Pictures to come when the hospital gets some printer paper for the ultrasound machine!  (I know, I know.  Lame!)

21 Month Update

At 21 months, Levi is more and more of a little boy and less of a baby!

Here Levi has used a block to make his own bulldozer out of his fire truck. He did this without any help! Bulldozers are one of his favorite things right now.

Here Levi is trying on Daddy's shoes.

Recently we were in Aberdeen for meetings and I stopped at Storybookland with Levi. It is free and GREAT for little kids.

His favorite part of the park was the train ride. (Only thing that costs a tiny bit of money) He rode the train 4 times in 2 days. He liked it so much we got him a little replica and had to bring daddy for a ride.

He got to feed geese while in the free zoo portion of the park.

Levi learning to work his 1st bulldozer.

Levi also has a passion for firetrucks and was thrilled with this toy one.

Levi is also very in to making faces to make people laugh right now. He also thinks his daddy is hilarious and says "funny daddy" all the time.

Garden Update 2012

I thought I would just keep a log of my garden from year to year so here it is. Its already higher than in this photo but it took me awhile to get this post done. This year I mostly focused on a salad garden.

I am not really a radish person but these were pretty good and not bitter.

Summer Iowa Visit & New Hair

Fun with Mimi and Papa.

Papa taught Levi how to sweep.

Here is my new hair cut after donating 11+inches to Locks of Love. Its a big change but I like it.

Sadie and Violet are playing peacock.

Ezra being all boy.

 Levi had a great time with the cousins. Here Papa and Sadie are painting a mail box.

Can you find Mimi in the 1st picture below? Fun with the weather balloon.

Thanks Jan, for the amazing help with the reupholster project! The photo on the left is the original fabric that the free chair came with. The one on the right is the finished project in the living room. Below is the accent pillows she made to add to the look. I love it!

I am a little behind once again but here is his 20 month update:

Drinking mom's drink when mine is perfectly good sitting right at my feet.

I love to line things up.

Bulldozers are my favorite right now. I call them Buldos.

I noticed my little toy boy has sun glasses on his head and I had to imitate.
