Barb and Cliff came to visit this weekend to see Carrie's Dance Recital, Celebrate Colin's 3rd Birthday and go to the UW Band Concert. With all that fun, and a few "to do's" for Papa, we definitely were busy. We sure like having them in town, it is truly the only grandparents that our children will get to know well. Which makes me sad, because Elaine and Rhode Wanta were pretty awesome parents and pretty awesome grandparents as well. I hope my kids get to know my parents through my stories. And that they get to know countless days and nights with Barb and Cliff. At the Memorial Union (the new Alumni Park)

Carrie likes to exclaim " I LOVE THE STAGE" and she truly does. She isn't afraid, she is confident and proud and strong in her abilities. Little lady, may you take this confidence with you as you grow up and become a young woman. We love you dearly and enjoyed seeing the JOY upon your face as you danced the night away.

If this isn't the best birthday expression ever...I am not sure what is! This kid is becoming more and more awesome by the day. Someone pinch me!

I can't believe the kid who taught me how to be a Mom (and a Dad) has turned 8! Oh my goodness. He is over 50"tall and weighs about 50lbs. He wants to be a meteorologist when he grows up. He does a great job playing piano, in swim lessons, and of course, building tons of stuff with Legos. For his birthday he got an electric train set. We love this kid tons and tons!

Picture time can be SUCH a blast...
