Easy Like Sunday Morning

Jerod bought some Rollerblades a couple weeks ago, and he's been getting up at 5:30 a.m. to practice. Yesterday we all went to the trail together in the morning to get some exercise - and to see Jerod on his skates for the first time. He did an awesome job - even making it down a pretty steep hill several times with no spills. Parker practiced his biking, and Sawyer hung out in the jogger and did some walking on the trail. I pushed the jogger but didn't run much because of my bum toe. It wasn't too hot on the shady parts of the trail, and it was a great way to spend a laid-back Sunday morning.

A Father's Day Note

A belated Father's Day note ... to Jerod, who works so hard for us.

Remember when Parker was this little...

And then Sawyer, so tiny ...

And now, so big...

Thank you for all you do, and for working so hard to make each fleeting moment count. Happy Father's Day. We all love you so much!

Say Hello To My Anniversary Present

I am in heaven. I've been obsessed with getting a digital SLR for awhile now, because I am so tired of my point-and-shoot shots being out of focus. I have missed so many great moments because of the shutter delay and because the camera always wants to focus on whatever's in the background. So Jerod went out and bought the Canon Rebel XS, which I've been wanting for months and months. It's perfect for amateur shots, giving me some creative control and - finally! - a real-time shutter click and better focusing. I came home one day, and it was on the counter. Just sitting there.

Thank you, Jerod! I don't need things to celebrate our 13 years together, but I sure do like this camera. :)

Medieval Madness

We headed to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival today in Arrington. It was our first time ... and what a blast. Seriously. We thought it might be fun, but we didn't expect to have that much fun. It was like a big costume party in the woods ... with beer. People were really light-spirited and friendly to the kids. Parker wore his batman cape and knee pads and elbow pads (armor), and people bowed to him and called him a knight - much to his delight. Overcast skies made it a not-too-hot day, and we met up with our neighbors, the Moores - even better. Lots of silliness and fun things to see.
