The past few weekends we have been so busy, it was nice to enjoy a weekend at home - together. Jack had a robotics demonstration at Barnes and Noble Saturday at 1PM but we were able to take C to the park on Saturday afternoon. He had a ball. It was fun to watch him figure out how to climb on the jungle gym. Jack worked with him as he climbed and climbed and climbed. I was put on camera duty because I was so nervous watching him and afraid he might fall. C was quite proud of himself and I finally relaxed when we made it to the swings!!! I took lots and lots of picture.
Sunday was Erich's birthday. 20 years old - where did the time go? That cute little boy who loved dancing at our wedding is all grown up. Jack had his first volunteer job working the camera for both services and C and I went to the 11 AM service. After a nice Sunday nap we jumped in the pool to wrap up a nice weekend.
We are counting down the days till Jack's school is over for the summer. He is busy with several camps which means he will be tied up for several weeks, but it will be nice to be able to spend time together. We hope to catch up with friends and family this summer.

One guess who the clown in front is!
And We Are Walking...and Walking...and Walking...

C has been taking "sets of steps" for a few weeks and he is quite proud of himself when he does. This morning he actually walked from the kitchen to the media room (which is quite an accomplishment). He celebrates by clapping and dancing. He has learned to wave and say "hi" and "bye" although sometimes he waves to himself! I am learning that these moments are precious.
Mother's Day
We spent Mother's Day in Nacogdoches (Friday night with the Nelson's and Saturday night with my mom). C traveled well and partied late into the night each night - going to sleep at 10PM on Friday and 9PM on Saturday. Needless to say we all had a great time. On Saturday morning we enjoyed a ride on the golf cart looking at cows, ducks and swans on the Nelson's farm - C loved the bull. Saturday afternoon C enjoyed playing with his Nanny. "Auntie" Norma and Mrs. Ferguson came over to play and eat pizza Saturday night. For Mother's Day we all received webcams, now we can see Nanny, Grandma and Papa on a regular basis. Although a 14 month old doesn't like to sit still everyone is working to try to keep him entertained. My niece Courtney has used Skype to talk to him. He loves her bright pink nail polish.
Swimming or rather floating
We have introduced C to the swimming pool. After the initial shock he loves floating around and holding onto the water balls. We are ready for the weather to corporate so we can enjoy the pool more. The pictures of him are adorable. His favorite game is to float between Jack and me.
Jack and I are having so much fun with him! Thank you for your constant love and support.
