Cade and Alyssa

Cade has been having several playdates with Alyssa, our friends Bryon and Shawna's little girl. They have been getting along so well that we have all negotiated the number of goats and pigs for the dowry and I think that we are looking at a wedding on June 18th of 2030. So mark your calendars. All jokes aside though, since neither one of the kiddos are in daycare it has been really fun to watch them interact and maybe see how Cade will act with his new little sibling... Here are some pictures from their most recent 'date'.

In other news, just three more weeks of school for Chad until we get back to a more manageable schedule without all of the night classes and weekends. It will be a huge relief and great to get our weekends back! We take off for Newport for Memorial Day and so I am sure we will have plenty of beach pictures in the next few weeks.

Cade's New Favorite

Cade had his first real, un-assisted spaghetti meal the other day, and I think it goes without saying, but he really enjoyed it. Cade spent the morning playing with Alyssa, and while I am sure his manners didn't impress her too much we all had a good time laughing at him. He can't seem to figure out what is so funny in this picture, or maybe its the spaghetti sauce in his ears that is giving him such a concerned look...

And the husband of the year goes to....

I had the best Mother's Day yesterday. Granted, this is only the second time we've celebrated, but Chad did it up in a big way, and it was wonderful! Started out in the morning with Cade waddling up to me holding a little white jewelery box. Had it not been for my keen eye, carefully trained to spot such packages, I might have missed it because once he got to me he threw the box at the dog (one of his favorite games lately...). I quickly retreived it, instead of allowing the dog to, and found a beautiful diamond band inside!! Needless to say, I was shocked! We then spent the rest of the morning with my family at brunch, where Chad fed Cade, ran around after him, and pretty much made it so that I could eat to my heart's content (which is one of my favorite games lately...). It was a great day, and now I am stuck trying to figure out how to spend Father's Day. Any ideas?

Finally Downloading some pictures...

It has been a while since I emptied my camera, so here are some of the latest and greatest of the cute kid, and then there's us...

For a while there he always had his tongue hanging out. Not sure what Freud would say?
