Stair master

"I'll find those stairs. I'll whip their butt, too. Those stairs won't know which way they're going... take drastic steps, kick it to the curb. Don't mess wit' me. I'm the Stair Master. I've mastered the stairs. I wish I had a step right here, right now, I'd step all over it... "

canada 2012

Sorry all, we had so much fun in Canada, we almost forgot to take pictures! i'm still collecting pictures from other people's camera/s phone, so if you have any to share please send them along. going for a walk to Red Bridge (see also movie) there was a lot of brotherly love. Daniel likes baked beans. he likes trying to stab them with his fork (that's a hard task for an adult too!) look grandpa, he's not wearing any underwear! (said about the Grinch)

the ABC song 2.0

It says pizza!

And that marks the end of the days of parents being able to say "do you want to get p-i-z-z-a tonight?"

Swimming

Ella is doing so well in swim class! we see great improvement from week to week. she's starting to really swim! right before this week's class, we bought her some goggles, and she spent most of the class' 'idle' time (while waiting for her turn to swim) sticking her head under water. i think she was excited about seeing stuff under water, just like the olympic swim matches we watched on tv :P (this week we had a substitute teacher because her regular one was on vacation)

bye

goodbye dear friends, we'll miss you a lot! we hope you like your new home in New Jersey. we'll come visit!
