Happy Father's Day, Jason!

Dear Daddy,

We love you so much! We love the way you make us giggle, and how you'll play tag and Hide 'n Seek with us. Thanks for being such a fun dad, and for working so hard for us. Happy Father's Day!

Love, Chelsey, Emily, Ryan, and Mommy

We love our Daddy!

We love our SILLY Daddy!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Railroad Days Part One

Railroad Days in a big annual event here in Omaha! We decided to go with our new friends the Wilsons and had so much fun! There were five museums to choose from, and we made it to TWO before the kids were too tired, but I think we chose the best ones. We started at Lauritzen Gardens where the model trains were set up and the kids got to do several kid crafts.

My favorite part - a miniature carnival complete with Ferris Wheel and bumper cars

Making railroad necklaces

Riding the train with our new friends Ellie, Payton, and Brenda

See you later, Daddy!

Railroad Days Part Two

Riding the bus to the Durham Museum in the old Omaha Union Station,

which was a stop on the TransContinental Railroad

Riding the train and saying, "Cheese!"

The kids FAVORITE part of the day

Too funny for words!

Omaha Children's Museum

Look who we got to meet! It's Super Why!

Ryan loved posing with Big Bird

This big nose "sneezed" on you whenever it "smelled" pepper - Ryan loved it!

Emily and her good friend....er, I mean grouchy friend Oscar!

A place filled with balls to play with -- has Ryan died and gone to heaven?!
