Trying to teach Daniel about fire and heat.
And how to blow it out.

I just passed my drivers exam and now have my learners permit!
My first driving lesson at 11:15 p.m with Dad. I was cruising around the empty high school parking lot at all of 2 1/2 miles per hour. My next goal: to use the gas pedal. : )

As Daniel’s hair is getting long, Maria just had to put it into a cute ‘do.

“Ooh, what can I pull out of here?”
“Uh-oh, I’m caught.”
“I wasn’t doing anything!”

John Paul: Mom! Mom! The baby is climbing up the stairs!”
We run to look in disbelief, and find that Daniel only has one hand on the bottom stair. He notices us watching him and innocently shines one of his adorable smiles at us, as if to reassure us that he is much to little to even be thinking of climbing stairs. We shake our heads and laugh at Johnathan’s large exaggeration.

“Just try to stop me!”

Daniel has hit many milestones in the past weeks. Two weeks ago he waved for the first time, and soon after he began clap his hands when you say patty-cake. Two days ago he began to crawl, and yesterday he popped a tooth. His biggest achievement, however, was when he was holding onto the edge of the bathtub and pulled himself up to a standing position all by himself! UH-OH!!!

Alexander adds to his pile.
Maria’s much wanted bean-bag.
My scarf.
John Paul, Alexander, and Joseph all got Leapster learning game machines. They’ve been a big hit.
Landon and his ‘camera fund’. He’s also wearing a Saint Patrick medal if you look closely.
