Dip, dip.

We have added a new step into Walter's bedtime routine. Now, after pj's, brushing teeth, a couple of books, a story from Daddy (over the phone 4 nights a week, in person the other 3), and kissing all of the animals on their dresser, Walter needs to 'dip, dip' his pacifier in a cup of water. Don't ask me how that became a step, but it is now a crucial one.

This afternoon Owen got to show me some of his favorite work at Sunny Hollow. It was really fun to see some of the work I've been hearing about in action. He's such a smart cookie.

This morning Walter and I met some friends at a park for some fun and an early picnic. He rode his buddy, William's, bike pretty much the entire time...sometimes with William on it, most of the time with a snack in his hand.

Yesterday, Walter & I finally paid another visit to Lindsay & baby Lydia. Between a cold that kept hanging on to Walter, Lindsay's family being in town and Jer traveling, its been difficult to find a time to visit. Lindsay warned me she was getting big and had already gained 1.5 pounds, but when I got there, I was reminded just how tiny newborns are. What a beautiful girl and such a treat!
