While Jalyn was away...

While Jalyn was away I had the honor of being with Marin for 2 days and 2 nights all by ourselves. I took time off of work so Jalyn could go to the Grace Family Church ladies retreat. Marin and I both miss her, but we managed to have tons of fun and do tons of stuff as you can see by the pics below.

Here we are at the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Marin keeps making fun of me because of how scared I looked in this picture, but those bulls are a lot bigger in real life!


Here we are skydiving for the first time. Traditionally, they would make you jump in tandem the first time you go, but Marin explained to them that she has tons of experience falling and knew everything we needed to know. They trusted her, so here we are at five thousand feet. Cool, huh?
In reality, we went to Home Depot, went to the park and downed a few bottles in between. I had Brian Baxter over on Thursday night and dinner with Hugh Butler on Friday night...which made the evenings go so much quicker. If these two days are any indication of what everyday with an 11 month old is, then Jalyn deserves a BIG raise! Raising kids is tough!
plz note: the above photoshop job is purposely done poorly so as to not fool anyone into believing that I actually put Marin in danger.

I'm so glad you said the pictures where photoshopped... I was like "Stephen took Marin skydiving? and to Spain?" Got scared Jalyn would never go on the ladies retreat again ;)

I am glad to see that becoming a dad has not stunned your humor. And yes I agree Jalyn does deserve a raise along with everyother mom aout there. Love and miss you both!
