Reminiscing

Every so often I go looking for a picture and end up distracted for an hour. Tonight I ran across Dad and my trip to Steens Mtn in Eastern Oregon. It was beautiful, peaceful place and I treasure the memories of my dad and I road trippin’ together.

Quick Update

March 31st, 2010 by Mike

Sorry we haven’t posted in a while! Here’s a very brief update so I can post some pics.

Last weekend we visited Grandma in New Jersey. We shared lunch at a Pizza place in town then went to the park to play on the playground. Grandma’s granddaughter Sara was there too so the two girls had a blast playing around.

Nora and Levi have been attempting to play together during the days. Nora usually mauls Levi, and Levi wants to get into anything he can, especially if it’s something Nora’s doing. Somehow Alicia caught this rare shot of them playing together peacefully.

Oh, Levi got his first tooth about two weeks ago. The second followed shortly after. Probably in the next post you’ll get to see his two little gems on the bottom. He’s always looking for things to teeth on and lately his favorite thing is a fake bottle from one of Nora’s dolls.

I also had a birthday recently. Alicia surprised me with a rack of Ribs from Tony Roma’s! We don’t have Tony Roma’s out here so it was a dream come true when Alicia found them at Costco. Even though they were pre-cooked they were delicious.

We had a very wet early spring but things are finally drying up. This weekend we are supposed to hit 80 degrees! I went to tune up my mountain bike for the first race this weekend and I found my frame is cracked!

So I scambled to find a replacement and have been spending the wee hours of the night swapping parts over. Here’s my new ride!
