melancholy
William said he felt "melonkely", so later I asked him what he meant. And then he said with a kind of tiredness, "it's melancholy daddy."

Parent / teacher night
The science teacher says William fidgets, but can pay attention. Andres can't pay attention when he's talking. I asked Andres about that and he says he tells others to "shush" when they talk to him, but they don't do that with him, and he needs their help. I told him to take responsibility for his actions.
Andres' teacher says I can come and read a book to the class, have it video taped and get a copy of it and the book. Sounds like fun. Andres fall asleep sometimes in school, and his sleep issues make it hard for him. He's going to be evaluated. Sometimes when I sleep next to him, I think, "breath, please!" He's trying to breath through his nose, and it's stuffed. He's improving on his writing.
William's teacher was happy with him. He's reading on almost a 2nd grade level, and doing good work. They're talking about authors as mentors.
The boys were very excited playing with Isaih and Camilo, Urpe and Kori, and others. Then their cousins came, Emma and AJ and baby Caleb. The boys had a lot of energy, and I bought them some books.

upstate pillow fight
I took my sons to visit a friend in upstate New York, who has children, and I recorded this video of a pillow fight, from the fall of 2010.
Santa Fe
In the summer of 2010, I took the boys to Santa Fe to visit their grandparents. They were playing with a soccer ball.
Andres breaks his record
In the summer of 2010, Andres took to seeing how many rungs he could swing across. On this summer day he did 6 and broke his record.
basketball video
William is 6, Andres is 5. They are in a church basketball league. Andres is the one in the yellow jersey, the other in a yellow jersey is a girl. It's kind of wild, they don't dribble the ball, they travel and whatnot, but it's a lot of fun. And I actually caught a score. William is lying down, in a red jersey. I think he was upset about the coach/referee not calling something his way.
