"Who's knocking at my door?"
How many balls and boys can a tent hold?
How do you take care of your little brother?
Put him somewhere safe.
Easter egg hunt time.
Seth's first Easter egg hunt.
Daddy helps Nolan crack his eggs.
Seth is not certain he has the concept down.
"Give me five," says the bunny.
This bunny has babysat Nolan.
Notice the color of Nolan's eggs...
and his shoes, and his pants, and his coat.
The day was complete with a ride on the fire truck.
We celebrated at Quartino's in Chicago.
We were surprised when our waiter came up and asked Rebecca,
"Are you Rebecca Goedken?"
When she said she was, he said,
"the chef recognized you and will be sending out some drinks and desserts."
Cheers to Rebecca's friend - the chef!
News from the California Gentlemen
We went to Carmel to spend the day.
California is a very beautiful place.
Nathan and I love our bugs.
We took a tour of Stanford.
Perhaps the boys will be interested in attending someday.
Of course, a birthday means lots of presents.
Auntie Becca knows boys love Pok-e-man.
She had two brothers.
Piano practice is a daily activity.
The same as eating or brushing your teeth.
We all read a favorite book together.
It's a Spiderman birthday.
I hope my next won't be a spider vein birthday.
Nathan speeds down the slide much faster than I do.
I think I must try to slow myself down with my elbows.
It would explain the scabs there, after the first day.
Andrew lands safely at the bottom of the slide.
Can you imagine how bad this feels on your tailbone?
After this I had scabs on my elbows and bruises on my tailbone.
I think Grampa should build me one of these.
It would be easier on the elbows.
We came to look for sea lions.
We brought binoculars.
And we found the sea lions.
They were sun bathing.
This is God's painting.
How does a tree grow on the edge of cliff?
All by itself.
A couple more cute bugs.
A view of paradise.
We left all the bugs, except for this one.
This is a good luck bug.
Nathan is so observant, he can spot a ladybug while running.
After lunch we went to a wine tasting room in Carmel.
It was the highlight of the boys' day.
Another wine tasting room.
A perfect for the boys.
The highlight of my day was trying to figure out Nathan and Andrew's riddles.
I loved when Andrew told us we were Supery Dupery close (but not right).
He told the joke about the man going into the restaurant, and asking,
"Do you serve crabs here?"
We said the response was, "We serve everyone here."
But Andrew had the answer in black and white and it was,
"We serve anyone here."
Perhaps he should consider becoming an attorney.
Or a judge.
But then, I know from experience an engineer thinks in black and white, too.
Now, I just need to put a couple of California bugs in my suitcase.
That way, I'll have plenty of jokes and riddles.
I will learn to play baseball better.
And the boys will be able to play the piano for me everyday.
