Seth's 5th Birthday

It has been a hectic past few months. I have had only a few minutes each weekend to do anything on the computer so I haven't had much time to compose the normal video and picture upload that I do. I do have about 30 minutes of un-edited video that I need to go through but that will have to wait a few more weeks.

Seth had his 5th birthday (click here to view the pictures) this year. As usual he got a ton of airplanes toys. He is really big into rubber band airplanes right now. Although he is getting picky. The airplanes must have landing gears so that he can do take-offs and landings. If they don't have em, he doesn't want em. He has also gotten me into model aiplane building as well. Right now we are at the balsa wood rubber band stage, but I am expecting to go to the R/C level soon.

Seth started kindergarten a few weeks ago. The school is much more advanced than I expected it to be. I am in constant contact with the teacher via email and they have a computer lab the kids get to use each week. On his first day of school the teacher assigned him homework! The teacher told us that kindergarten is now like what first grade was for us.

We recently got a YMCA membership so that the kids and I could go swimming. Thatcher really loves it, and Seth is warming up to it. He loves swimming with me, but doesn't like putting his head under water. We get about 4 hours a week which is good for me since I don't get much exercise these days.

Enjoy these random summer pictures and look for my video upload soon.
