Waterboy

After looking at all the butterflies I had to get some serious work done. A butterfly has to drink too!

Butterfly Garden

After daddy went back to work, Meme, Mommy and I went to the butterfly garden. Butterflies are really cool!

The Maize Maze

While Babo, cousin Tal and I were in the corn maze, Cora hung out outside with Aunt Nilly and Uncle Todd.

Pumpkin Clan

We went to a pumpkin farm near Meme and Babo's house. The coolest part was a hay ride around the farm.

Battleship

I sank my Battleship!

Helping Hegel

Daddy's friend, Christopher, aka Hegel, came up for the party again. I had to show off my wheelbarrow skills and help out.

Lawnmower Boys

The annual pilgramage would not be complete without a ride, or 10, on the lawnmower with Babo and cousin Tal. Someday I too will have a lawn worthy of this mighty machine!

Clam Cleaning

All the boys were out cleaning clams for the bake. I don't know what dad was talking about. This clam cleaning thing ain't so bad.

Zen Pond Rocks

I love throwing rocks into Meme and Babo's pond with cousin Tal. It is a nice way to unwind and ignore all the stresses of being two and a half.

Hangin' with my Cuz!

Cousin Talan and I were helping set up for the clambake by cheesing it up on the shelf in Babo's garage.

Heathen Great Granny

This is my great granny. She came to visit us when we were in Cleveland for the clambake.

Puffy Chin

What? Chin? Something on my chin? I don't know what you are talking about.

Guardian of Cleanliness

You have to watch out for those dust bunnies. Some of them can get pretty mean.

Crazy Sister

If I don't hold on to her she may get loose and terrorize the neighborhood. Keep your eyes peeled for this little girl.

Boogies Mommy

Oh my! Somebody get a tissue, I seem to have a drainage issue.

Honeycrisp

Oh how I love those honeycrisp apples. I like them a bit smaller than this but I will take what the mommy gives me.

Mommy Shoes

Check out these stylish pumps!

Ski Train

Not the real deal, but soon my friends, I will be riding the real thing and hitting the slopes. As soon as I am potty trained and I don't cry when my parents abandon me with a bunch of strangers.

Mail Train

I'm just chillin' here on the mail train. It seems that they used to carry guns on these here cars. The dummies in the train car were carryin'. No really, they were dummies.

Big Thomas

I got to ride on the "real" Thomas! We rode around the Colorado Railroad Museum in an open car three times, which took about 20 minutes. Thomas pulled the train, at least that's what they wanted me to think.

Little Thomas

Mommy and Daddy took me to go see Thomas the Train. Man were there a lot of people there. In addition to the "real" Thomas, there was a little Thomas that was chuggin' around the mini village.

My Pumpkin!

Don't cut my punkin' Mommy!

Zoo Mommy

I got to go to the zoo today too! Boy, was it a long day at the zoo. When the crash comes, it pays to have a personal chauffeur and this cozy ride.

Zoo Critters

I went to the Zoo with Sophia and Q today. We had a really good time eating Cracker Jacks and drinking Icees. I saw a one hump and a two hump camel. Do they come with more?

Parallel Parking

What a beautiful day for a car show. Please be careful with the corvette, it's a '62.

Playdoh Sammich

That subscription to Cooks Illustrated is really paying off. Want a taste?

Huh?

You caught me off guard. I have something on my face? Where, here? Here? Did I get it?

Not So Fats

I can't wait for my first game on my own. Now if only I could see above the table.

College Money

Daddy taught me some mad pool skills after volleyball the other night. We beat up on the girls - poor girls. Soon I will be able to pay for college with these skills.

Not a Peep

It looked like it was tasty, but after one bite I can tell you it does not taste anything like a peep.

Typical Day

Some days are good, some days are bad, but most days are smiley days!

Mall Racer

On your left! I'm feeling pretty fast. I am passing mall walkers left and right!

Ponies

Sometimes I think that mommy wanted two girls. Is somebody stalking me?

Twins?

Well, we aren't twins, but Cora is definitely taking on some of my habits. You would think that the thumb was enough, but noooooooo!

Punk Rock

My aptitude is showing itself. I am destined to be a punk rock star. Look out Johnny Rotten, here I come.

Wooms

I helped Mommy plant some plants in the yard and I ended up with these slimy wooms in my hands. Anybody want some wooms?

S'mores

What an amazing invention! This chocolate, graham cracker and heated marshmallow thing is great, minus the chocolate and graham cracker.

Fire! Fire!

We had our first fire the other night. I can't help but stare into the fire and........

Wait a minute, where was I?

Cross-eyed Cora

Hey, you! Yeah, you! Come closer my little pretty!

Backyard Chillin'

We got to hang out with the Daddy on the back deck. We each had our own chair, some of them bigger than others. One of these days I will possess the big chair with the cup holder!

Biker Boy

I love to wear my helmet that Bill gave me while riding my cool balance bike. This is a lot more fun now that I am finally tall enough to reach the ground.

Daddy Boots

Mommy and I had to go retrieve the golf balls that we hit up into the backyard. We had to put on Daddy Boots cuz there are "nakes up dare" and they can't bite you through the boots. Safety first, I always say.

Crying Cockatoo

Cora was definitely not happy about this fabulous doo. We thought it was pretty cool.

The Last Breakfast

After visiting our friends in Milwaukee we went back up to Minneapolis. Before leaving we had breakfast at our favorite spot with Grandma and Grampa. Cora ordered the waffle and was disappointed when she had to settle for airplane food.
