A long walk

She'd rather walk than ride these days. So she walked...


and walked...

A Step

I didn't know when I built this stool in high (or middle?) school shop class that my daughter would be using it 20+ years later. Neat.

The Circus!

Planned an afternoon at the circus, but kept our expectations low. Last year after all Violet took a nap in the middle of the show. But this year was different. She's 18 months old, and curious, and AWAKE...she had a fantastic time - really engaged and smiling and clapping. Couldn't have asked for a better day or a better daughter.

I walk through the park on our way to the circus...it's 100+, so can't wait to get inside.

Play "Date"

Dion came over to play recently, and it was fun as usual. The difference this time was that Cheryl and I both noticed that Violet and Dion were starting to really interact and play together. Super cute to watch.
