Family time

Matt, Heather and baby Matthew came back to Arizona for a visit, and we were thrilled to get to meet our nephew and Calvin's cousin for the first time! He is so precious and we love him so much! We can't wait to see them all again in Denver in a couple weeks!






Costumes and birthday parties

So we found a new bench that was exactly what we were looking for. It's black with nailhead trim that I love, it provides extra seating in the family room and it doubles as a toy chest for quick clean-up when we have company. Calvin was delighted when we brought it home and he had a brand new chew toy! Fortunately he is able to understand the word "no" now and doesn't chew on it anymore, but he loves to use it to practice standing.


All bundled up for the first cold spell! (A high of only 68...brrrr).

Guess what Calvin was for Halloween this year, all you Mr. Lobster fans! (The best part was that after we decided NOT to spend $30 on the lobster costume we saw in a catalog, we found the same exact costume at a garage sale for $1, as well as an armful of other baby clothes for $1-$3. Thanks again for the referral, Erin!)


Calvin attended a birthday party for the first time for his cousin Bailey who turned one! It was a beautiful day in the park for a birthday party.

We like the way this hat shows off Calvin's baby mullet look. Very trendy. :)

The giant cupcake for the birthday girl! Bailey was so polite, she didn't even make a mess with the icing for her mommy to clean up.

My favorite laugh

This is an older video, but one I wanted to post because it showcases Calvin's infectious laughter! Only Daddy can really make him laugh like this. :) If you're having a bad day, just watch this video - you can't help but laugh right along with him!

Our Little Bike Rider

When Calvin's joy really builds up, sometimes it spills out and he has to go for a "bike ride," kicking his legs and squealing with delight!
