If you want to feel seriously old, take your children somewhere, and photograph them where you once stood as a child. I'm sure there's a picture of Shawn in front of the T-Rex at the Prehistoric Gardens south of Port Orford as well, but I may have to search a while to find it. I wonder how many times this poor animal has been the backdrop for a photo opp. He is a testament to the longevity of paper mache, most definitely. Do not inspect my photo too closely - you will find numerous fashion faux pas, most notably my navy socks with sandals (this was probably uncool the mid1980's day it was taken). Thankfully, my hood is hiding a dreadful femulet. Perhaps someday, Chase and Hayden can post similar compare/contrast pieces on their blogs.

Shawn built a patio in our backyard this week. This is what they call, "helping Daddy." This looks strikingly similar to "helping" with other assorted chores. I wonder what the work force holds in store for them.
