hangin' with uncle christian

above: three teenage boys playing with sidewalk chalk with my son - he just has that effect on people

one of luca's absolute favorite parts of last week was hanging with his uncle chris. each morning he would wake up and ask, "where chistin?" i would reply, "where do you think uncle christian is?" he would smile and say, "work!" i guess sophomore year is pretty grueling. :-)

(sidenote: i am not a big sideways smiley face type of person but they have their place. i felt the need to include one in a post today because it is the 25th anniversary of the first sideways smiley face either. i am not a random trivia person, just heard it on the radio this morning.)

although all of my pics from last week are available for viewing on picasa, i wanted to highlight a couple.
