RIP Cassidy

A lot has been going on here but most significantly Cassie died on Tuesday September 16th. She was a great pet and we miss her a ton. As the picture shows, Lucy and Cass had apparently become quite close...either that or Cassie got sick of trying to keep her away. Tammy was with Casssie when she died for which we are very grateful.

Breakfast Brothers

Making Lunches and Geocaching in Dayton

Recently the Reed Family spent a couple of days back in Dayton. We went geocaching at Tom Cloud Park and around Forest Ridge and then spent some time pitching in to make lunches at First Baptist.

Clinton County Barracudas

Last night was the Awards Banquet for the Clinton County Barracudas Swim Team. It has been amazing how much Caleb and Sophie have taken to swimming. They really love it. Looking back to those first few early morning practices when Sophie could barely swim and Caleb wouldn't get in the water, they have come so far. Caleb was given the Boys 10 and Under Coaches Award last night and they both received trophies. It looks like swim team will become a summer staple for the Reed Family Kids.

This video of Caleb was taken about halfway through the swim season.

a little photo editing...

Las Vegas Vacation Video

So Tammy and I went to Vegas for our 10 Year Anniversary. We went to see Cirque du Soleil's O, ate a ton of food, did some desert geocaching, and just spent some much needed time together.

Geocaching Intstructional Video

This is just a fun little video I made with my video students.

Best Burger Ever?

The kids have been impressing us by eating more and more foods lately. Our favorite meal right now is tacos and it is so nice having everyone at the table eating the same things. We have allowed Sophie and Caleb to start eating fruits in place of their usual 3 carrot requirement and they are responding well.



However we were quite taken aback when Sophie invented this sandwich herslf at lunch this past weekend. It you want to recreate it try turkey burger on pita with tortilla chips, hummus, and salsa stuffed inside. Sophie claims that it is amazing. When I own a restaurant someday it will be known as The Sophia Pita.
