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.
