 Which of these is not like the others?

 Definitely Daddy's girl

 Count 'em--yes, four car seats...

 This is pretty much what we do all day.
 

 

Dad

My dad’s birthday is always on or near Easter. It seems especially fitting that this year it should fall in the week of sober days preceding the Resurrection. For at least five years he has wrestled with Alzheimer’s disease, and he now anticipates his own resurrection with more true hope for new life than anyone I know. Happy Birthday, Dad! I love you and can’t wait to enjoy an eternal Easter with you.

Life These Days

Plenty of stories

Snooze

Looks like one of the clan

Another generation of Crawfords is introduced to Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream, and approves.

Love this.

Our amazing midwife, Jeanne Hebl (she also delivered Jasper)

Miles meets Silas, and offers him a pony.

Jasper meets Silas and laughs and laughs.

Four men!

Miles couldn't be happier about this new person.

Miles Plays Soccer

Miles started a class called "Soccer Tots" a few weeks ago. Here he is in action:

"I smashed it into the goal!"

Running back to his "spot"--a plastic disk the kids sit on when waiting for their turn or listening to "Coach Joe."

Tipping the cones up after the kids kicked them over--practicing ball handling.

On his "spot"

Racing back after a goal!

Ball exercises

Miles's biggest fan--also a big fan of the playground near the soccer field.
