Can you ever have enough Geo-Trax?

Alexander would say no way!

One of my sorority sister graciously donated her children's Geo-Trax to Alexander.

It included the airplane trax, a couple of buildings and new tracks and trains.

Needless to say, someone has been playing with trains for days and days.

Thanks, Tina!!

New Blog Look!

What do you think?  I LOVE it!  My uber-talented and super sweet friend, Jen, over at A Daily Dose of Davis set it up for me.  She's done the header of the blog for three years running and this time, I finally get to repay her for the good work!

Life has been seriously busy with Alexander.  Swim lessons.  Learning to ride a bike.  Finishing puzzles.  Playdates and sleepovers with grandparents.  Playing with GeoTrax.

And I haven't seem to have managed to take a single photo. 

When summer arrives, you'll see more updates.  Until then, wish us luck as we finish up preschool and say goodbye to friends and teachers we have come to love.

Lovin' this age!

I'm sitting in the living room on my laptop.  Eric is upstairs on his computer.  And Alexander is yelling at the iPad as he plays his games on it.  Just your typical 2012 family!

Jo-Jo asked for a few pictures of Alexander for her wedding website.  Rather than dig through the files, I asked Eric to take a few pictures of the little man. 

I can't believe how much I'm enjoying this age. Life is good.

A few pictures...no big deal

Eric bought a new camera in March and has taken loads of pictures. 

And here are the results.

Kindergarten Roundup

This was his grin on the way to our first visit to Kindergarten.

Turns out the grin wasn't much different after the visit.

He's ready for the next chapter.

  His parents aren't.

Duh.

Our baby is growing up.

So. Many. Emotions.

It was Future Job Day at preschool last week.

Someone decided he wants to work on an aircraft carrier. 

Someone might be watching too much Battle 360.
