She gets around!

Indy's new trick. This started just a couple of days ago. Kinsey likes the spotlight, too.

Mobile Indy

I know it's been a while.  I wanted to share Indy's crawling all over the house. I promise to blog again, soon.

Note from Indy

Dear Blog Reader,

I've had a wonderfully busy past three weeks. I learned to crawl. This small taste of freedom has energized me. I am inspired and am plotting a path for destruction and chaos throughout our home. I've come alive with all the possibilities of discovery. In addition to this marvelous new skill, I can pull (as well as sometimes push) my way to a stand, cruise along furniture, stand unassisted for short intervals of 3-5 seconds and walk with some assistance. I have at times amazed even myself, for example, when I found myself squarely standing under the pool table unable to escape.
Not to brag or boast but I can also wave and clap my hands. I shall rule the world one day. Soon.

Sincerely,
Independent Indy

Ps. My mommy also likes this because I can play and get around the house without her. She must be feeling a new sense of freedom as well.

Great Wolf!

The Great Wolf Lodge was just that, Great! We had a blast. Kinsey said. "Best. Birthday. Ever. Woo hoo!"  And she told me this morning that she wanted to go back. I said, "me, too!"

The time with family was good! It's so nice having people I trust around to help out with the girls, especially Indy. Kinsey just loves hanging out with those boys... and everyone else too.  Although, she did tell me this morning that, "I like Dude. He's my favorite!"

Here's some of the scenes:

Awesome birthday cake!

You're band opens the door, mine should too.

Happy birthday to you!

Notice all the white flowers are missing.  

We wore him out.

"There she is!"

Let us not forget it was also Father's Day.

It's official. It's 5:00pm.

Thanks to everyone who traveled all hundreds and hundreds of miles to celebrate a very special 3 year old!
