We were also blessed to attend parties for Daniel Andrews, Brooke Molitor, and Danielle Gendron. These were wonderful times for us. I think that Emily and I both feel extremely blessed to be a part of teaching high schoolers b/c it constantly reminds us to slow down and enjoy these days with Sophia and Piper. As was quoted often and in various ways this weekend by numerous dads and moms - "it goes so fast". Thank you parents for allowing me to be a part of your kid's lives.

So this may just appear like a wreath - and if you thought that's what it was then you would be only partially correct - this, our friends, is a battleground. For some reason we are now the Ritz Carlton for the birds in our neighborhood. We are constantly having to remove nest from this new wreath. This time, however, the birds are building in both the top and bottom. So right now, I am going to get up and go take another picture to add to this one and see if they have built in the past hour...
