Catching Up

Amanda here. I just thought I would post some pictures and catch up on some things that have been going on around here.

Here is our little gardener, Callum. He loves working around the yard and especially watering all the plants, trees, grass, house, cars, himself... And he has not taken these boots off for weeks. Well, except to take a bath and go to bed. But he LOVES these boots. Best $7.00 ever spent - thanks Reny's!

Maira has been making some huge progress lately. She loves the jumparoo, which really shows in these next pictures. She is also getting really good at sitting up by herself and she is SO close to crawling. She gets up on all fours and rocks. I've even seen her lift up her knee - she is going to be on the move very soon!

LOVE this smile. What a beautiful little girl!

These next pictures are from Mother's Day at Graziano's Italian Restaurant. The whole family was there and Kelsey's parents and grandmother also joined us this year.

The bald eagle had to make it into this picture, of course.

A couple of pictures of Ba Ba and Maira.

Every year we go to Graziano's for Mother's Day and this year was no exception. However, I think we've all said that we'd like to do something else next year. It's too far away, the service is never that great, and truthfully the food is just OK. It's much better when you go at a less busy time. Like Friday nights when they have a jazz trio playing (and the keyboard player is the organist from our church).

Callum at home, doing his home things. Like playing with his trains...

and painting in his coloring book...

Hi Callum!
