Steven's 4th birthday!

We celebrated Steven's 4th birthday by going to the Duluth Depot (and Children's Museum) and following up with lunch and cake at McDonald's. With all the grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and a friend's family, our group came to 27 and we had a great time.

First Pony Rides

A Few of My Favorite Things...

Each of my children love to look at books...

It's so exciting to hear Steven read. He especially likes to read to his grandparents.

Steven's track building began on his table...

But soon his engineering skills required more space...

He built this track all by himself. He enjoys building new and different layouts each day.

Best buds...

Steven and Hannah are best buds and play together real well (most of the time). Their latest play has been where Steven pretends he's the Daddy and Hannah's the Baby and he reads to her while she sits in his lap.
