Daddy moments

Since graduation one of the things I've cherished most is being able to spend a little more time with Tracy and the kids. Jaden, being a little older and more able to express himself, has really shown his excitement at having Daddy around more often. Here are two such moments I thought I'd share from this past weekend.

1) Learning to cook. His first dish: homemade lasagna. In celebration of our friend's new baby, Jaden helped me make a lasagna to take over to them (congrats again Rob & Jody!)


2) Nap time. A beloved tradition around the Kruse household, I don't often get to partake in because of my work schedule. Yesterday, however, Tracy let me catch a few winks and Jaden asked me to lay down with him. I didn't know this before, but Tracy and J have a tradition of holding hands as they fall asleep for naps together (I believe it started as a ploy to get the little guy to stay still). Needless to say, I loved it...

Very cute. Cooking seems to be the thing for boys and Dads...my boys LOVE to bake with Josh. In fact, I think they seriously doubt that I even know HOW to make bread or cookies, since those are the "Daddy and boys" favorite recipes. I had to sternly correct their impression that the mixer was "Daddy's". Clearly, it's mine:). I just let Daddy use it.
