literally.

i tried this shot three different times.

he was running so fast...

he ran out of focus.

(that is not easy to do with my camera.)

you can see the determination on his face no matter how blurry it is.

today was the last day to run for mileage club.

he needed to keep pace or pass logan for a chance to medal.

results on thursday.

is the memory that we tried a new dinner and everybody enjoyed it...

or

that the 4 year old thinks it is acceptable to eat with his feet propped on the table?

n~i was at michelle's and my throat started getting all tightened.

c~ that was your bronchia..., nicklaus.

to which tom replies, of course it is cliff clavin.

he has been learning about the human anatomy this week.

loves to apply what he has learned...

and take any opportunity to show his brother up.

they have been talking about it all week.

the new ninjago episode.

nicklaus has been counting down the days.

he made me check the dvr to make sure it would record.

who was going to be the new green ninja?

ari and gavin were all about it, too.

they watched it twice more on the web before leaving to reenact it on their own.

can't blame them...

i am the same way with glee and grey's.

picnic lunch.

strict instructions not to cut the giant piece of cantaloupe.

made up a song about santa getting stuck in the chimney.

he got out in the end.

played the piano...

the wooden slats on the picnic table.

played little einsteins assigning everyone in our family, including grandmagrandpa, characters.

he was rocket.

had a nice swing.

sang down by the bay on the way back into the house.

longest & fastest 35 minutes of my day...

i don't even know how he found time to chew his food.
