A few weeks ago I posted Ella riding on her balance bike. That wouldn't have happened so soon, but she has a Daddy. I find myself being too schedule oriented. I like my lists and getting things done. She would still be riding her tricycle around now - but she has a Dad who says, you can do it. Lets go.
Well this weekend Darren spent some time with Tyler. Tyler is a very sensitive boy. I love that he loves to cuddle up with me, He loves to get hugs and kisses. But he hates it when Darren and I leave.
We went on a date earlier in the week, and Tyler was rather upset. So to make up for it, Darren took Tyler out on a ... date? I don't know what you call it- not a daddy daughter date- but something- is there a good name for a son outing?
They came back with doughnuts and STUFF from Home Depot. Several weeks ago they drew up plans for how to make a crane in the new club house in the back yard. This way, Tyler can lift things up and down from the upper level of the club house. (I believe he got the idea from watching the curious George show)
Now they finally got to start working on it. Notice they both have their gloves on, and this is serious- Tyler is into all this stuff 200%! Therefore I am grateful for Dads who know how to do that kind of .... stuff... with little boys!
They just asked me to help paint it before they finish putting it together. I can do that! Just add it to my list!
Here are the plans to their project.

YAY for Dads! THat is awesome. Can't wait to see the finalized crane.
Tyler you have a great dad, and Darren you have a great son. Is this going to be strong enough to lift Ella up? I can see her trying it. I copied the picture for the fridge. HEE HEE
Love your cute little family!
