Weekend Away at the Grand Canyon

Last weekend, it was Mom and Dad's turn to have a little time away. We hit the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, stayed the night in Kanab and then toured Zion National Park on our way home to Cedar City. All told, we were away about 36 hours, but it felt much longer. Thank you to Martha - oh lovely Martha - how could this summer ever happen without you?

Charlie is Four Years Old!

Charlie spent his birthday at home this year. A morning of playing with Walker and a nap was followed by cupcakes, music, presents and handmade decor by our dear friend, Martha. What a lovely way to celebrate our sweet Charlie Bear!  He ate about half a cupcake with assistance from Mom and also thoroughly enjoyed his new books, "The Foot Book" from Martha, "The Fantastic Finger Book" from Walker and "The Sailor Dog" from Aunt Betsey and Linda! Here are some shots of our big 4-year-old at his little party.

Your Table Awaits

The other night, Jack and I came home from work to find that Martha and Walker had prepared a homemade dessert for after dinner. Walker had even made dessert menus. He and Martha had created a waiter costume and then we were treated to a full service meal. Here are a few snap shots of Walker the waiter.

Easy Rider

This morning, Walker took his bike for a spin through 

the puddles left from last night's thunder storm!

Good, clean, fun!
