Spring Break

We had a real nice time visiting our parents during spring break. Ryan was able to do some work, Grandma Murphy had David over almost every day so I got some free time. My parents were working out of town, but were close enough they were able to come over for a couple days.

This was one of the nicer days when we were there, but it still wasn't really warm. Ryan and his dad used the sauna and then it is hooked up to shower right when you step out. David watched and got closer and closer until he couldn't get any wetter. He loved it.


Both grandmas taught David to help with the dishes. He can pull the dishes out of the rinse water and put them in the draining rack. Now I can't do dishes without him helping for at least a little while.


We were able to have a birthday party for David while we were in town and could have his grandparents and uncle attend. We made him a puppy cake and had homemade ice cream (and pulled pork sandwiches, which I love).



At Grandma Murphy's house David enjoyed playing with the pots and lids, moving them from one place to another in the kitchen or just walking around with a pot in each hand. Here Uncle Ian encouraged David to "play drums."


When we were at home David lost his balance and ended up in a pot. He didn't seem to mind too much, enjoyed having his picture taken, but then was ready to have help out.


David loves to be outside. While at home he was able to walk to the park with Grandma Pilling and they played for a while. It doesn't matter how cold it is, he wants to be outside. Soon after we took this picture there was snow on the ground. We really enjoy how happy David is!
