Reed's cousins

Leo Daxton was baptised September 27, 2009. We were glad we could be there and help Leo celebrate his baptism and adoption with his family. He is such a good baby. When the pastor went to bless him on the forehead he started to giggle. It was the cutest thing.

Big sister, Dru was so cute. She is a very photogenic little girl. We love you.

Potty Training Success

Daddy presenting Reed with a new garbage truck. Reed picked out this truck months ago when we were in the middle of potty training. We tried so many different things to get Reed to want to potty train. Finally Labor Day weekend he said he wanted big boy pants on and we didn't hesitate. After that weekend he has done really well. He has an occasional accident but will stay dry at night. It is amazing to me that the switch went on and the next moment we are going potty like the big boys do.

Nice Job, Reed!

Graettinger, Iowa visit

Reed and Mommy tagged along on a trip to visit Grandma Lois. We hitched a ride with Grandma Sue and Aunt Yvonne. It was really nice to spend some time with Grandma Lois, Grandma Sue and Aunt Yvonne they were all able to see Reed true colors come to life. He was able to show them his independent side.
We went on a walk to the park.

Grandma Sue and Reed were doing some bird watching.

Grandma Lois has a lot of birds visiting her yard.

Aunt Yvonne and Reed playing with Grandma's plant on the patio. It is absolutely huge and had some fun things growing on it that would pop open so Reed was having some fun.
