What Superhero Are You?

Turns out I am mostly Superman. I think I screwed up the first time I took it because it said I was Robin initially. Me acrobatic? It didn't sound right so I took it again answering as fair as possible.

Cade was Flash. Cale was Green Lantern. Shelly was also Green Lantern.

Pictures Posted

You getting ready for the New Year? I posted many new pictures including several taken over Christmas. Here is a picture of the Gingerbread House that we made over Kelly's a couple weeks ago. It's an annual event for us. Unfortunately we had to leave early as it was getting late. They did a great job finishing it up if I do say so myself. Milly, their dog, helped herself to one of the trees Cale put up. You'll see the hole in the front left hand corner.

Christmas Is Coming...

The kids are excited and can't wait for Sanata to come. We have been tracking Santa via NORAD. It appears most recently the Big Man has just visited Egypt. Anyway, tonight it's off to my parents for some dinner, luminary, and gift giving.

Tomorrow the kids will enjoy playing with their piece of coal. :) Nah, they've been good kids this year overall, aside for driving us crazy every now and again. But that's par for the course as I am training them on what they need to do when they get married. :) I'm great at driving the wife nuts. Santa leaves me coal every year. :)

Have a great Christmas everyone! I'll post some pictures of our holiday soon.

Singing Christmas Carols

Today was the daycare Christmas party in which the kids sang a few songs, ate some food, and exchanged gifts. Everyone had a great time. It's funny watching the kids grow up while Sherry (daycare provider) takes care of them. Cade is now one of the oldest kids there, where once he was just a very young toddler.

After the party we headed to Kelly & Co. for the annual Gingerbread House. I was part of the usual roofing team. We had to bail before it was finally finished so the kids could get to bed. I'll post some pictures when I can get some of the house completed.

Previous to today's events, Cade has his Christmas tournament in karate. It's not an official tournament with awards but really something for fun that his karate school does. He was paired up with students on the same age & belt rank. There he took first against the same boy in both kata and sparring. Taking first in sparring was special for him because he hasn't done that well up until this point. You could tell he was always holding back. At home he would tear me up, but with other students he would lose the fire. It was even worse when he sparred a girl. :) But this tournament he came out aggressive, as I always ask him to, and took first place.

Young Craig

Here we have an old picture of yours truly. Cale thought it was a picture of Cade. :)

Anyway, I'm not exactly sure how old I am here. Maybe my mom has a better idea... Any ideas mom? I'm going to guess 8.

The picture was taken from a very cheesy Christmas ornament that I made while I was in the Cub Scouts. We lived many placed while I was growing up, but I think this was actually one of the other times I lived in Dover.

Ladies... You gotta love a man in uniform. ;)

A Visit To Longwood Gardens

Yesterday the family headed to Longwood Gardens in PA, just outside the Delaware border. It's something I have been wanting to do with Shelly since before the kids were born. It wasn't until now that we finally went.

The gardens are inside and outside, so weather is important. At this time of year they throw up the lights and everything is real pretty. Cade & Cale's favorite thing about the trip was the fountains, which were accompanied by music and lights. Both of them had a great time and are looking forward to visiting again.

Check out lots of pictures over at Flickr. There are two pages of new photos that include a silly string fight, raking leaves, Thanksgiving, opening early Christmas gifts, and Longwood Gardens.
