Near and Far Faith

We got back this afternoon from a much needed vacation. We left Sunday afternoon for Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Everyone said it would be cold. It was... and we loved every second of it. Here's a picture journey of the trip:

After getting lost a bunch, Rory finally took the reigns and got us there.
We practiced our faces in the awesome apartment/hotel room Mom and Mark scored us.
Got re-addicted to coffee (kids don't sleep well away from home - but we still had fun)


We saw Plymouth Rock
Went to the children's Museum in Boston.Went to the Chatham BeachAnd drove all the way out to the tip of the cape - it was cold but Tate kept trying to get in

We had a blast. I love my family - they're my best friends. My wife - she let me tour the Sam Adam's Brewery in Boston. AAAAAAND... she let me drive an hour out of the way to see Gilette Stadium (where the Patriots play). I have coated her in gold and placed her atop my mantle as my greatest prize. She is mine.
The cool thing is we're still taking the next few days off as well to round out our vacation to a full week. I was thinking of checking out another church - but I think we're going to fully disconnect and play hooky. My family is cooler than church.

Just because it's been a while since I've posted and I wanted to get to 90 posts...

Today I was in the food store with Rory - my three-year-old (on Friday!!) and I was trying to teach her about money (Dave Ramsey's been rocking our financial world) and Rory took the $.50
I gave her for a donut and deposited it in the coupon slot in the self checkout - which is conveniently right at her hight. Then while I was holding her waiting for the self-checkout attendee, cashier manager, and store manager to figure out where the key was, she asked me to hold her booger. She actually said "Daddy will you hold my booger?" and handed me a decent size piece of nose putty. Yeah parenting.
