Fatherhood Has Its Moments

Sometimes they come in weeks.

Here are some favorite photos from our week in Grand Haven, Michigan.

Does Red Make It Cool?

Well, not exactly. But not trying to be cool is what makes you cool, right?

We bit the bullet, more out of impending necessity than anything. But I have to admit, this thing is pretty nice, drives great, the girls love it and it's just about the most versatile vehicle I've seen (and that's saying a lot; I've owned two Jeep Cherokees).

But, still. A TT it's definitely not. Maybe someday.

30 + 30 = a great joint-birthday weekend

Just returned from a fantastic weekend with friends in Marblehead and Gloucester, Massachusetts, celebrating the 30th birthdays of two of our favorite people who just happen to be married. Photos galore.

Tea Time

Matt and I decided to spend some one-on-one time with the girls this morning. Selah was insistent on the zoo with Dad and Naomi and I went out for tea. I took Nomi to a little place in O'Bryonville with a wonderful tea room and arguably the best pastries and wedding cakes in town.

At her request, we then went and explored a local kids bookstore and toy store. The girls soaked up our undivided attention and behaved perfectly. We need to do this more often!

Transition

This picture actually has nothing to do with the post...just a fun little county water park the girls enjoyed a few weeks ago. What's more noteworthy is that Naomi and Selah slept in the same room together last night. They used to share a room at our old house but ever since we moved, they've had their own space - mainly for my sanity around naps. However, they will be roommates once again as we start to make transitions in preparation for our newest addition in the fall. Falling asleep was a much longer process but listening to their conversations made it all worth it.
