Happy kids

Do not train boys to learning by force and harshness, but lead them by what amuses them, so that they may better discover the bent of their minds.-- Plato

There has never been a day when I have not been proud of you, I said to my Son though some days I’m louder about other stuff so it’s easy to miss that.-- Brian Andreas

Goodbye Kahlua

I will miss you and your meanness. I loved you so very much, and I hope you are doing better now. I don't think pets really ever leave us, i think they are just keeping a spot warm for us. Rest in Peace. I love you.

Love,
Sam

4th of July

Saturday was spent BBQing for the 4th of July, we had a few people over to hang out. The party started at 12 and didn’t end till 2 am. But we had a really good time. Got to hang out with some people outside of work and got to catch up with some we haven’t seen in a while. Rohan crashed at 8, but Aragorn stayed up and got to use some sparklers (candles) as he calls them, and he got to see a pretty cool fireworks show put on by our neighbors friend. All in all it was a very good day, lots of sun and pool time, and rock band as we got rained out. I also managed to get a couple very patriotic pictures of the boys. Needless to say Sunday was spent inside and quiet.

Hope you are all well

Bouncy houses and cotton candy

We attended the church block party on Wednesday, it was a lot of fun. Aragorn met a couple of other kids that will be in bible study class. He also played on the playground a lot, the bounce house was not as exciting as I thought it would be for him. He did enjoy the 2 helpings of cotton candy and snow cones though. Rohan also played on the play ground and enjoyed 3 (yes 3) hotdogs. Eric and I got a couple of minutes with pastor Heller he invited us for bible study this weekend, and his wife wants to sit down with me and talk. I really like how involved they are. Nicole came over Thursday and helped Aragorn and I make firework decorations for the 4th of July BBQ. We put Rohan to bed for the evening and just spent some time with Aragorn, he loved making the fireworks (pipe cleaners, glitter and glue). I always have so much fun watching him and seeing everything he sees and learns.

~~Cheers~~
