Our first post!

This is all so very exciting! I would like to say that we (and by we, I mean Jane) created this blog to keep our family up-to-date with our lives, but we all know the 2 real reasons:

1. let people know the hilarious things our kids do.
2. trump the Kerr's blog.

**Important note to those new to our stories: my son will (mostly) here on out be known as Kevin , not to confuse him with K2 - my husband, or K1 - my father-in-law. This helps skip the jokes when I say "Kevin went on the potty today!" and then someone congratulates my husband.

So here are the two stories that made us (me) think I need to share stories of what happens around here.

The first was on Monday night when Downtown Grandma and Aunt Cathy were over for dinner. Kevin was excused from the table. He came in wearing a hanger. (See photo.) I asked him what he was doing. His response: "I am hang gliding."

The second story happened the following night. We were watching a children's show about jobs. I asked Kevin what he would like to be when he grows up. He told me "Ummm... a pirate in a haunted house. You can be the ghost." I told him that I was already a teacher. He consoled me by saying "You can still be a ghost." And then added " You will need a sheet."

I don't know how he comes up with it.

As for photos, we don't have any new family ones. I am only in nine photos that include more than half of my face and the inside view of my arm since I am the only person who takes pictures in this household anyway and if I want a picture with anyone I have to hold the camera myself. (Timers don't work with kids.) The great news is that next month we are having family photos done again by Mrs. Weekly and Ms. Leeke. Since retiring they have started photography. We loved the pictures so much last summer that we vowed to return at least once a year for more. I will share them when we get them.
