It is
always great visiting our son’s family in Omaha… David and his wife make a
great couple and parents plus our 2 grandsons are very close to perfect!
This is
a late spring view from the family’s back deck in the western portion of Omaha. That green space is a common area so it will
remain as is…a nice feature indeed.
With 2
boys who have a lot of energy to blow off, having a pool is a great
feature as well! Despite their love of
computers, gaming, smart phones and the like, they are both very active
physically… David III is 14 and Emmett Lee is 11 and amazingly they play well
together. Of course, that may change as
they grow a bit older…
Their
basketball games in the driveway at the front of their home are very
competitive! Emmett is the lay-up artist
and David II has mastered the free throw… Their dad works hard to beat them but
the time is coming soon when he’ll experience general defeat. I still remember when and where he finally
beat me in a race, and he was only 14 at the time.
Both
boys play soccer and they’re pretty good at it too! Back when I was growing up, almost no one
played soccer although the boy’s prep school that I attended was the exception
to the rule. I still prefer American
style football but it is fun watching the boys play soccer. David’s team this year was quite good. He also plays some basketball…a good thing
as he’s is getting to be very tall!
Emmett
Lee plays soccer too but his spring and summer sports passion…up until football
season…was track. He loves to run and
he’s won quite a few races. He is always
one of the most focused kids on the track.
What we like is that he is realistic.
He’s not particularly upset when he loses but rather he reflects on how
well he personally ran the race…
The
experts say that quality family time is extremely important and that; “The
family that plays together, stays together”.
The entire family went on a summer vacation to the Atlantis Resort on
Paradise Island in the Bahamas with some close friends. In this photo, Amy, Emmett Lee, David II and
David III are all suited up to go and play with the dolphins… The boys will
always remember this family outing!
One
last photo from the family’s back deck… We just like this photo of a storm
coming in with rain streaming down in the distance.
We’re really
looking forward to our next family visit to Omaha!
Just click
on any of the photos to enlarge them…
Thanks
for stopping by for a visit!
Nice looking back yard they have and great that they are involved in physical activities.
ReplyDeleteGreat family to be proud of Dave! Boys definitely keep things moving with all their activities! Have a great week!
