It only took 5 years

We have been accumulating the materials for a deck since we bought our house in 2006. With a bit of help from some friends and a couple of nice weekends we finally have a finished deck. Just in time to enjoy sunny evenings and lazy Sundays. We are very excited but now are in the market for a new grill since Jeremy says our old one is too ugly for the new deck.

As Promised

Here are some recent photos and video. He is walking much better now, this video was taken last week.

Busy Weekend

well, what is new...every weekend is busy. I have been on the hunt for some outdoor toys for Holden as he LOVES being outside. Finally found something after hitting all of the kid's consignment stores in town. And it was a jackpot, Jeremy is already making plans for rigging up the lights to work.

Holden is now saying a few words, 'dat' means cat and he says Dada and Mama pretty consistently now. The other big development is his love of books. We read before nap time and bedtime and sometimes I have to read a story when we wake up. So, we hit the library this weekend to get a few new books to read. This is mostly for my sanity as I'm not sure how many more times I can read about Elmo's red shirt. We picked up some Eric Carle books and Sam McBratney, he has taken a liking to the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

We had made plans to go to the zoo on Sunday but the weather ruined that idea. So, instead I shaved Jeremy's head for him. He'd been talking about it for quite a while and finally did it. Not sure how much I like it yet, but I'm sure I just need to get use to it.
