tats

as you often do you took your t-shirt off the other day. nothing new, but then you proceeded to draw on your stomach with a non-permanent marker. i wasn’t aware of this artistic exploration until you said “janelle has one of these.” you then turned around to reveal your freshly inked anarchy symbol tattoo.

observation

this morning you made a keen observation. as we were watching curious george you noticed a truck with flashing lights in front of the house. of course we went outside to check it out. as it turns out, our neighbor, nick, was having his truck towed. we watched the flatbed tow truck pull the truck onto it’s bed. as the tow truck starting pulling away a car in need of some body work followed as it left the neighborhood. you smartly said “that car needs to be on the tow truck.”

bowling

a new something to do on the weekends. bowling. all of us went bowling this morning. you lasted five out of ten frames. or half a game. you were having fun rolling the big six pound ball down the lane until you decided it was taking too long. checking out the toy vending machines was more fun.

wall-e

today mom and i took you to see the new pixar movie wall-e. we intended this to be your first movie but when the hotel room got a little crowded in seattle you and i went to see kung fu panda. you enjoyed the movie and asked a lot of questions during the movie. after we had lunch in the food court (the movie theater was in the sarasota mall) and then we walked around. okay, mom and dad walked, you rode in one of those red car kid carts. you were a little tired at that time of day which explains wanting to ride in the cart and being cranky later in the day.

anacortes, wa summer 2008

we just returned from our family vacation. you sure do love the airplanes and airports. we flew to seattle washington and then drove a car to anacortes washington to spend a week relaxing and visiting your cousins tanner, ava, and burke along with their parents michele and jason. as you and ava are the same age you played together most of the time and of course got in each others faces a few times. after anacortes we spent a few days in the big city of seattle. we visited the space needle, the chidlren’s museum, pike place market, pioneer square, and rode the monorail a few times. throughout the entire trip you were taking pictures to show your friends back in sarasota. the photos were amazing. you might have a future as a photographer.
