fun in sweden

We got new bikes when we got to Sweden.

One of our favorite times of the day is fika - Swedish afternoon cookie break!

Sam says hi!

Dad promised to take us to the Reds' Opening Day Parade. He says it may be the last opportunity to see one for a while.

What do you get when you turn a kid & his buddies loose with a 2.0 mega pixel camera at the annual church variety show? Sixty one mirky pictures of a good time. Buddy Tanner and Jake above.



Dad co-hosting the show.

He was looking kind of dumb with his finger and his thumb in the shape of an 'L' on his forehead.

And of course, the kids' first urinal shot.

sleep over

My aunt Margaret has a sleep over every year for me, Sam and my cousins. I think that is really cool. We always do some kind of craft. This year she had little wooden boxes that we could color. I had a bloody nose the other day so that is what I drew on my box. My mom and dad really like my drawing.
