Friday Happy Hour

The three amigos had several happy hours of play time on Friday night...they played outside, they played inside, upstairs, downstairs, everywhere. They shared potty time and tub time with lots and lots of giggles. Van is asking for them by name every day.


Love the squatting style


Van is lovin' it


Look at those gorgeous Austin lashes


Logan posing so nicely


Buddies for sure

11 is Heaven and Missing Daddy

Sure enough it's 11th months of Van today...so hard to believe...some days it feels like it's been a mere moment and others a lifetime of love. mmmmmmmmmmmm goooood...types Van as he assists me at the laptop! Guess he's pretty happy with how life is going...we certainly couldn't ask for anything better. His vocabulary keeps expanding and his personality continues to charm family, friends and strangers wherever we go.

This is our first extended time away from Daddy...Daddy is presenting at NAB in Vegas this week and Van is missing him terribly. Every morning he wakes up and asks for Daddy. But tonight we got a special treat...we actually got to watch Daddy present LIVE...thanks to the magic of technology. Van heard his voice and starting screaming Daddy Daddy Daddy so I missed most of the opening remarks but it was worth every second!

Van knew that Daddy took an airplane to go so he had his toy airplanes in hand to watch
That's my Daddy!


And of course clothing optional for this presentation

Hair cut and an egg dye

What could be more fun? Still catching up on the Easter...
A very successful haircut-thanks to a blue lollipop and Miss Tera. And Easter egg dye goodness-thanks to Austin and Logan's awesome craft box of fun birthday gift and a super cool craft apron from cousins Georgie and Evie...

Our DC Day

As part of Van's birthday celebration, we took him up to The Kennedy Center for what we hope is the first of many live music events there for him. The Teddy Bear Concerts are geared to kids 3 and up and they get to bring along their favorite pal. Of course Howard was along for our ride. And what a ride it was...little did we know that it was also peak cherry blossom weekend. As past DC residents, we should have known better but it caught us by surprise. Traffic was a mess so we ended up arriving a bit late but it turned out to be an awesome adventure. Van loved the music and the airplanes.
On Sunday we finally got the bouncy bounce fully inflated and enjoyed the beautiful weather at home.
Lots more photos to post from this holy week ahead so stay tuned!
