Mad

Daniel was mad the other day.

Fun

Daniel was able to see his friend Cora the other day. They did a great job playing nicely together, and even managed to squeeze in a hug for the cameras:)

Daniel and Cora :)



Daniel has enjoyed his time outside during the sunny days. His pool and soccer ball have been a big hit. And apparently so has eating Mommy's chives!

Talking Baby

Daniel and I were walking to the lake the other day and happened to pass by a dad with his 3-4 year old daughter. As we passed each other the little girl accidentally dropped one of the toys she was carrying. Daniel noticed this and, just as we went by, he exclaimed, plain as day, "UH OH!"

We continued to walk by and I heard the little girl turn to her daddy and say, "Daddy, I didn't know babies could talk!" I could only imagine the interrogation the dad got later as the daughter questioned why he never told her babies could talk:)

Fr. Daniel?

It's been fun seeing Daniel get to know the priests at our church, Blessed Sacrament. In fact, Daniel has taken quite an interest in the religious life.

Here's Daniel during his first discernment meeting in 2007 with the Dominican Vocation's Director, and good friend, Fr. Steven - the priest that married us.

Daniel: "Fr. Steven, how much time do you get for naps when you're a priest?"

Here's Daniel getting a run-through from another good friend, Fr. Jordan, on how to operate the confessional.

Daniel: "Now which one of these switches gives people their penance?"

Bearded Baby

Daniel had some fun in the bath with Mommy's shaving cream the other day. We knew Daniel was growing up fast, but we didn't think this fast!
