Young Craig

Young Cub

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. ;)

Camping In The Back

Camping In The Back

Yesterday the kids and I took the next step and camped out back. We started in the house a month or so ago. Next will be a real visit into the wilderness.

Earlier in the evening we hit a local restaurant with some friends of ours (Jorel & Samantha). Afterwards they came over and visited for awhile. By the time they left it was dark and the kids were primed for the tent.

We read a story, they played games on the DS for a little bit, and then we hit the hay. It was fun and the kids did great.

Sleeping on the ground is always rough. I slept kinda crappy, but the experience and bonding with the boys was fun. The kids themselves didn't seem to mind the ground at all and slept hard all night.

We woke up to a crisp, cool, damp morning and ate cereal outside. We're all looking forward to taking a real camping trip soon. Shelly, I think, will probably wuss out and stay home. We'll have to see how that works out.

Check out many new pictures from the camping trip and past few weeks over @ Flickr.
