Mama, watch this, watch this!

Walter is full of new tricks and stunts these days, which he loves to show me. It is usually some jump, twirl or fast run. He will say this to me over and over until I stop what I'm doing and watch. He watches me the entire time to ensure my eyes have not left him.

We have had a great week getting back to normal here! Yesterday we spent the day at the beach with some friends. Walter is not hesitant in the least in the water, he was up to his lower lip hanging with the big kids. Owen is becoming increasingly more comfortable in the water, too. We are heading to my parents house next week so I imagine both boys will be part fish by the end of our time there.

On Thursday, we took a day trip with Lindsay and Lydia to the National Eagle Center in Wabasha and to Lark Toys in Kellogg. We stopped along the way for a picnic by the river and enjoyed every minute of our time together. I feel so lucky to be able to spend a whole day with them. Fun, fun, fun!
