We had the pleasure of having my brother and his girlfriend visit this past weekend. These are not the greatest pictures, but I think they capture a bit of the spirit of their visit. Uncle Nathan sure is rowdy! and fun! and sometimes inappropraite! Tee Hee! So much credit, however, for not dropping even
one F Bomb!!
Where's Riley? Where's Duke? Dios Mio, man!
Under the table, giggling uncontrollably!!
These "atomic blasters" are an amazing amount of fun. We gave them to everyone on Christmas and had massive multigenerational shoot you in the butt sessions! They got put away until this weekend, and then put away again. Let's just say we have issues about toy guns and children... guns are for special occasions! Well, it does get annoying being shot with harmless styrofoam rockets continually once all the guests have left. I really don't think this is doing any harm. I have such great memories of playing with nerf shooters as a kid. I didn't join the army! Maybe I'm afraid I'll have a son who does, and I'll look back at this as where it all started! Really it is all fun until I see Riley, or even Davey, holding the "shooter" just like a gun and firing with glee. Oh, but I digress...there is no right or wrong. I just hope that the larger context of what we are trying to teach him about how to be a good person is enough to keep this innocent.

Tio,
did i spell R's name right?
Love 'em, Crazy M -- a great vicarious peek into the zaniness that Uncle Nathan (Duke?) always seems to bring to the table, and for that I say hooray (and no F bombs? alright!).
And I am not Tio, but yes, you spelled Rachael's name correctly....
the duke abides.
