Here comes Peter Cottontail!

Easter has come again. Eggs. Candy. Toys. 

Merry Christmas!

End of Year Activities

Roger turned two on October 24.  Then, Halloween.  Calvin was a self-made "Army/Ninja Dude."  Roger was a fireman.  Next, my 34th birthday.  Next, Calvin's piano recital where I played a duet with him.  And the latest, Thanksgiving.  My parents were here for the piano recital through Thanksgiving.  Good times.

Forth of July 2008

We had a great time on the 4th of July.  We can watch a spectacular fireworks show right from our deck.  There were three parachuters that floated down to kick off the show.  We listened to music and danced around.  Calvin had a great time helping Dad set off the "ground" fireworks.  Roger oohed and aahed over some of the fireworks before he went to bed.  He miraculously slept through all the booming and music.  We let Calvin stay up until midnight.

Boys of Summer

Sum-Sum Summertime

What the heck -- it's already June 30th.  Slow down summer.  It's time to literally stop and smell the flowers.  We need to look around and take it all in.

Cleft Friends

I have been slow to do this, but I added a few of the cleft web sites of families that I have communicated with.  These are just some wonderful examples of little ones who have gone through the process and those that still have their first face.  The transformations and stories are amazing.  If anyone else happens to be on my site and would like their little one added, just let me know.

Digital Scrapbooking

I love digital scrapbooking.  But, it takes me almost as long as regular scrabooking because I spend a lot of time trying to make it "perfect."  Here is Roger at 9 months.  I love this photo!

School of Rock

I took Calvin to see the School of Rock Music play Pink Floyd's The Wall.  It was hands down the best thing I have seen in a long time.  Kids ages 6-18 were shredding their guitars and screaming the lyrics.  They sounded like the real thing.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter was about month ago now, but I just put up photos from the event.  Even though Roger already had his first Easter, this was really his FIRST Easter, as he was able to run around looking for eggs.  We put Teddy Grahams and Mini Oreos in his basket.  He also got a toy that lets you hit balls with a hammer down a hole throw a maze.  He is kind of our little Bam Bam, so this is a good toy for him. 

Calvin got a little ATM.  He puts all of his money in it and it adds it up.  He also has a little card so he can make withdrawals. 

We also went to the church egg hunt.  I got Roger to dress up, but Calvin would have none of that.  Roger was very cute at the church egg hunt as he discovered there was CANDY in the eggs.  He was dumbfounded as he looked at the candy and he almost couldn't move.

We found him sitting under a table quietly eating chocolate.  What a mess!  It turned into chocolate drool all over his face, clothes, hands, and even on the carpet.  There's no turning back once you've had your first taste of chocolate.
