C in April...

At Oma's request, some updated pictures for the blog...

At the park...










Still in a winter jacket ..sadly in April...





And to prove he does smile...



At least SOME of the trees are in bloom!

No room in the house... I mean COUCH

So, apparently the "Grand Scale" couch size from Potterybarn is not enough to hold the whole family. It apparently is and will be a giant dog bed. And maybe a small space for a human... maybe..



And of course a picture of C with crazy hair on our snow day...

Two from today in Feb

Here's a pic of our handsome little C



And from our walk in the woods this morning

Feeding the....cars?

Does it bother us that C feeds the cars like ..well, they are animals? No.. I guess not. Maybe we never knew that the Jeep liked Nilla wafers....


This is genetic.. from Daddy.. Mommy can't twist her tongue..



Mom, the cars like to eat cookies.



Feeding Nilla wafers to the Jeep..



See Mommy, Jeeps like cookies!



Yeay! Jeep ate cookies.

Bubbles are hilarious!

At least to C they are!





Blowing them on mommy is fun too!





And you end up with a bubble beard!
