We took Sadie for a walk this afternoon, and I let Sean man the camera. He didn't do half bad, at that!

Sean had never heard of a "selfie" before, and I explained to him what it was. He then proceeded to take a whole bunch. These are the best of the lot.

Last weekend was our annual Father's Day / Lori's Birthday Cookout - I think this was either our 5th or 6th one. Every year it gets a little bigger, and this one was no exception. Although I think next year we may forgo the bouncy house - most of the kids are getting too old for it, and the littler ones are still too young for it. So I think we may take a break from it for a year or two. The kids still had fun with squirt guns and water balloons, though. Plus this year I had the arcade cabinet that I had built for Sean in the garage, and I had also built a Raspberry Pi-based photobooth which I plan to show off in a future post. Below are some random pics from the cookout. I love that my Dad photobombed the one of James and Kathy - he looks so little back there!

The kids and I did a bunch of sledding in the woods out back over the Christmas break. I love this picture that Lori took - that's me in the background - legs straight up in the air, right after going over a jump. Ha!

They made it until midnight! I've got to admit, I was surprised to see that nobody crashed before twelve. Happy new year, everyone!

Last weekend the kids and I took all the empty flooring boxes from the work I did in the master bedroom and built a Hotwheels racetrack in the kitchen. It was all very spontaneous, while we were waiting for Mom to finish her shower.
