photo dump

I tried a few weeks back to put some stuff up on here and had some tech difficulties, and well, here we are now.  Here are some photos I have put up on flickr but didn't get up here yet.  I have found that I am taking more with the cell phone now that I got a phone that takes pictures better than the flip phone I had in high school.  I have some from the DSRL that I need to still put up, too.

Fun in the back yard of the old house:

Sleeping on our last airplane trip.  After a bit of this I realized we actually did pay for his seat...



Playing.



A new favorite morning routine for a bit there:



Big fan of helping cook:

52/52 End of a "year"

So this clearly took more than a year to do.  I will probably keep doing it, but probable not number the photos this time, ha.  Or maybe I will so I know when the "year" is up.  We'll see.  But how better to end a project than with shots from Easter?  Two this time and a bonus.

Sara made him this bow tie.  Just hamming it up here. That is chocolate going down his face from a chocolate bunny, by the way.

And then he wanted to add his hat to the mix.  Should have let him wear the hat to church as well!

Bonus!

50/52 Teeth Whitening

I might as well stop numbering these things, but I am so close to a "year"!

Just before the shot above: 

47/52 The Cook

some pics

While I did miss a week or two or something, there were some pics up on flickr before now (that is something of an apology even though probably no one is terribly concerned about it).

Anyway, my brother and his girlfriend came out earlier this month and we went to the distillery here in town while there were here. Pretty cool place:

While in AZ with the family, the kid could not get enough of being outside. He has always liked it, but this was on a different level. Maybe it was the sand and rocks instead of grass?

39/52 Hands Up

Yep, still walking around with those hands in the air!

Please!

This kid is amusingly polite. He pretty much never says no, he covers his mouth sometimes when he coughs (unprompted!) and the other night he went into the bathroom, pulled off a few sheets of toilet paper, blew his own nose and then threw it away (again, all unprompted!).

Oliver has really picked up on saying (as in, signing) please these days. That is great, but he uses it whenever he wants something, and what that something is is not always clear. Often combined with the pointing we can figure it out, but he is so diligent with his "please"!
