We went to the new donut place that opened by our house. We noticed that traffic was pretty rough getting in to the parking lot, and we didn't realize why until we came out and walked around a bit. Not only was there a Corvette show going on, but there was a dog show, too! Talk about our favorite things!
Cars, donuts and dogs. What a great Saturday!
I'll try to get photos up as I can. I've uploaded about a dozen of them to flickr so far, but will work on more. (It doesn't take very long, but I get distracted easily from other more important things...)
Sorry for the long time in not updating. I flew to Michigan for a week and before that I was working pretty hard on schoolwork.
Enjoy this funny picture of Anthony strangl...errr, I mean, hugging, the cat!
Miss Catherine decided she wanted to stay warm and comfy and Anthony decided the same. So they agreed upon a mutually beneficial arrangement. :)
We went to the Skagit Vally Tulip Festival for the second time ever. We went once when Anthony was about a year and a half old, and this time was a little bit more fun. We went on a weekday instead of the weekend, and the crowds were considerably less!
The flowers are always so gorgeous and it's always an opportunity for Anthony to run around and get his picture taken. :)
Anthony kept telling us that he didn't want his hair cut, but we finally did it this weekend. He was looking awfully shaggy before!
Here's the evidence:
Anthony just felt like saying hi. Oh, and he never wants to get dressed in the mornings, so he's stalling, too.
Okay, bye!
Anthony found all of the candy that the Easter bunny left for us.
Anthony had chocolate for breakfast and lunch, and then decided that some real food sounded good for dinner.
The pajamas that Anthony is wearing in this picture haven't been worn since it started getting really cold at night (around November or December). We put them on him again for the first time last night, and he was a good few inches taller! Hard to believe kids grow so fast but it's little tidbits like changing the wardrobe when the weather gets nice that allows us to see these changes.
Happy Easter!
More photos are up, this time of film from the same trip mentioned in the last blog post.
Happy Good Friday to everyone!
We went and did a lot of stuff today while Larry went and hung out with the boys.
Anthony's getting pretty good with the camera. Watch out, people.
Today, Anthony got to go to a birthday party of one his good friends from preschool. This little boy's mom was nice enough to have the party at a place which teaches young kids gymnastics. The place, called The Little Gym, caters to kids, seemingly as little as young as one year old, encouraging body movement and self-confidence.
As you can see, it was great fun. There was a ton of padding, and spotters for the activities that were a little more dangerous than just running and tumbling.
Saturday afternoons don't get much better than this.
He wanted to ride his bike on Sunday, and the weather was really nice (though windy).
The weekend was really nice, but now it's snowing. This has been a very long winter, and it's really taken it's toll on the plants. They started blooming a few weeks ago and I think this is the second round of really cold temps since then. I'm sure a lot of them will make it, but it's probably pretty rough on them.
As for the picture, I picked up a cheap ($4.99) old Konica camera at the thrift store: Konica C35 Automatic. This particular model came out sometime after 1971. I wanted to check it out, so I threw in a roll of really cheap film (Fuji 200 speed) and went to work. This was the result...I think I'll keep it!
Happy Spring! We hope you guys are all finally warming up and seeing some pretty flowers.
