4/7/15 - Day 97 - No Pain No Gain

James working hard doing pushups like Daddy does. Well, kind of. Nathan is clearly amused.

4/6/15 - Day 96 - Blocks

The boys were so adorable playing with the blocks this morning that I went and grabbed my camera. They were building little towers and taking turns knocking them down. I got it in my little head that I might do some sort of composite image to make it look like the blocks are flying directly at the camera.  Yeah....didn't so much work the way I imagined. But, we had fun trying.

4/5/15 - Day 95 - Happy Easter

4/4/15 - Day 94 - Blood Moon

This was NOT an easy photo to capture.  I used my new Point and Shoot camera because it has an incredible zoom on it, but it was so hard to focus. The tiniest movement on the tripod meant that the moon would disappear from my view and I'd miss it. I have lots and lots of terrible photos from this night, but I'm happy that I did get one or two decent shots. Here's one.

4/3/15 - Day 93 - Free to Roam

Nathan is still off from school, but James is at daycare for the day...so I took the opportunity to take Nathan to the park to meet up with some friends. We packed a little picnic, and sat in the shade of a tree while we waited.  Our friends were a little late, so Nathan wanted to go off to the playground to play.  It's so nice that he's finally at an age where I feel comfortable letting him go off, out of sight to play.  Here he is swinging, very far away from me. 

After our friends arrived, just plain acting silly.

4/2/15 - Day 92 - Drummer Boy

Nathan has long been interested in the drums. Here he is playing Rock Band on the Wii.  He's getting pretty good at those drums.

4/1/15 - Day 91 - Science Ain't Nobody's Fool

I'm guessing Rich took today off too?  Wow! We spent the day with some friends at the Science Museum. This was the first time that James was really able to enjoy himself here.


A tradition, trying to lift the car near the parking lot.

James and Daddy playing with the speaker tube. 

Nathan and Vincent working together. 

James just delighted by the snow tube. 

An homage to a photo we took of Nathan years ago in precisely this same spot.  Luckily, James isn't grumpy here.
