Grace's first contract

Grace handed me this "contract" and told me that I owed her $200.  She said that I wrote it last night and was really tired (which is why it looked a little messy).  If she wants to follow in my footsteps, she would make a great attorney.

Playing meeting

I have to be careful or else I am going to create the geekiest children.  When I opened my conference room door, Kate turned around and said "we playing meeting!"

Fierce competition at the work place

I asked Grace to help me with something (getting something off the printer).  All of a sudden Kate comes ripping into my office and says: "I help you Daddy.  I the goodest helper.  I brave.  Gracie shy."  If the kid works on her grammar she may have a future here at the law office."

What Kind of Meeting?

While their mother was out of town on business last week, I had the opportunity to have the girls spend some time with me in the office.  I did tell the girls that I had a couple of meetings so they had to be very quiet.  Grace (age 6 mind you) asked, "are they signing meetings or the other kind of meetings?"  For those not familiar with my terms, a signing meeting is when a client comes to sign their estate planning documents.  Grace said she wanted to know because "the signing meetings are a lot shorter than those other kinds of meetings."

When a Kid Can Read

I sometimes let the girls play on my iPhone (usually if I need to keep them quiet).  Much to my surprise I caught 6 year old Grace scrolling through my calendar.  When I asked her what she was doing (thinking she hit the wrong button and was trying to get back to her game), she responded "I just want to see what you are doing."

The Whole Crew

We had a chance to have all of the kids in the office today (two of mine and two belonging to my assistant).  Except for a few water spills, it went well!

Dad's Lil Assistant

While Grace has been in school, I have been able to spend a lot more time with Kate in the office.  She has really enjoyed it and is even disappointed when she does not get to "go to work."

Concentrating on some important work

When Kate sees a piece of paper appear on a printer, she feels an immediate urge to deliver it to someone.  She does not only work for her Dad, but she helps everyone in the office.
