The boys

Photos of the boys at the park. That's all! :)

Fun with Cal, Walker, Dalin and Hannah!

Our friends Linda and David passed through Greensboro on their vacation, and we had the best afternoon with them! This was the first time Cal and Walker met Dalin and Hannah, and they had so much fun! Walking downtown to City Park, the boys and girls held hands quite happily, and they all had a blast at the park. I am not sure the smiles could have been any bigger on our faces as we watched the kids play. :) Now we are actively trying to get them to move here from Arizona!

Our future rock star

Sweaty hair? Check.
No shirt? Check.
A bit of a delirious look from all the rocking out? Check.

Nature Boy :)

Cal is taking a camp in June about connecting children with nature. He is so excited about all he is learning about, and we are so excited for him! He is growing grass inside in a cup - this was a gift he made for Scott for Father's Day. He LOVES to be outside in the yard - he helped us to choose all the fruits and vegetables we planted this spring. He is no longer afraid of bugs, because he understands they are part of the landscape and just doing their own thing. When Scott was outside pulling weeds one day, Cal asked him not to "because weeds are part of nature too." :) Cal is simply the sweetest child, and each day is more exciting for us as we see things through his eyes and as he teaches us about things from his perspective.

I know he needs a hair cut...

But Scott and I swear his hair just fits him! His wild hair fits his wild personality, and is just so "Walker." He doesn't like getting his hair cut, at all, so we have not pushed it. This child, so fiercely independent, so decidedly doing his own thing, with his brown eyes and his blond hair, and the sweet little kisses on the nose he will give me when he decides I am worthy - well he just has me wrapped around his little finger. And he knows it. :)

Hippo's new outfit!

Cal, Walker and I arrived home from school yesterday afternoon, to find a beautifully wrapped birthday gift waiting for me from my dear friend, Jennifer. Cal promptly asked me to save the "beautiful ribbon" and upon further consideration, asked for the tissue paper one of my gifts was wrapped in, and the box. He left the room and was back within minutes with his friend Hippo, lovingly adorned in a new dress and ribbon! I took photos, and emailed them to Jennifer and Scott. When Scott asked Cal about Hippo's new outfit later on, Cal responded that Hippo "looked wonderful!" I totally agree Cal. Please save Mommy a seat in the front row when you appear at Fashion Week, okay? Love you!!!

Just Because. Random photos of Cal and Walker from tonight.

Cheese!

Cal talking about what makes him happy - whale sharks!

Cheese!

Still talking very earnestly about sharks and whale sharks!
