Holidays

We've been busy, hence not so many blog updates, so here's some pictures from our two Christmas's and a few random ones too!

Birthday pictures, stats, and humor

Pictures from Melissa from William's party, some great shots.  So nice to let someone else worry about catching all the photos!

William has his 4th year doctor's appointment this past week.  Height 45" (99.7%) and Weight 45.5lbs (96%), so a tall guy but well proportioned.  His ear tubes are starting to come out, per the doctor.  William and I were talking about it that night in the bath tub.  I was saying how he might have to go into the ear doctor to have the tubes taken out.  William turns to me and says "My Daddy told me all the ear doctors died."  I just about busted out laughing.

This "My Daddy told me..." business happens when Daddy isn't around so he can't deny or refute William's claim.  I told Adam about this at our lunch date this last week and he busted out laughing too.  William the four year old is trying to out smart us.  We've got a leg up on him for now, but it is only a matter of time.

What we're thankful for...

Thankful for family, for health, for love, for friends, for good food, and for good travel weather this past weekend.

William and Adam working on his Birthday Lego Plane.  And me getting in trouble for snapping a photo.

The cousins building Lego projects.

William and Keegan building with Grandpa's scrap wood.  Tape was used to bond all the wood together.

Fun at the park with balls, leaves and sticks.

Happy 4th Birthday William

We've come a long way in 4 years.  Being a parent is hard work, but very rewarding.  William is now much more independent with dressing, bathroom, eating, etc.  Such a grown up little guy!

We had a great party with lots of fun and good food.  It was a hit with young, old and those in between!

Pictures from my Mom's camera before and during the party....

And just a little trip down memory lane, what a little cutie.

Cold fun at the park

Grandma and Grandpa S came to visit and William had fun keeping them entertained and on their toes.  Will and Grandma were "apple buddies" in the evenings.

Today we headed out for some climbing exercise at the park.  It was cold so we only lasted about 30 min before heading home for cocoa.
