My brothers and me

Image They seem to love to stick stuff on my head. When it falls off, they laugh and laugh, and then put it back on. Over and over again.
ImageSee their fort in the background? Mama and I like to talk while they play. I can coo and gurgle with the best of 'em.

New use for infant bath towel

Has your infant outgrown that nifty bath towel w/ ribbon? Harry discovered a new use today after I bathed Mary Clement. Me: "Look at your kingly robe!" Harry: "No, I'm a robot with a cape." Gotcha.Image

Our garden (and Esmerelda) and one more Emma pic

Keri likes this one best.Image This is our bristlecone pine tree, Esmerelda, with Emma's birthday deer in the background.
Image
This is our garden, which grew lettuce, yellow squash, wildflowers, and potatoes very nicely. Note it is surrounded by free mulch from the city, the very same kind that I spent several hours on my birthday shoveling (much to Dad's delight) on to another part of our yard. It is amazing how close the apple falls. Guess what the black thing in the corner is...you bet, a composter (bought from the city, not handmade. I am making a birdbath out of old scrap metal though).

Catch up

This is Emma. She eats rice cereal with relish from a spoon, practically feeding herself.Image She laughs and laughs at her sister who is the most admired being in Emma's world.
Image She distracts all congregants at church by blowing the cutest raspberries.

Image
She charmed her grandparents (with a little help from her sister and mother) into building this lovely pergola on the side of our house.

Image
It makes for some very fine afternoon mealtimes.

Will Walks

(missing video)

At long last, William is walking. He took his first little steps on Labor Day, but really started walking later that week. He'll be sixteen months on Monday. He's very proud of himself! (And so are we!!!)
