Double trouble in the morning, before a long day of adventures

Eleanor hyped for the children’s museum with friends

Desmond trying to cut the pizza with some sort of wheel. He knows that’s why they invented scissors, right?

Showing off his tong skills

11:15am, time for a union break

Sitting in a real-life ambulance, circa 1974

Des doing his best Short Round impression

Sometimes her excitement fades to deep snoring

Desmond and mom painting on the glass

Big brother checking sister’s heartbeat (via the back of her head)

Good dental hygiene is important

After naps, it was the perfect February (?) afternoon to head downtown. Des threw gravel into the lake, though no geese were injured during the making of this photo

With several events in the area, Trini’s was about the shortest wait

If you have to wait somewhere, this is certainly one of dad’s favorite spots

Sitting on the street after dinner, eating macaroons… just like the beat generation

Almost more interested in the pumpkin in the  tank than the fish themselves, although it’s a good combo

On any given day, in-between all the various activities, there’s just a blur of motion-

As Nora is fond of saying, “My future is so bright, I have to wear sunglasses”

At the Waiting Room Lounge for the Omaha Girls Rock showcase. A music venue mom and dad have seen countless shows at and dad has even played at, a bit surreal for a family outing. As soon as the first band went on, Des was wearing his ear muffs without complaint or fuss.

Dixie Quicks (and dinosaurs) for dinner to kick off mom’s birthday weekend

With a little extra energy to burn before bedtime, it’s time for a quick visit to Bayliss Park
