My two year old can hang a spoon off his nose!

Of all the things Quinn has taught Calvin to do, I think this is what makes him the most proud!

Alison June

Last week Calvin and I got a chance to go out to North Carolina to visit my new niece, Alison June. It was a great week! I'm so glad that we could see her right away and help Katie while she was recovering. I was especially happy to see how quickly Katie and Derek got into the cuddling lifestyle that comes with having a newborn.

My only regret is that I forgot to take a picture of myself with the baby!

Firehouse field trip

Last week Calvin's class took a field trip to the firehouse, mainly because toddlers love fire trucks, but also to give them an experience outside the classroom.

The fire fighters mainly wanted to tell them that if their house was on fire they have to remember not to hide, and even if the fire fighters look scary in their uniforms, they should run towards them, and not away from them.

They all got to sit behind the wheel of the fire truck and explore the back of an ambulance.
