We lost our #1 reader! R.I.P. Mom, we miss you. Here is the nice video tribute the funeral home put together.
I setup enwald.com as a birthday gift for my mom a few years ago and I plan on keeping it going. I have a backlog of photos to upload!
At the end of a fun filled visit from Andy, Amy and Anderson we treated ourselves to some tasty Mexican pudding.
This photo captured a good collection of the action. “Anders”, as Max calls him, is giving a nice wink. Max has made a good mess of himself. And my beer is almost empty. Good times!
I hope you all had an excellent Christmas and New Year. Will decided to end the season by eating Christmas.
Try and take that away from him! Now the holidays will be inside him forever.
I showed a live video of Max being recorded and he thought it was quite silly. He made faces at himself and giggled. I don’t know how this is any different than looking in a mirror but I thought I’d share it.

The snow arrived. A foot of it. The older three kids enjoyed the winter wonderland on their snow day. The playset still works in the winter!
Max helped me do one last pass on the raking.
He stuck with me for quite a while. I think he just likes being outside with Dad.
Grace decided to make dinner all by herself! Max and I were hungry and she fed us boys some “Fun” due.
Grace made it all by herself, I only had to help a tiny bit. She couldn’t find the 1tbsp measure, so I had to inform her that 1/2tbsp plus 1/2tbsp would work. Math!
Grace made dessert, too!
Max wanted to go for a walk on one of the last warm days we had. We took a stroll through the back yard and Max showed me how tall the trees are.
We took a break and sat on a newly fallen tree. It was a big one!
Ben had his friends Tristan and Max over for his 9th birthday party. Here is Ben getting ready to blow out the candles on his SpongeBob birthday cake.
Of course 9 year olds love video games. Up close.
We had pizza and the boys also watched “Up”, which was a hit. Our little Max tagged along as long as he could. They all played so well together! Grace stayed over at Aunt Nani’s house to avoid the chaos. Here is Max falling asleep in his lunch the following day, we all need some napping to get caught up on sleep.
Max thought all of Ben’s presents contained “Thomas” the train gifts. Smart kid, as a good percentage of Max’s birthday gifts were Thomas related. We’re done with birthdays in our immediate family for a few weeks. Up next – Christmas!
