Gee Daddy this tree is almost as big as your rig!

walking with dillon

Hey Aunt Debbie, since you haven't seen Will walk yet, all these videos are for you. This one was right before walking on his own. Dillon and Will like to play this game where Dillon pushes from behind Will and Will drops down to his knees and slides along for a ride. Will is one tough cookie!

birthday cake - aftermath

man down

Walking for 2 wks

Maui!

Here are pictures from our trip to Maui. We weren't great about taking shots all the time, but here is a sense of what we were up to.

Will - monthly pictures

Boys monthly pictures

I made these albums but forgot to post them. Here are the boys monthly pictures up to age 1.

We're back

Pardon our brief hiatus...we have a new computer up and running now. Here is a big collection of photos from October - pumpkin patch, Will's bday, Halloween. Enjoy!

Technical Difficulties

We haven't forgotten about our blog, we're just having technical difficulties with the desktop I store our pictures and video on. So, until we fix it you'll have to settle for a written update. Will started walking today! Just in time for his first birthday. He took a couple steps in a row this evening. We'll practice up so he is cruising by the time Mike is back this weekend. Dillon is hilarious with the things he tells me...I'm too tired to remember today's funny comments but they usually involve correcting me or joking with me. Today we picked up some new puzzles at costco...smaller 48 piece ones that are actually challenging even for me. He loved doing each of them tonight and talking about all the images in each. That's it for now....

I give up.....

I'm sad to see Will get so big and lose the baby stage, but I won't miss taking these silly monthly pictures. Will must hate them and is determined to get the sign and none seem to show just how cute he is in person. I took dozens this last time and they are all mostly bad. I can't really find a good one, so for now, here are the worst and/or funniest of the bunch.









That one looks like he is singing opera, but look close and you can see his teeth coming in on the top/side.

Farewell Fine Friend

A year or so ago I posted this album of my favorite Belle pictures. I dug it back out. I miss her in all the ways I expected and many that I didn't. This house just isn't the same without her and I'm lonely as the only female now. RIP Belle, we miss you so so much and more than you'll ever know.

Willy

Here is Will at 5 months....
Now he likes to give great big huge smiles, slobbery kisses, puts any and everything in his mouth, keeps Mom jumping and worrying with a terrible face rash and an erratic sleep schedule, chills out and goes with the chaotic flow that is our life with Dillon. What a mellow happy little guy!

Another month goes by
