Climbing

Carter has really taken an interest in climbing lately. Thomas found a climbing gym with lots of great stuff, including this climbing treadmill. We're curious to see how long his interest in climbing holds...

Why John May Never Walk Alone

In honor of John's birthday, I put together a short, un-fancy montage of a few recent videos of him. (Yes, the videos I did for Carter were much better, back when I had more time on my hands. Sorry, kid.).

The last clip illustrates why John may never walk alone...

John's First Birthday

John turned one on the 16th, and we had a small party for him yesterday. 

Waiting for cake

Cake!

He liked eating cake

The big kids got to open his presents after he went to bed

More from Mama Helen's Visit

Carter had "Mama Helen Camp" his last week and a half before camp started. They went to movies, museums, (McDonalds), and just generally had a grand time.
