I went and hung with my best friends Tyler and Ali today. They have two kids, Axel Jack, who is three and Sheridan who is barely one. I am known as their uncle Corey as we are like family.

Jack and I played a game of chess against the computer, which is not generally such a hard win for me, but he wanted me to ‘get’ specific pieces as he called them… so we ended up winning by taking out every piece one by one. It was cute, he would call out a rook, but not want me to get a pawn that was in the way. So, I had to devise ways to call out each piece, it was fun.

Shay decided she wanted me to read her stories and every time we would get to a horse or pony she would ‘nay’ like a horse. She is also learning to sign, and everything she signs looks the same right now. It is kind of funny to see her frustration when we don’t understand her. Jack learned to sign at about the same age, and it made communication so much easier.

I cannot believe how much these two kids impact my life. Gosh dang it, they make me smile. Anyway here are some pics of Jack and me making faces at my MacBook Pro… enjoy.
