9 out of 10 dentists agree...

Valerie stepped out of the room for just a second. Upon her return, she found Will in the bathroom brushing his teeth. This ought to be enough to make any dentist proud.

water play...

This is fun Mommy!



Someday, I'm gonna get you with the water hose Mommy!

thanks...

Thank you Sean and Paige for the tricycle!



Thank you Aunt Julie for the clothes. Now I'm ready to go play outside in the cold.



I'm just so darn cute!



Thank you Pop for the wagon!



Thank you Mema for the flowers!

Fun in the Pumpkin Patch...

Here I am in the pumpkin patch. I've picked me out a pumpkin just my size!

Here you go Daddy! Hold my pumpkin.

Oh dear! I'm not sure I can get this one up?!

Mommy and Pooh and Pooh...

Here are Mommy and her little Pooh Bear that she loves to snuggle up with! Oh and look, her little Pooh Bear has a little Pooh Bear of his own!

flashlight fun...

Here are just two shots from my light study project that I captured with my camera last night. The first one is a composite of several shots. The second is just a single shot. I think this "painting with light" technique is pretty fun. You can see some other shots from this set here.

hot rods...

Will found my old pine-wood derby cars from back in my Cub/Boy Scouts days. They just turned up in all of the moving. I'm not sure that Will is totally appreciating the aerodynamic design that Pop and I put into these cars. Check out the air-foil that we put into the wood! Both of these cars were good designs. In fact the near one is an undefeated champion.

purple people eater, part II...

As you may remember from a previous post, Will is afraid of the vacuum cleaner. However, he is much braver around it when he has his ball-popper. He half mimicked Valerie in vacuuming the floor and half used the ball-popper as a defensive weapon against the evil purple people eater. He kept ramming the vacuum with the popper, but then he'd run away. Anyway, he is getting a little better with the vacuum.
