Volleyball

Calvin's first Badger volleyball game. In honor of his 3 week birthday the Badger's won!
He didn't to see much of the game because he spent most of the time eating. Oh well, at least Mom got to watch the game.

a few more Calvin pictures

This was my first time holding Calvin. He was 45 minutes old.

Changing yet another diaper. The gloves were just a joke. There were boxes of them all over the place at the hospital, so I thought I would amuse Rachel by wearing a pair.

The whole family just before leaving the hospital to go home on Monday.

Sunday picture

Calvin has been chilling on the tanning bed when he's not eating today. The hardest part for us is not being able to hold him whenever we want. He likes to squirm around and do yoga poses while he's in there. Rachel says these are the same exercises he's been doing for the past several months.

Saturday Calvin Pictures

This is Calvin on Saturday wearing his 12 month onesie. We're going to take a picture of him in the same outfit on his first birthday to compare to this picture. He wasn't very happy to have dad changing his clothes for the photo shoot, but he was fine as soon he was bundled up and warm again.

Calvin on his birthday

This is Calvin after his first bath. He's just over 3 hours old in this picture.

Catsup bottle and chairs

World's largest catsup bottle.
Big blue chair and a very tiny step stool.


Dan looks like a giant in a normal size chair after seeing him in a big blue chair!

Monk's Mound. It is estimated to contain 22 million cubic feet of earth, covers more than 14 acres, and rises to a height of 100 feet. It took 300 years to complete and was eventually named for the monks that lived near the mound from 1809-1813 and farmed the terraces of the large mound.

The open area across the road was the Grand Plaza when the Cahokia lived here beginning in AD 700.
Resting half way up!

St. Louis Arch and Sheep

Cute sheep at the Botanical Gardens.
Getting ready to go back down the arch.
View from the top.
Supposedly you can fit 5 people in the tram but even with 4 it was a tight squeeze.
Me at the arch!
