Leap Party

Chip's mom had a party on leap day to celebrate this rare special day. I forgot my camera so she was nice enough to take some pictures for us.

  Like Calvin, Chip also likes banging on the windows.

Chip also likes banging on Calvin's head.

Chip's mom had a beautiful spread of food for us. Quite the hostess!

Their house also comes with medical care (Calvin had sliced his finger the day before and Chip's dad is an doctor so he was "gluing" his finger back together).

Even when caged, the kids have a great time!

Thanks for having us over Chip (you too, Christine)!

How Much is that Calvin in the Window?

I don't know what we would do if we didn't have these low windows!

Calvin is looking for what he can get into next!

On The Move

A few weeks ago we were at Chip's house and his momma let Calvin try walking with Chip's shopping cart. 

He loved it and within a few days, this is what we got:

Again, this  video can't be viewed on iPads or iPhones .Sorry!

Happy Birthday, Orson!

Calvin wanted to say Happy Birthday to his favorite 3 year old!

Happy Birthday to the best cousin and nephew!

 This was when we first met you!

And this was when you first met Calvin!

 And this is when we saw you last.

Hope you have a great birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!

Snow Days

It snowed last week so we finally got to take Calvin out in his sled. 

Had to get bundled up.

 Get strapped in.

 And go for a ride.

 Circles around in the back yard!

 We even made him a little hill.

 Up and down he goes!

 He had a little topple over and got to see the snow up close.

 Then we ventured out front for some city sledding.

 It was a pretty rough ride.

  The sledding acted like a stroller ride and put the silly boy to sleep.

It's snowing again tonight so maybe we'll get out again. 

Mmmm Ribs!

We went out for ribs with Grandma Sarah and Grandpa David.

 

 Calvin was happy that for once he wasn't the only one wearing a bib.

The Great Outdoors

Calvin and I went back to the nature center a little over a week ago for an "Audubon Babies" group.

 

Chip's mom organized the outing with the nature center.

 We have had such a mild winter so far and this was one beautiful day!

 We all strapped on our babies and headed out for a walk to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery.

 They had tapped one of the maple trees to collect sap for making maple syrup. They let us taste the sap. Maple syrup tastes better.

We got to meet another little boy from our same town that has the same birthday as Calvin (the other boy in a bear suit on the far left).

Thanks to Christine for working with the Audubon Center to get this fun day arranged! Can't wait for the next one!
