O.k., o.k. so it's been five months

So here are some pictures from way back in May through fairly recently. I'll try to put up more next month but for now I've maxed out my flickr account.

We have a swing set now. If it didn't get dark and her parents didn't have to go to work, Jadyn might just live on the thing.

Just back from a trip to "Build-a-Bear" which is now apparently "build-a-giraffe" and "build-a-elmo" too.

Camping Out

The first attempt at "camping out" on the front lawn. This one lasted about ten minutes. On about the fourth attempt we actually spent the whole night out there.

Jadyn plays mini golf. Look at that form...well, looks like I can cross LPGA off of my retirement plan options.

I think this is from one of Alyssa's first attempts at feeding herself. Turning that hand around might be a bit more effective, kid.

Look at that smile. This is usually the look she gives as she does something she knows she's not supposed to.

This is from the Strawberry Festival. At least I've been told they had strawberries there. As for me, all I saw was Jadyn and Shelby going down this slide thing about twenty times.

Doctor

Another birthday gift, a doctor set courtesy of the coalition. Maybe she'll grow up to be a doctor/missionary type for some little island nation. (Sorry to those of you who don't quite get this, it's a bit of an inside joke but hopefully the coalition will think it's funny. Their approval is ever so important to me.)

This was my present for Jadyn's third birthday, a sandbox.

She's been walking pretty well for quite a while, but this is about five months ago when she was just starting out.
