What have we been up to these days?
Austin is walking EVERYWHERE these days. He is officially a walker and almost never crawls anymore. (sigh. It is a good thing, but it's also a little sad knowing the crawling chapter in our house has come to a close.)

He is starting to get into mischief...goodbye baby, hello toddler! He loves to stick his hands in the toilet and play in the water...(I know...so gross.) He is starting to climb up onto things - stools, coffee tables, picnic tables outside, etc. He also loves to chuck things down the stairs - shoes, clothes, toys, etc. We are in trouble now!

We've been playing outside a lot - gardening, picking dandelions, playing on the swingset, etc.

My two little blondies...

All clean after getting muddy outside (and even eating a few handfuls.)

My little engineer/inventor is busy building his own vacuums and contraptions of every sort and variety. Everyday, I find some random combination of household items/tools that he has assembled together.

Caroline is really starting to be able to draw actual things (versus sribble scrabble.) I love seeing all her new art creations! Here is her picture of "spring".
