TFTC...

...means Thanks For The Cache...

Zeke and Dan have a new hobby. It's geocaching. If you don't know about it and you have a GPS that does coordinates, go to www.geocaching.com and check it out. People hide little things around the world and you go and find them using global coordinates. There are even quite a few where we live. The boys (and Kaiyah, though she wasn't as excited about it as Zeke) went today and found two of them. Both were just a little camera film case with a list inside to sign. It was fun and to Zeke, it's as if he's treasure hunting. Here are a couple of pictures from today's outing...

A few other things that were inside the container, along with my dirty hand.

Date Night

While Renee was here, she offered to keep the kids and let Dan and I go out for the evening. We had a great time! We went and walked (briefly, it was really hot) along the boardwalk by the sea. Yes, we're pretty cool with our shadow art.We walked through a little park beside the sea in an area we had never been to before. They had all these leaning trees. We're not sure why they were leaning, but it made for a good photo op.Then we headed to a mall we hadn't been to before and ate dinner.
We got a 3 minute massage in one of the massage chairs sitting around the mall.
Then we ended the evening watching "Knight and Day". We both enjoyed it. During the night Dan mentioned that when they were young, his parents would go on a date ever month on the day of their anniversary. We realized that it was the 15th of the month which is our anniversary. It's sometimes hard to get away on a date when you have 3 little kids and live a million miles away from free babysitters in the form of Grandparents. We just may have to adopt this tradition to make sure too much time doesn't pass before we have another one of these nights!

Toilet Paper

We needed toilet paper the other day and Dan came home with this:

I'm so proud :)

Introducing Sierra

We have a bad case of the 3rd child over here. Sierra turned 3 weeks old on Friday and we've yet to post a blog about her! So, allow me to introduce Sierra Nicole! She is a precious baby and we have loved every minute over these past few weeks. When she cries, you know there is a problem. She's an amazing sleeper. Since birth she has frequently slept 5 hours at a time at night. Last night she went 7 hours. There is something to be said for having a big baby! She is very laid back. Loves to be held and cuddled, but is fine just laying in her bed looking around. Zeke and Kaiyah love her. They've both been sick this week and have been very sad that they haven't been allowed to kiss and love on her as much. We're so thankful to God for blessing our family with our sweet baby girl.
