Daniel’s New Favorite Book
Daniel’s two favorite things are:
- Reading Books
- Disney/Pixar’s Cars
So you can imagine his delight when earlier this week in the mail we got a package from Eric’s parents which included: Disney-Pixar Cars: The Essential Guide & Sticker Book. Daniel LOVES it. We were excited to show it to him so we took pictures and recorded the event:

Eric’s Lucky Shirt
There is a shirt that has been with Eric through many of the most important events in his post-mission life.
The day he proposed to the love of his life who agreed to become his future wife,
The day his son Daniel was born,
and of course, the day he saved Daniel’s life from a hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex.
I think everyone would agree that this is a very special and very lucky shirt. Last night Daniel secretly decided to test the limits of this shirt’s luck by sneaking a neon yellow crayon in the dryer. This action triggered the Great Laundry Disaster of 2011. Only one article of clothing managed to escape the terrible staining caused by the melted yellow wax. Can you guess which one it was? Of course, it was none other than Eric’s lucky shirt. Does this shirt posses magical properties? Who can say? I for one believe that this shirt is destined for great things.
Incidentally, does anyone know how to remove melted crayon stains from clothing?

Portal 2 Party
Shantell and I have been looking forward to playing Portal 2 for months now. It is a hilarious sci-fi puzzle/adventure game with amazing graphics and physics. We pre-ordered it on Amazon and got it Tuesday (the day it came out). We played it all night on Tuesday and then beat it on Wednesday. It’s a great game!
You should play it.
Shantell even came up with the great idea of making Portal Pancakes for dinner on Tuesday. MMMmmm.
You might notice that there are TWO kinds of syrup. Cold Mrs. Butterworth’s for me and warm Log Cabin for her. Pancakes just aren’t the same without the proper syrup and we each prefer the syrup we grew up with.
Here’s a preview of Portals 2 in case you haven’t heard of it. We loved it!
