Baby Rain or Shine, All the Time. We've Got Eachother, Sharin' The Laughter and Love

Ben has recently embraced his pre-teen side, and come to grips with the fact that he's a fan of iCarly (an amusing TV show for the 11-15 age-group.) Anyway, Reid was watching T.V. the other afternoon, and iCarly just happened to be on. Now, Reid knows how much his dad enjoys this show, but unfortunately, Reid was just a little too comfortable to run downstairs and let Ben know. Luckily the camera happened to be handy, so he decided to photograph the entire episode for his Father. Needless to say, we have many more photos just like this one.

My greatest hope is that someday I can gather my male-dominated family and enjoy an episode of Gilmore Girls together. One step at a time.

When You Wish Upon a Star (and Purchase 3-day park hopper tickets.,) Your Dreams Come True...

Yes, we took the vacation of every middle class family's dream. Disneyland!!! Maybe it's a little white-trash, maybe it's a little cliche, but it all boils down to fun for everyone---including Olli, who may look unhappy in the picture below, but is shortly to be in raptures. I know he looks like grump town, but after his encounter with the rapid ride (note the wetness) we just happened upon Lightening McQueen; and all dampness was forgotten.

The Poster Face For DisneyLand

Here's a close up of Olli's face after he hit the rough end of several consecutive waves. "The happiest place on earth?"---he begs to differ.
