great job - she would have made Betsy proud.

Then Tia let her hair down and tried the climbing wall at her school carnival. She got about a third of the way up before she waived the white flag.

Most recent photos of the girls. With looks like these, Dad may want to get rid of his gun-phobia and get a hand gun permit for when these girls are of dating age.

Photo on the left is the most recent photo of Senia. Grandpa Joe is holding her. As you can see Senia has as much hair as Grandpa has on his lip.

Senia update: She started eating cereal and is on the verge of crawling. Once that kid is mobile I may need a hip replacement to keep up with all three of these girls.

Catching up

It has been a while. I blame it all on having two girls in soccer at the same time. So here is the family update -- inspired by the news piece "World in a Minute."

Yes indeed we did color Easter eggs. After being ridiculed at work by saying we did not color Easter eggs the last 2 years, Dad had to "man up" and break out the dye and eggs.

There were no chickens harmed in the coloring of these Easter Eggs.

The blue kid above is not a smurf. For those who don't know what a smurf is, I recommend http://www.smurf.com/smurf.php/www/home/en. That is Kaitlinn 10 minutes before her first game and about 40 minutes before her first goal. That's right - little Kaitlinn scored a goal in her first game. Something her Dad was not able to do in 6 years of playing soccer. (it should be noted that Dad was a full back - meaning he played defense)

Moving on to the picture of a bright red chin - for those with weak stomachs - I apologize. The picture is Tia's chin. This picture was submitted to the North Pole to see if she can guide Santa's sleigh should they encounter fog at Christmas time.
Can you spell stitches. That's right - Tia face planted it while riding her scooter - where is the air bag when you need it? She received 5 stitches. Although, each time someone asks her how many stitches she got, she adds a number to it. Right now she is somewhere in the teens. She is fine now, she was scared though. But I am very proud of her. She is growing up before my eyes. Oh and by the way - the scooter is doing just fine.
