Art Time

When daddy is out of town mommy likes the boys doing quieter activities. I make up for all the quiet time when I get home though.

Christopher-isms - Dairy Farms

Last year Christopher was fortunate enough to be able to spend a week at Grandma's durring the summer. While there Grandma wanted to make sure that he had an opportunity to learn about cows and Dairy Farms. So Christopher and Grandma went to a local Dairy Farm and got the free tour. After Christopher was back home he told us about the exciting things he got to do at Grandma's and all that he had learned. I was slightly concerned once he told me about the Dairy Farm experience. He was very excited to tell us that "Cows like to eat salads, and that they eat Salad with their four mouths" (for those who may not know, cows eat silage, and they have four stomachs). He was certain that he had it right and that we were wrong. Oh well, I guess that is close enough, of course I promptly called grandma to find out what she had been teaching my boy.

Christopher and I like going on youtube on occasions to look up tractors, trains, fire engines, ladder trucks, fireboats, airplanes, and space shuttles. You can actually find some rather fun and interesting stuff on there if you are careful how you surf. Below is a video we found about silage that Christopher and I thought was pretty cool and had nice background music.

Longwood Gardens

The last weekend in April we went to PA to visit Stephanie's father and while we were there we decided to stop by Longwood Gardens. We had a really nice time visiting and are happy to report that Stephanie's dad is doing better every time that we see him. Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers over the past 6 months, please continue praying for improvement. Here are some pictures of the fun from Longwood Gardens.

Cora's First Birthday

Happy First Birthday Cora! Not quite as messy as I expected, but still pretty messy.

Tractor

Which one of the Jamison's taught our boy how to drive tractors? Maybe it would help if the tractor was green? Luckily for now his feet do not reach the pedals (and Alan did not put the pedals on) so he can only cause so much mischief around Grandma's and Pop Pop's.

Trip to Zoo

April was a very busy month and I have lagged way behind in posting. Over the next couple of weeks I will post the highlights from April. We started off with a trip to the zoo, and here are a few of our favorite animals while we were there.
