Unveiling Cole's Room

Cole's new room has a little surprise hiding in it....

....actually it is quite large...

...it's a chalkboard wall!

The perfect place for drawing "tall, tall grass" (Cole's first creation on the wall), or whatever your heart desires.

A Kings Work

...is never done - but Daddy's deck project is coming along nicely.

Oma

We have received scary news about Oma.  

She is "sick with something in her belly," as we have told Cole.  

The something in her belly is cancer, more specifically on her pancreas and liver.  

We are scared and sad and trying to hold it together.  

We are also grateful and sentimental and trying to show her how very much we love her.  

Please keep Oma in your heart and prayer and thoughts.

Where We Are

Where we are now is....

...on top of a windy hill....

...perfect for flying a kite....

...unless you're crabby.

Daddy's Day 2010

Cole's treat to Opa and Daddy was doughnuts.  

We sneaked them in while the dads were still sleeping.

 After our drive home, Cole got a nap in while Derek continued work on the deck (I could not convince him that he deserved total relaxation on his Father's Day).  Then we headed to Na & G's house for a quick swim and to wish G a wonderful day.

Happy Fathers Day to a few of the best!

We love you lots Daddy!

and Opa!

and Grandpa!

and G!
