Randomness

Peter was so funny in the hospital. After he had his surgery and was recovering in the ICU, he asked "when can I go back to my hotel room?" (he meant hospital room). Very cute. They both are growing up so fast. I am a little bit sad.

Octoberfest in May in Hawaii- what?

Peter has been taking a music class for the last year, Music Makers Around the World. His last unit was about German music culture and so they had an Octoberfest celebration at the end of the unit complete with food, dance, German songs, and drink (juice).

Honolulu Triathlon

Here are the boys cheering their dad on in the Honolulu Triathlon. They were pulled from their comfy beds at 4:30am to come drop dad off before the race. They made this awesome sign (with some help from mom) which was great to see coming in from one of the three legs.

All the support from the family really helped Dirk...so much so that he ended up 3rd in his age group. Ben accompanied Dirk to the stage and accepted the 3rd place plaque on his behalf (note Ben's PJs from the early wake up). Ben really ate up the attention.

Peter's Broken Arm

Peter broke his arm last Sunday climbing a fence at church. He had to have surgery and three pins/screws put into his arm. It was a level three break- the worst. He also spent the night in the hospital so that they could check him for nerve damage during teh night and into the next morning. He had one cast on for the first week until the swelling went down and this morning he got his new cast. It is very cool.
