Our Political Climate

For our 300th post, I just wanted to take a minute and comment on the uncivil tone our political rhetoric has taken in recent days. Budget debates, involvement in another international conflict, and the continued culture wars - these are deeply divisive issues, but do we really have to make every conversation an opportunity to score cheap political points?

Me and Michelle were talking about this lately, and we both feel that the following video really gets at the heart of the way politics should be:





OOOOH, you and Oregon just got RICKROLLED!

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
