Our Family

Last week Grandma and Grandpa M, Laura, and Eli came to visit. Here are some photos from a pick-up b-ball game that formed in the driveway:

I've had a little trouble during this past week. Last weekend while I was cleaning out our basement, I came across a burned cd "slideshow" of one of Elliot's pre-school classes. Seeing the cd reminded me of Elliot at pre-school, his pre-school graduation, etc. For some reason that stopped me in my tracks and made me extremely sentimental about my two little boys...like I want to take a 15-year break from work and spend every minute that I possibly can with these two kids.

I had the unique experience this week of two different strangers telling me what I look like. First, as I walked down the aisle in the grocery store, a lady who obviously needed some information asked me if I worked there. I said, "Nope." She said, "Well, you look like you do." Then, at the post office I asked to buy a book of stamps. The clerk said, "You look like a flag kind of guy. Is that the kind you want?" I said, "Sure, that's fine." Yep, that's me, your flag-stamp-loving Kroger-employee wannabe.

Elliot had a birthday party with his friends a week ago. Here are some photos:

A couple weeks back we celebrated Lisa and Elliot's birthday downstate. Here are some photos and a video:
