Walker, Texas Baby

Evan finally let go and walked by himself for several steps last night! Of course, I have an appt with the pediatrician tomorrow to talk about him not walking independently yet. Murphy's Law strikes again...



School Musical


Marian was in the 5th grade mini-musical production of "Welcome to the Jungle" (based on Aesop's fable of "The Lion and the Mouse"). She was Tembo the Elephant--a speaking part! She did a fabuolous job with her lines--we are so proud!


Wolf Scout

Aidan was promoted from Tiger to Wolf last week.

He's already reading up on the handbook for next year!
