The day begins...

I went to pick up the kids this morning.

First, they two of them greeted me at the door by more or less flying-body-tackling me.

Then, as we were preparing to go, Nik asked me, "Daddy, are we going to rock and roll and shake that groove thang?"

Later, Abbey discovered that she really likes "Leslie Anne Levine" by the Decemberists.

And just now, Abbey informed rafaela that, and I quote, "boys are meatball-heads."

Yeah. They're my kids. Have I mentioned how much I love them lately?

Yeah.

Reason #528 Why I Love rafaela: When we're stopped at an intersection next to a greasy-looking biker dude festooned in a T-shirt reading, "Welcome to America. Now Learn English," she rolls down the window and cusses him out in French.
