Yesterday was Lincoln’s birthday.  To celebrate, we all went together in the Tesla to downtown LA, attended Lincoln’s music class, and then enjoyed the natural history museum.  I don’t know if I have ever been there before, but it was pretty enjoyable.  Best part was that I got to go in free, and mom already had a membership so she got in free too!  And the nanny pointed out there is free coffee!  Nanny A-yi is a perfect fit for our house because she loves free stuff.  If she knew how we went down to San Diego for a couple days and spent less than $100 she’d be so impressed.  That’s right, we went to Sea World.  It was actually a lot of fun.  It’s nice having kids that give you an excuse to go back to water parks.  Can’t wait till you guys are old enough and we can start riding rollercoasters.  But none of those spinning machines, I’m too old for that.

I had Navy drill today so I didn’t get to go to Melody’s birthday party but I heard it was fun.  You’re both really lucky that you have so many opportunities, but we need to make sure that you don’t get spoiled.  Lincoln, you need to stop hitting people, I mean it.  Don’t grow up to be a brat.  The entire internet is aflame right now over a Stanford kid who did some pretty bad things to a girl… worst nightmare is that we raise a kid incorrectly.  We all want our kids to go to a school like Stanford, but what is the point if they grow up amoral?  So anyway, that’s the big test we have before us.

Anyway, I need to go and print some more Recently photo magazines out.  With the internet you need to make a big effort to actually print photos out.  In my day, that was the only way you could see a photo, if you printed it.

Oh, I should mention that Carver, you started sleeping through the night in the last week… we are so happy!  Now your brain will get to develop more.  You are already very good with your hands, very curious and grabby.  That’s great.  You are attracted to screens too, I noticed, so we’re going to have to block those.  Sorry.
