For Fun

Fun Family Facts

• Richard will eat most anything.
• We go to the mountains more than the beach. They are both 2 hrs from home.
• Rebecca spent a year in Argentina and learned fun words like pibe and quilombo.
• Richard is writing his own programming language.
• We like the idea of gardening, but so far have killed more plants than we've eaten.
• We used to own rabbits, but a dog is probably in our future. Dalton wants puppies.
• We have 4 strollers, 2 of which Richard and Dalton have broken."Go faster, Daddy!"
• While we were engaged, Richard owned 7 computers. Rebecca encouraged him to reduce that number before the wedding. We have more now...
• Cedar has called 911 more times than Richard.
• If Dalton could drive, the first thing he'd do is hunt down an ice cream truck (since we refuse when he asks us to go searching for one).
• El cuarto de Dalton y Cedar tiene estrellas que brillan en el oscuro. Una de las primeras palabras que decía Cedar fue estrella.
