  • Parker chit chats with Mommy

    Parker does his best ‘flipper-the-dolphin’ impression:

    Mommy and parker have a deep conversation:

  • Balance bike

    Nanna and Poppa D got Skylar a balance bike for her second birthday. Here we are trying it out for the first time in the house:

  • Skylar Bday Culpeper

    We had ambitious plans to have Skylars birthday party at Dad’s, then go drop by the soap box derby to see G and Mason race, and then finish up the day by attending a family reunion in Lignum. Skylar didn’t nap on the way down, and then Parker napped for 3.5 hours at Dad’s so we didn’t get too far.

  • Pool time!

    There are so many ways to enter the swimming pool, but my favorite is the push and fall:

  • Front yard playing

    We didn’t have time to go to the pool so we thought we would switch it up and play in the front yard with the sprinkler and our water table – aka, the poor mans pool.

  • Mr. Smiley pants

    Most people’s first comment upon meeting Park is: he sure does smile a lot for a baby. Yes, Mr Smily Pants does smile alot:

  • Short excursion to VA beach

    Susan and I were lamenting one night how we weren’t going to make it to the beach this summer when the ultimate gift landed in my lap.  My boss had to cancel going to Norfolk with me for a meeting so I would be going alone.  Cha-ching!  Can you say whole family beach trip staying ocean front for 3 days!!  YES…

    Skylar and daddy do everything together.  These pics shows us discussing the detailed life of a ‘digger’ whilst Skylar keeps a vigilant eye out for waves, digging out the hole for the tent, and then packing it with our feet.

    He’s obviously go my rhythm.

  • Skylar the entertainer

    Skylar keeps us laughing as we drive to Walnut Creek CA:
