Steven, Crystal, and Auntie Kali

Crystal was soooo excited to color with Dylan

I'm sure we can find something better to do.

Aha! I caught you crochetting again.

Boy is he fast.

I love you so much Auntie Kali

Nanna found that it was much easier to clean up a spill with Dylan lending a hand.

Now, you tapdance on the towel.

This ride sucks.

Weeeeee. This one's alot a fun.

Killing time at Dick's Sporting Goods. Imagine that. He found the Lightning McQueen bike to ride.

We visited Kevin at his new bike shop, not pictured, off of Verona Rd. It's a non-profit shop that offers used bikes from as little as $30 for kids bikes and up. You can even donate bikes for a tax deduction. Oh, the possibilities, Tricia's already excited!

Log walking and hooting like an owl at the Arboretum.

Reading National Geographic and taking some time for himself, it's tough being a toddler these days. (Judging from his facial expression, he might be able to read after all, that issue had alot about global warming. Since, he has refused to ride in the car, is very insistent about riding his tricycle everywhere, and has offered up a number of choice words to describe our current administrations apparent distaste for our environment. So far my favorite is poppycock.) He's growing up so fast!

Uncle Smiley....I mean DeDe turned up this weekend to hang with the fam and offer a new jungle gym toy. Thanks for the baby Elmo doll, it hasn't stopped crying or eating since you left.

Jump, Jump, Jump. I'm a froggy.

Oh, Daisy. I love you.

I love you too, Nanna!

Brunch at Nanna's, cooking and childcare.

More blocks with Dede

Auntie Kali never sleeps well away from home.

Dylan's a quick study. I didn't even have to tell him the proper way to carry a baby. He just picked it up by watching me.

X-mas at Nanna's

Nanna used all the peanut butter for cookies. So, Dylan had a jelly sandwich.

Uncle Dede, Auntie Kali and Dylan playing with blocks.

Dylan on his first horsey ride.

Dylan after he fell off the horsey for the first time.

Tricia explaining to Crystal how Santa fits down the chimney.

Just woke up from his nap.

Hangin' with Auntie Crystal.

From the Vault

Here are some photos from the conventional camera (none digital). Starting in July at a Mallards game and ending last weekend.

Uncle DeDe and Auntie Plaaa

At the Cedarburg Winery Gift Shop.

Saturday morning we headed to Cedarburg for lunch, shopping and visiting with DeDe and Plaaa.

Thanks DeDe for the all the wonderful toys. Dylan hasn't stopped throwing the bouncy ball (or golf ball) around the house since we got home.
