Papa Tim

My dad died back when I was 15, he never had the chance to meet my wife or my kids. I am sure he would have had a blast with my boys, there are so many things he would have showed them to drive me nuts. He would have been so proud of them and Darcy!

Trying to explain death to kids is really tough, but I think Cameron actually gets it and Keaton, well I don’t know what he thinks about it. We try to explain that sometimes the body is under the ground and the spirit is up in heaven. Then he will ask “how can he see us if his body is buried but his spirit is in heaven, aren’t his eyes in his body?”

My dad had ulcers most of his adult life and he ate popsicles like they were going out of style, the popsicles would help his stomach not hurt as much. So for the last few years we have made a little tradition to go and have some popsicles with Papa Tim every now and again.

Here are a few shots from last night. We love you Papa Tim!

Tree....

I guess you can say I took a picture of a branch! Oh how exciting is that?

Garage Sale Find

Cam rides the bus home from school everyday, yesterday on his route home he spotted a garage sale that had some Christmas decorations for sale. Some how when him and Darcy were done taking Ollie to the vet he convinced Darcy to swing by it. Cam scored pretty good on this one. Each deer and sleigh were only $5 each. The owner (Ole) of the garage sale was pretty excited to meet Cam. You can tell he has the same enthusiasm for Christmas decoration as Cam. I think we made two peoples night last night.

Bud...

Another try at this macro stuff :)

Macro?

Here is my attempt of a macro shot without a macro lens....

View from the lunch table...

When we were in the cities a couple of weeks ago Darcy and I treated each other to a lunch date at the Rain Forest Cafe. This was the view from our table. I was surprised at the cool photos we captured just using Darcy's tiny pink purse camera.

Do you see a snake?

Tree Climbing

Our boys have never really been into climbing trees but this past weekend they saw some other boys doing it. I think we might be in trouble, especially with Keaton!

Highlights of March 2009

The Opener

Cameron has been asking to go fishing for the past couple of weeks. So this past weekend we went and got some minnows and everything all ready to go. Darcy thought it was only going to last a couple of minutes but I think we were there for over an hour. Cameron caught two Bass and Keaton caught one. This was Keatons first time catching a fish, he was pretty excited. Cameron keeps telling people he caught a whale…. I am glad they had a good time with it.

Oh and I didn't catch a dang thing!
