Bedtime ritual

Here is Alex, fully immersed in his bedtime ritual: reading with daddy. I wasn't kidding - he is obsessed with the pint-sized rocking chair in his room. As soon as he walks into his room, he throws the blanket and pillow that usually sit on the rocker onto the floor. He likes to drag the rocking chair out into the hall, where he tries to throw one leg over it and mount it like a horse. When that doesn't work, he motions and grunts for us to help him sit in it. Hilarious.

Weekend Play

We've had some wonderfully low-key weekends lately, and Alex would like to share some photos of how he's spent these lazy days:

1. At the Kite Festival.








2. Stretching out his birthday for an entire month.


3. Hanging out with Grandma Susie.


4. At the park.






5. Strolling around the neighborhood.


6. Swinging.



7. Eating.



8. At Wintergreen.










9. Running.

10. Just lying around.




Visit with Great Grandpa

Here are some pictures from Alex's visit with his Great Grandpa Braggins in North Carolina a few weeks ago.



Somewhere along the line, he lost his clothes ...




Thankfully, we found them before lunch.



Alex isn't much of a snuggler, but he loved sharing his bear with his Great Grandpa.


Alex thinks Great Grandpa is GREAT! We are looking forward to another visit later this summer.
