One of my favorite parts of being a parent is seeing Enoch and Michael succeed. Their accomplishments probably mean as much to me as they do to them. I can tell how proud they are of themselves and how much they want to show off to me and to feel validated.
Enoch has been getting a lot better at his glider bike recently, and it's been a lot of fun to see him improve.
The next 2 shots are great because they show off Michael's muscles. He loves to do anything he sees his brother doing. If Enoch makes an obnoxious noise, Michael thinks he's the coolest kid around if he can do it too. If Enoch is mean and tells Mom or Dad to stop talking / singing, then Michael chips right in and tells us to stop talking too. Michael follows Enoch around on the playground, and we thought this ladder would be too advanced for him. He eventually got really good at it, but I like the following 2 pictures because it shows how strong his arms are. At one point he was doing a dip.

| We rode to a park near our house, and I found it remarkable that there were no other kids playing. We drove by today, and there were also no kids playing. How are there no kids playing at a park on a nice Saturday and Sunday morning? It reminded me that there really aren't many young families who live around us. |
This isn't the best picture, but it's off a fire ant hill. Houston is swarming with these things, and their bite is nasty.
Also a few pictures from a trip to the park:
