20 Months

Two life-changing things happened this past month. 

The first: Aksel learned how to ride a bike. 

He's a new man. He's constantly beaming with pride, announcing his new skill to strangers, and riding circles around the playground shouting "Look at me!" to anyone who will listen. 

Stuttgart, Germany

Ben recently took a guys trip to Stuttgart Germany with three friends -- Matt Mullins, Nate Packer and Russ Andrews. 

They left on a Friday evening after work and drove the 3.5 hours into Germany, eating dinner at Tokio and playing Exploding Kittens until midnight. 

My first question when Ben returned was: who did you share a room with? 
His answer: Matt. 
My next question: I hope you wore pajamas. 
His response: Why would I wear pajamas? 

Sorry Matt.
