As a tribute to Nate on this Father’s Day, as he labors over the house remodel (and still puts in long hours at his day job!), I put together some photos of the past two years of fatherhood.

A lot of people have asked where our two cats are living during the remodel. Both Leo and Yuri are still living in the house! Each cat has adjusted to the renovation in his own way.

Double-thinking Disposable Diapers

There are few things that Silas is going through that I haven’t experienced.

Spring Fun

I wanted to share photos from a couple special events in April: Over Easter weekend, Silas participated in his first egg hunt. A week later Silas and I went to the Water for Waslala 6th Annual Walk for Water.

An Unfinished House

Nate is working on the house after work and on the weekends. It seems to have brought him back to the days a decade ago (wow, has it been that long??) when he was building the house.

We're Back on the Blog

We had a lengthy hiatus from blogging this year. It was unintentional, but what began as a problem with my computer was dragged out, I admit, by sheer laziness.
