The Adventures of 'The Kidds'

Hmmm…I can’t make it play within the post but here are the links!

Daniel Walking Part 1

Daniel Walking!

So we just returned from Trek yesterday, and it was a great time.  This is like the 11th year that I have been able to go to Trek, and it was great cause this year Corrine & Daniel got to come too, which made it a lot of fun.  We stayed at the Wus Haus, which is a vacation home that friends of ours bought a few years ago.  But it worked out quite well.  We went to the island in the morning to spend the day there and then at night after dinner, I drove a boat back to the main land where we drove 2 miles to the house and spent the night.  It was a good week and I think all the middle schoolers had a fun time while there as well.

Here are a few pictures from the week.

Here is Daniel, decked out in his Island Gear with Mommy,  

Here is Daniel Enjoying the boat ride on the pontoon.

Tired boy after a long day of playing in the lake…

I know he’s a little young, but he is my kid, so he needed to get a computer, and since he won’t sit at a desk, well he’ll barely sit, we figured he needed a laptop..

Corrine was out at a yard sale, and saw it so she decided to get it.  It was only a dollar so definitely worth the price…  I just need to do a little solder work, I think she said the sound board is loose, or something, but definitely a good toy for Daniel..

As you probably know we have got a fish tank last year. We got it from the Clarks when they sold their house, and they left the tank, so we got it and have used it for a while. We recently added a new fish tank stand, that we could close and add a safety on, as Daniel gets bigger, more mobile and more inquisitive.
We can sit next to the tank, with Daniel on our lap, and he will just intently check out the fish. Corrine put him on the sofa and he could watch on his own, here is a picture that she took of Daniel watching the fish.

I think he was surprised by the flash…

With Daniel being born, we decided that we should plant a tree in celebration on Daniel’s birth. Since he was born in January, we had to wait a little until it warmed up a little. So a few weeks ago, Daniel’s tree, a Paper Birch arrived, along with this tree the Arbor Day Foundation sent along a Red Maple Tree. So once if finally warmed up we planted Daniel’s tree and the Red Maple out in the front yard. Hopefully the trees will take off soon and we will see some growth on these trees.
