Too funny not to share...

... and seems pretty accurate: Why Having a Toddler Is Like Being at a Frat Party
I especially like #'s 9 & 3. Thanks for the tip Heidi!

Finally some pictures!

Busy summer so far...
About a month ago we released our butterflies, which we grew from caterpillars in a mini-pavilion in our house. Thankfully it got warm enough in time to release them outside instead of having all of them live their lifespans within the pavilion (and me having to deal with ten butterfly corpses). The butterflies were very tame and would let you hold them, at least for the split second before they realized they were free.


This was an innocent butterfly that Maggie snatched up from the grass before he had a chance to fly away. We think he survived her manhandling.

Maggie loved the sparklers, as you will see.


Fire-breathing baby!

Learning how to hold it

Tjabe decided to let his frog Oliver have a turn at the sparklers

Tjabe

Today Tjabe exclaimed to his friend Austin: "I got a haircut! See, it's short, just like Daddy's but without the hole."
And on another note, I will try to post recent pictures soon.
