A-Hunting He Will Go!

Dylan today - April 25, 2009!

I know I've been trying to get all caught up on The Boy in some sort of chronological order here - the trip to Morro Bay, and up through Easter, and I'm making progress. But here's something from this morning. I came into the room and he had put on these sunglasses he got in a goody bag from a recent b-day party for one of his fellow day care kids. And then he just acted the ham, and how could anyone resist his antics? Not me...

Flying on a Jet Plane!

We lucked out on the flight home from Louisville, KY in January. We only paid for two seats, but we ended up getting 3 as that last seat never was filled. Dylan did well on the flying part of the trip - no ear problems and he was not bothered during take offs or landings. Now we'll have to plan an international trip!

Louisville Videos!

OK, so it's not a Dylan video. But she is his niece and that deserves some time! We had so much fun in Kentucky visiting Jack and Teresa and Dahlia, it seems fitting to share some of that. This is just Grandpa reading to his darling little granddaughter.






We all went down to one of the parks in Louisville one cold January afternoon. There we managed to attract nearly every duck in the South, and each and everyone of them hungry as a bear coming out of hibernation! Dylan was amazed by the onslaught of water fowl, and we were pretty impressed too.





At the very same park, we went to a playground. There Dylan and Mommy played on the slide while Poppy video taped the event. Dylan loves slides, and this was a nice one.

The Boy Gets His Feet Wet!

So we're at the beach in early February (not exactly beach going weather) in the little hamlet of Cayucos, just north of Morro Bay. While Dylan wasn't too keen on getting his feet wet at first, some patient and dogged (but always gentle) nudging on Poppy's part finally got him to give it a try -and surprise, surprise he liked it. Fortunately, Mommy was there recording it with her new camera, so you can enjoy it.

Huggy Boy in Morro Bay!

The Boy was feeling especially lovey in Morro Bay when we visited at the end of January, 2009. We stayed at our favorite motel there, the El Moro Masterpiece Motel, a very good bargain. The rooms have a lot of space, and it is (was) close to Mom's place just down the street. Anyway, here he is giving hugs galore - and if you've been fortunate enough to get one of these hugs, you know how special they make you feel!
