A little older, a little fatter...
...a little wiser?!?! I talked to my mom yesterday and she reminded me that along with all of those other things, wisdom comes with age. It's good that we get something out of becoming older because I have found that no matter how hard I try, I can't quite pull-off behaving like a kid anymore...it hurts my body and my pride way too much. Seems fitting that the dictionary.com word of the day is patina; The color or incrustation which age gives to works of art. Got plenty of that! I had a terrific birthday yesterday. Ry made me the coolest card I have ever received from anyone...EVER! It featured Clyde Drexler. My friend Andrew brought me banana cream pie for lunch. My wife sent me to the gym to burn it off. I enjoyed a Texas Road house dinner with the Lande clan. I ate strawberry shortcake, furnished by my lovely wife. I held my niece...who is absolutely beautiful. And got cool gifts from my family. My kids put together a giant box of all of my favorite treats - 33 of them. Ryan's Celtics won. I told him that the only thing better than his team playing games on my birthday, is MY team playing games on my birthday. I love my little basketball fans.

Vacation & Visitors
Wow. A lot has gone down since I entered the last post. The family took another trip to Sun River to meet with the Kinnamans. Lisa and I took a much needed vacation to celebrate our 10 year anniversary; our first big trip away since we have had kids.
Kevin has gotten out of the Army and he is now engaged to Holly Mishler -- hooray--and their wedding is planned for the beginning of August. Ryan is now 8 years old. We celebrated his birthday with friends at Boondocks and ice cream with the family. 
May has been crazy fun, with family coming to visit nearly every weekend; first, Kevin came through on his way to El Paso . The kids had a blast with Uncle Kevie...he even face painted them with Army paints! They laid out in the backyard grass and were seriously convinced that they were camouflaged! 
Next Drew and Courtney rolled through, driving on their way home from SNU.
For the second year in a row, Uncle Drew took the kids to the neighborhood pool for the first swim of the season...even though it was only in the low 70's!
Finally, Mom and Dad brought Drew, Daniel, and Pepper out for Memorial Day weekend for a nice visit. It was good to see Mom. 
Abby enjoyed having a dog for a few days.
While all of that was going on, Tiffany and Brendan had baby Makena on May 6th. Horray!!!
We are all so excited to have a baby in the family, again. It also helps that she is so darn cute!
Whew, it feels like we need another holiday weekend, just to recuperate from all of the fun and excitement we have been having. This spring has been fantastic! To top it all off, out resident Celtics fan Ryan, has been closely following all of the drama that his team has offered in NBA playoffs.
