Photos and videos from Jessica’s iPhone
Well this was a treasure trove! Jessica had to get rid of her iPhone recently ’cause it broke, but before she did I downloaded all the photos and video. So much good stuff! Here are a slew of great pictures and at the bottom (or here) I posted a video compiling the best clips.

Thanks, Mr. Rogers
Amazon Prime has all the old Mr. Rogers shows available for streaming. PBS only airs it once a week and they don’t air them in consecutive order so it’s hard to understand what’s going on in the make believe section. We made a rule over the summer that the kids could watch a couple tv shows a day but the one in the morning always had to be Mr. Rogers. There was intially some protest but then it just became one of those things in life you don’t question. Mr. Rogers, as we all know, is an extraordinary human being and it feels my heart with warmth when I watch our kids sitting on the couch super engaged as he talks about feeling angry. Or making food for Panda bears. Or whatever else. I trust him completely and am grateful to him for helping raise our kids 🙂
Anyway, all this to set up a tiny little audio clip Jessica just sent of Netta singing one of his songs.

Talking heads
I was sitting on the couch and the boys started poking their heads through my leg super weird. So we started taking little Vine videos.

Papa won an Emmy
I won a fancy Emmy award last night. It’s not THAT big of a deal really, tends to sounds more impressive than it is. But it’s my first ever and makes me proud! It was the story below on a couple extraordinary parents. Also sharing a couple fancy photos of me and Jessica.
