Show-off

Celebrated's first online video is sponsored

A Sign?

This road sign was the initial inspiration for the choice
of Judah's name. It is from a small community just
south of Bloomington.

Room in the Inn

Our family had a great two-night stay in the inn at
Spring Mill State Park. We practically had the place
to ourselves. We enjoyed...


Sitting by the fire


Table tennis


Hiking


Playing, swimming, and relaxing.

Birthday Number Two

Judah had party with a friendly pirate cake.


He was a bit afraid of the fire on the candles.


He received some great gifts.

Thankful

This year, Judah is thankful for...

The great outdoors


Family (especially grandparents)


Good friends


And cute puppies.

'Choc-it'

Enjoying a choc-it (as Judah calls it)
ice cream cone.

G&G - Spring Mill

Judah's Gramma and Grampa
came to Indiana for the weekend.


We all enjoyed a visit to Spring Mill
State Park. The park has a pioneer
village with a spring-fed grist mill.


Little man - big stump!


Happy fall!

Anniversary

Celebrating six happy years together.

Lil' Trike

Judah is learning how to pedal a tricycle.

Car Wash

Judah and Daddy washed the family car today.

Spriggs Music

For three years, we have enjoyed the
Spriggs Music Festival. Judah had
a great seat for this year's festival.


Blue eyes, blue camo, bluegrass!

Children's Museum

We traveled to the Indianapolis Children's Museum this
week. Among many other things, the museum has a great
dinosaur exhibit.


Judah most enjoyed the maze of mirrors.

Big Brother

We are expecting a baby boy!

Monkeying Around

Judah loves to imitate a monkey. When
he is near a tree, he grabs the trunk and
says - Ooo Ahh Ahh! Here are a few other
examples of his monkey-like behavior.


Climbing


Swinging (a bit blurry)


Caged

Cow Boy

We visited the county fair this week to
see the livestock. Judah had no fear of
these dairy cattle.


"Mooo."

Up a Creek

...without a paddle.


We visited McCormick's Creek State Park
today. Judah and Daddy enjoyed playing
in the creek on this big log.

Indy Flashback

We revisited the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway Museum last weekend.
Judah is 18 months old now.


Playing in the same car almost one year ago.

Little Swimmer

Judah and his aunt Chelsea ("Chels-chels") at the pool.

Ha Ha Tonka

The castle ruins at Ha Ha Tonka State Park.


Peek-a-boo!

Cowboy Up

Howdy everybody!
(Waving at the school bus.)


This is what you get when you cross
Saturday Night Fever with Oklahoma!.

Cinco de Mayo

Hitting the piñata!
Today we celebrated Cinco de Mayo
with a fiesta.


Judah gave up on trying to break
the piñata open. He found it was
easier to reach inside.


Adiós amigos!

Eye Aye, Aye

Judah's Daddy and Momma both have brown eyes. So
where did Judah get those blue eyes? Well, his maternal
grandfather has blue eyes and his paternal great-great
grandfather had them too. So, his parents (and some
of his grandparents) carry the recessive gene for those
blue eyes! Read more about genetics and eye color here.

Do Not Disturb

This cowboy pillow has been in Judah's crib for over
a year. He has recently started laying his head on it
when he sleeps.

Sunny Day

The weather was very nice today.
After church we had ice cream
and played outside.


Miles and Judah
