WILD ANIMAL PARK

These are the pictures from our trip to the Wild Animal Park on 17 January.  I think I'm caught up on BLOGGING now.  I'll post some new videos, including bike riding, this weekend.

Charlie did a good job of helping tire Alex out.  Playing chase has become a regular thing now!

I love this video.  Alex is so his mother, me.  The boy loves to clean, what can I say????  Even my dad is "Tom Sawyering" him here.

CUTE SHOTS

Here are a few funny pictures from the past week. I will have some new videos posted before the weekend!

 Alex definitely had fun with Uncle Charlie while he was staying with us!

 Alex had a nightmare one night last week and then was a little too awake to go back to sleep.  Marc took one for the team and went downstairs with Alex.  He finally fell asleep on the couch with Marc at around 5:15am...Marc was exhausted!

 Yes, Alex is all about riding his bike now.  Of course, this is the only helmet-less picture I have.  He is doing really well and can pedal all the way to the playground without mom or dad helping.

Marc was a softie on Saturday and let Alex take a nap in our bed.  He would not take the Buzz Lightyear gloves off for nap...this is priceless.  That's a piece of pretend hamburger bun on the bed next to him.  I found the top of the bun under the covers in the middle of the night after I rolled onto it, ha ha!

WINTER SINGING PROGRAM

Alex's school hosted its annual Winter Singing Program yesterday and it was terrific!  Alex's class sang two songs, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the Raindrops song.  All of the kids were a little shy when they first walked out because there were so many parents watching but they warmed up quickly.  Alex did a great job!  Sorry the video (password is "alex") is a little shaky and wavers at times but I was laughing/crying a little bit because the kids were just sooooo cute.  Alex was quite the performer and we were so proud of him.  He got very excited when "cupcake" was said in the lyrics to the second song...you can see him jump out very animated during that part.  Enjoy!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

We had a wonderful time in Texas for New Years, spending time with all of my family.  No time for detailed captions...but the pictures speak for themselves!  Happy 2011!!
