Pipe Dream

Some of you may know that back in the day Jude skateboarded. It was something he enjoyed doing, but he never really got into it too much. However, he always dreamed of having a half-pipe. So, he got online and found some plans and started working on it a few weeks ago. He finished half of it this past weekend. When it is done it will be twice as wide. This has not stopped him and the girls from enjoying it anyways. Lisi was the first one to try it out.

To come:

Jude throwing down massive tricks. Ummm...maybe not massive. And "thrown down" might more accurately describe the outcome. Love you babe.

Too Cute

A few weeks ago Evie started crossing her eyes. At first I thought she was just playing around. But after three weeks it just kept getting worse and worse, so I called the doctor and made an appointment. Evie actually did really well at her visit despite having to get her pupils dilated and people constantly shoving things in front of her eyes. (Thanks Meg for sending me a few e-mails to help me prep her for the visit!) The doctor said she was farsighted but that it should correct itself over time. Until then she would need to wear glasses. So, we went to Target's optical center and Evie picked out her "princess" glasses (I had to get her excited about it somehow). She has been wearing them now for over a week now and is doing so much better. She is really good about keeping them on. And of course we had to get Lisi a pair of "princess glasses," too!

You cannot have too much Lord of the Rings

This is pretty cool. An independent not-for-profit Lord of the Rings prequel was created by die hard fans. It comes out on Sunday (3 May 2009) free to download and enjoy at your own discretion. The quality of the video appears to be amazing.
Watch the trailer, my preciouses.
