Mark and his new rocking chair

Another sunny day

We had a really lovely day here. It was over 65. The many inches of snow we had this morning are melting fast. Our front yard is completely clear. There is still an inch or two in the back where it is shaded. We definitely bought on the right side of the street- no shoveling necessary.

So we went to the park this afternoon. Here is Mark pointing to the swings. He spent most of the hour we were there on the swing. And any time he slowed down he would emphatically make the more sign and say "mo" until I would give him another big push.


These are Mark's footprints. Proof that he will walk in the snow!! but only because he had to do so to get to the swing.
We stoped at the duck pond on the way home. Mark is pointing if he had more words he would say "look mom, ducks! quack, quack quack", instead he says qck, qck, qck, duck, duck, duck
The ducks thought we might feed them and were pretty excited.
Mark was pretty excited too :)

Playing at the park (last week)

Mark was enjoying a warm day last week.

Here he is headed straight for the swing

and then enjoying playing on it.
He likes to crawl through the tunnel and peak out at me:

and now he can go down the slide all by himself- he sure is growing up fast.

Some more photos from Vacation

Guess what?

Mark is still really cute :)

He had a great time snuggling Delaware Bear
Mark had a good time rocking and saying "rck, rck, rck, rck"

Thanksgiving with Pop-Pop and Nana

We had a great vacation with Pop-Pop and Nana in Delaware. Here are some photos from the day.

Mark loved playing with his auntie and uncle.

We've got SNOW!!

and Mark is still unimpressed :)

Halloween and tyring on shoes

some smiles from the last week

between two new molars and a cold there haven't been nearly as many as usual, but I got a couple of happy baby shots in the last few weeks.

HI Daddy!

We miss you and can't wait to see you on Saturday.

Last weekend

We went for a hike- it is definitely fall at higher elevations. (It is kinda fall down here on the plain too- but we aren't ready to admit it)



Little one thought he need to see what was in mommies purse.

Marks new word

Make sure you turn the volume up he is kinda quiet.

monthly upload

I just don't seem to get to this any more frequently than once a month anymore. It was a lot easier when he was smaller. Now every time I try and use the computer he wants to help. Oh well. Here are a few from his first day of preschool and a few from our trip to the NJ shore.I've got the keys and am ready to go.
That is our little bear running! He is so fast now.
No trip to the shore is complete without a walk on boardwalk. On daddies shoulders is his new favorite spot.
After a few hours of refusing to even touch the sand he saw some birds and chased them all around- which lead to going in and learning about the waves.
