Boy in a Box

We have a store worth of toys in this house. What does he love? An old cardboard box. He sat in in and pretended he was on a ship, it was a trailer, and he was mowing the yard. Then pulled the bottom open and it became a tunnel. He really has an imagination!

The Next Step

Another milestone reached *sniff*

The next Swayze?

Just some video of James and his mad skilz.

He really is a silly little kid.

Helpenen Daddy

Andy cleaned the master bathroom today.

James helpenen him.

James' idea of "help" is different than Andy's idea of "help".

He does love to helpenen.

New Toy

A package arrived in the mail for James today.

This is what was in there. He won't take it off.

Future spelunker, perhaps?

Manton Harvest Festival 2009

We spent Labor Day weekend in Manton.

A shot of James looking cute in his Hawaiian shirt, in front of Grandma Garn's flowers.

James was introduced to cotton candy at the carnival.

Do you think he likes it?

He was not a fan of the parade, however.

Beating the Heat

Summer has arrived in Michigan. It's enough to make a person melt. Good thing we have a pool!

Getting cheesy smiles with Mom. Yes, he's wearing a hat in the pool. He's two. He does weird things.

Big grin with Nana Garn.

Learning how to "swim". He was getting good at kicking his feet!

James' favorite part of playing in the pool - jumping in!

And being caught by Nana. He's not hitting the water by himself - he's not crazy!
