Button Counting

While helping the children get dressed for church this morning, this fun song popped into my head. We sung it so much before church, that it became quite stuck in our minds. The children and I decided to put this little film together because we loved the song so much:

Who knew buttons could be such fun?

The Little Kitten

Last night, my six-year-old (and I) wrote a book. He loves kittens, so we wrote about a little kitten, and called it The Little Kitten.


It's a fun story; take a read (link here).

New Family Website

We have a new, but not really improved, family website! Really, all we did was change our domain to SilerFamily.org.

Doctor's Orders: Ice Cream!

At a recent doctor's appointment (our first for our forthcoming fourth child, ultrasound picture below), while going through the long list of dietary considerations to be aware of, I asked if we (mostly my wife) could still have ice cream. The response was an enthusiastic Yes! In fact, we were told the benefits of ice cream to expecting mothers. Being the supportive husband that I am, I plan on increasing our ice cream consumption. . . I guess that will be the main source of sympathy weight this time around!

On the ice cream vein, we took a tour of Amy's Ice Creams, an Austin original, today with our daughter's preschool group. I was happy that I got to go play, too. In fact, we also brought our friend (who is also my colleague from work) and our little girl loved having a big friend with her.


As opposed to other food factories where after going you might want to never eat again (e.g. meat packing plant), the ice cream factory whetted our collective appetites for ice cream.


With the doctor's orders and the renewed desire for the creamy treat, I know what I'll be craving for days (and possibly weeks) to come!
