Sadness

Today for the first time ever Nate asked for his Daddy when he got hurt.  He was crying uncontrollably and wanted nothing to do with me.  I was unable to comfort him at all and TJ was working so unavailable to help.  Nate was stuck with me.  The big injury: his first bee sting.

The Boys Will Play

TJ just got back from a short fishing trip with a couple of his good friends:

Busy Month

July was an extremely busy month for the Muir clan.  We spent the weekend of the 7th and 8th with one of T.J.'s good friends at their house swimming and hanging out.  The next weekend my sister, Laura, and her boyfriend, Mitch came over for a night.  The big boys went fishing and Laura and I hung out at the house.  Then the big trip arrived, Kabetogama.  This family vacation is a blast for all of us and the boys can't get enough.  I could describe it all in detail, but I'll let the pictures tell the story.
