Tristan at 20 months.
Easter came early at our house since Camden will be at the beach with her mom next weekend. Yesterday, the kids had cousins Will and Sam over for an Easter party. They dyed Easter eggs, hunted plastic eggs and played in the backyard. We all enjoyed hot dogs, Andrea’s famous mac-n-cheese, a veggie platter and my homemade Easter cake. The kids woke this morning to find Easter treats left by the Easter bunny.(How did he know to come early?)
Tristan shows off his football skills for the boys last
weekend at friend Jack's first birthday party.
Welcome to our first family blog. Here's what we have been up to the past month or so. Every February brings a father's most dreaded occasion...the daddy-daughter dance. Actually, it's really a daughter dance supervised by dads who are standing around stuffing their faces with all kinds of goodies like pizza, Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets, deserts of all flavors and lemonade.
Camden always has a blast. Luckily, she always wears out before the nine o'clock finale so it's a relatively short affair for us.
Andrea and I finally celebrated Valentines day on February the 27th with a dinner at Macaroni Grill and a little shopping. The dinner was absolutely wonderful and, since we were using a gift card I got for my birthday from Michelle and Scott, we even ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. They were the best mozzarella sticks I have ever had. The "complemetary" bread and olive oil dip was also great. You may think it's weird that we went shopping for the rest of the date but it's a lot easier to shop for yourself without kids around. Anyway, we were able to spend some time together without the kids and that was nice.
Tristan is growing like a weed and loves going to his preschool. He's always in such a good mood when I pick him up there. He loves to run back and forth across the room and throw himself on the floor like a stuntman. Of course most of you know he loves balls. He can throw them, catch them and kick them. In fact, he can even drop kick a ball. All of these things are cool but it can be quite hazzardous when he throws one at your head when your not looking.
