Father & Son

Matthew and Evan finally got around to doing the Home Depot craft project that Grandpa & Grandma Nielsen gave to us this summer. They had a lot of fun hammering and painting. Evan wants it to be his fire house for all his fire trucks, police cars and ambulances. Sounds like a good idea!

Tuppens a Bag

I guess I'm back logging a bit. Last week we went to Stowe Lake in Golden Gate Park and fed some of our old bread to the ducks. Well, we went for the ducks but it was hard to get past the pigeons and the crazy seagulls to feed the poor ducks. Evan invited his best buddy Hadley and they had a blast. Every once in a while all the birds would fly away and it scared us to death. It was like a scene from Hitchcock's THE BIRDS.

I have been doing very poorly on keeping family updated. Little Evan is not so little anymore and he is 100% boy. He loves to be outside playing with friends. He loves to play soccer and baseball.
Most of all he just loves to run around and around. I think he is excited for me to have the baby so I can run around with him again, poor kid. He's pretty funny too, always cracking Matthew and I up with the silly things he says. He likes to pretend he is a puppy dog or a kitty and of course I always have to be the mommy. He still loves to do art projects and is learning new things everyday. We got a toddler computer game for him and he loves it, but decided he wanted to play the preschool one instead and I'm amazed to watch him manuever the mouse and figure the games out. He's almost mastered the preschool game now and it's for kids 3-5. It's just fun to watch him. We'll be starting preschool after our spring break and I think he's going to absolutely love it. I'm excited for him. He's just growing up everyday and I'm so grateful that I get to stay home with my little buddy and be so much a part of his life. Thanks Matthew!

It's been a while

I haven't ever tried to use this, but figured I should make an effort. So, we're all doing well. Evan and I are sick and Matthew just started his last week of school for this quarter. We're looking forward to a long and boring week. That's about it!

Big News

As you may have heard. We are going to be getting a new baby here soon. Well hopefully not too soon. Bethany thinks it is a girl. I have no idea. We are all three of us very excited

My first bike ride to school

I finally rode my bike to School today and it was actually very nice. SF is a bit hilly though so it was a bit tough. It was actually very nice to ride through the presidio forest, and then the city. Very pretty. Here is a picture of the view from the presidio.

First Post

Hey,
I saw Mike and Heidi's little blog site and since I have no time to update my website lately, I thought that this might be a fun way for Bethany and I to satiate that odd human desire to be known by complete strangers on the internet.
