Like sand through an hour glass...


First day of preschool 2014
                                                           Last day of preschool 2015



Riding the cart Dan built down the hill in the backyard.   
 Pushing cart back up hill. 
Punching baby (baby is doing the punching not being punched). 

There are a number of houses for sale in our neighborhood right now.  Calvin wanted to know if the brown house across the street is going to be for sale when he is an adult so that he can live there.  Apparently he wants to live close to Dan and I when he's an adult but wants to have is own house.  Good thing because he really wants a dog and as you all know I do not like dogs.  Tonight at dinner we were talking about the different schools in our town and how college comes after high school.  Calvin seemed impressed that you can go to college any where in the world and study whatever you want to study.  He also seemed to be under the impression that we will be going with him to college.  I'll ask him again in a few years if he still wants us along!

Spring

 7 months old!  Wesley has his first tooth and more on the way.  His favorite foods are mango, pears, mango and pears mixed, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes mixed with mangoes, and squash.  He loves to laugh at his brother and once the two of them get going it's hard to stop!  He also likes to bang his cup on the tray of his highchair just for the fun of it.  He loves to roll over and find toys that babies shouldn't play with such as Hotwheels cars.  He isn't crawling yet but he can pull himself along and get to toys that are just beyond his reach.  He loves taking walks and laughs when the wind blows in his face.  He loves to be read to and starts laughing and kicking his legs when books are brought out.  He likes to turn the pages of books but doesn't like it when he closes the book on his fingers.  He also likes to chew on books and just about anything else he can get his hands on. 

 First day of the t-ball season.  Dan is coaching Calvin's team this year.
