Finger Paintnig

Well, we finally broke down and let David play with his finger paints. He did a great job:

Habits

David finished drawing a picture and promptly put his pen behind his ear:
like Dad like David.... The things we learn from family; from Grandpa Eckert to the little guy.

Time to Play

Monday, January 18, 2010
Wendy had to work, so Andy and David went off to the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. We started off in the dance room, which is like a flashback to 1970's PBS Electric Company.
Dance David, dance:
We played with a lock-and-dam:
We slid down the small and large slides:
and played in rain machine:
David enjoyed the light table:
We played with construction sticks:
David spent time driving and cleaning the truck:
We made our way out to the tree house. David watched the birds and squirls:
David made me be judge of his trial:
and then he put me in jail:
After the museum, we went to OPI to have lunch with Wendy. We had a pretty nice "Boys Day."

Hangin' with DJ

Monday, January 11, 2010
Wendy went straight from work to the gym, so it was another boys' night. We had running hugs, a puzzle marathon, breakfast for dinner (strawberry jelly all over everything and everybody), a bath and a concert:

It's Snowing!

Wednesday, January 7, 2010
Well, it finally snowed. After a long day of play at Jamie's, David was ready to help shovel (aka play in the) snow:
David at work:

and play:
"Where does our yard end?"
Working hard; look at that tongue sticking out... that is called concentration:

After working hard outside, David did not want to come inside. He really screamed and pulled, and pulled at the door knob. We finally calmed him down with a nice, warm cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. Yum!

David being David

David was the first to volunteer to try out our new broom:

DJ was just a little excited about his new penguin hat and gloves from Grandma Loralee:
(and yes, he does live up to his shirt) :)

Christmas with Grandpa Ron and Julie

Saturday, January 2, 2010
Grandpa Ron and Julie road tripped out from St. Louis on New Year's Day to spend some time with David and celebrate a belated Christmas. David played, played, and played some more.

New Year's or Party Like it's 1999 ????

Wednesday, December 30, 2009
We were happy to be invaded by friends for New Years. Mandy, Cris and Jackie were diverted, but Brian, Jenette, Garrick and Elizabeth made it in safely. It was great to spend time catching up, and of course, playing.... A game anyone? Yes, many.
