Here is a milestone for a parent. The first time your kid(s) does serious damage to your house. Not just coloring on a wall or spilling something on the carpet. I mean possible structural damage. Kyler likes to pull all the paper off the rolls. I don't know if Austin was trying to clean and be helpful or what, but he decided to flush all of it down the toilet. He then walked away without telling anyone. By the time Sarah discovered it, the entire hallway was soaked and the water seeped through the floor and into the basement bathroom through the ceiling. Since I was at work, Sarah and Kade did the best they could to minimize damage. They used all or our towels and a lot of pots. After a few days of fans on the carpet, it is just a memorable milestone.

So here is one of my proud moments as a dad. Kade took a step towards manhood and learned to skip a rock. Now everytime we go to a river or lake, Kade is looking for a "good" skipping rock. He's pretty good.
