Luke and Aaron playing at Beargrass Creek

New Fave Place

Big Rock was a hit last night.....Aaron and Luke played in the water and threw rocks. Luke scared me to death hopping across rocks to cross the creek, but didn't draw any blood. R was thrilled to fish, and surprisingly enough, there actually were fish in the creek. Afterwards we went to Willow Park for the Cherokeee Triangle music night. We had a picnic with Jack and Stephanie and tried to contain Jack and Luke in the playgroud. All the boys had ice cream, but I think Aaron had the best time with it, eventually smearing it all over his Daddy's shirt.

Crusty kid and pet news

Aaron is the crusty kid.....terrible case of cradle cap that I've tried to clear up for the last couple of weeks. It's covering the whole top of his head and looks like thick dandruff scabs. We've washed it almost every day with Neutrogena dandruff shampoo and tried soaking it with olive oil. Aaron loves the bathtub and he's discovered the joy of laying on his belly to kick like crazy, but I'm sure he's sick of me pouring water in his eyes.

Ollie is still fat. He spends most of the day on the deck outside of the office, but it's most entertaining when he drapes himself over the railing.






Charlie had his hair done yesterday. Fluffy dog is now our skinny dog. Will it make it easier for him to slip through the fence?

Babies and bowling

Aaron is fascinated with baby Zachariah, Meghan's newborn. He loves to to pet his head, beep his nose, and unfortunately poke his eyes......last week he threw a cardboard tube and hit Zachariah's head. Right now he's squatting by the baby and laughing while he squirms and coos.

Luke went bowling for the first time today. He says, "Bowling was GREAT!! I loved it! We rolled a ball, and one time I got almost all of them, and only one was left." There were little balls without finger holes for small kid hands, and bumpers to keep the ball from going into the gutter every time.

Aaron's first word

Finally! "Uh-Oh" about 15 times.....very appropriate for a child who has a great pitching arm. The picture is with Austin, his speech therapist.
