The missing photos

Who knows what the heck these two are doing. Seeing who can touch their nose with their tongue? Maybe catching mosquitos? Your guess is as good as mine. Taken 5 September 2006, at 4:35pm. And what do you know? Just realized it’s Leap Year Day… or… whatever. How many times do you get to post on February 29th? (And Matt… we all know once every 4 years… you don’t have to tell us)

All about the cold

So, this weekend I called Nicholas a ‘Northman’. Told him I was kind of proud of it as in this regard he is somewhat taking after me. And what does he do to earn this title? He likes to go around in the Michigan winter claiming he doesn’t need his coat. Often, we’ll make him take it with him, but then he never really puts it on, he just drapes the hood over the top of his head and lets the coat hang down his back. Even yesterday, when going to church, it was below 5º, wind chill around -20º, I’m sure sure he would have preferred to leave his coat in the car.

When I picked him up from karate this evening, it was a balmy 8º. I asked him half jokingly where his coat was, and I was surprised when he actually said he left it inside and we had to go back and get it. I said, “I’m surprised you even have it.”

To which he responded that he had meant to leave it in the car but he just forgot. And did he put it on as we walked back out? Nope. Said he didn’t need it. I said, “Dude, it’s like 8º.”

He replied, “Feels more like 30º to me.” As if 30º is some heat wave or something.

Little Artist

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a new link under the Blogroll section on the right. It’s actually the very first one under that section.

This is hopefully the first small step in getting some of Ashlee’s creations actually produced and stuff. She’s done some really cool things. Some of you may or may not know that she’s authored and illustrated several of her own books too.

So check out her blog and enjoy!
