How bad are we at blogging? Well we just let a year go by without an update. Yeah that is pretty bad. Hopefully this update will bring you up to speed on our life.

The Duke is a quite a kid. He is extremely opinionated and quite spunky. One the flip side, he is full of kindness , cares about others, and is doing an awesome job at using manners. He really needs a sibling, and it is most evident by his desire to have someone to play with most of the time (We are on the wait list and making our way towards a brother or a sister). We are often surprise by his intelligence and his ability to understand difficult concepts. Someday he will be a wise man of God, who goes hard after the things of Christ.

Below are some pictures to highlight the past year.












Easter

We took Landon to an Easter Egg Hunt at one of the local churches in our town. Since we have been getting so much rain these days, the hunt was indoors. As we walked down the hall to the room where Landon's age group would be hunting eggs, Landon was so excited (not because he loves Easter egg hunts, but because he could see all the "balls" laying all over the floor.) As soon as we were in the room the lady announced that the kids could go. Landon took off running and kicking the eggs. Ian has been playing soccer with Landon since he was able to walk so it just made sense for him to kick the eggs. I did manage to catch up with him and tried to explain what he was to do with the eggs but he wanted nothing to do with it. As soon as we did fill his bucket he took it and dumped it out all over the floor. Oh well, the kids around him where happy and we really didn't need the candy. He did leave with a few eggs and his prize possession (peanut butter cup). He savored every minute of this wonderful treat. It took him 20 minutes to eat it because all he would do is lick it. Nothing wrong with savoring a good piece of chocolate.





Notice Landon's empty bucket!!! Poor guy!!!

Landon at the Museum

A few weeks ago we visited the " Bloomsburg Children's Museum". To say that Landon enjoyed himself would be a huge understatement!!!! The minute we walked through the doors he was off running!!! He was so busy just taking it all in, this boy loves life. Ian and I feel completely blessed to be able to experience the world through Landon's eyes. Just a few pictures from our day.

My sister-in-law Amy and my adorable nephew, Liam.



Landon was having a great time playing with these Lego- like toys until I discovered that he was trying to eat one of the pieces. I had to remove it from his mouth and that caused a little heart break for the little guy. Uncle Wes was able to catch the whole tantrum with pictures. Landon is really good at throwing a tantrum but also really quick to get over them. These last four pictures are proof. Usually a little drink from RUBA (the name that Landon made up for sippy cup!! Don't know where it came from) is all it takes to make him happy again.





Extreme "Wabba"

For about the last two weeks Landon has become obsessed with washing his hands. It has nothing to do with having good hygiene and everything to do with making a huge mess with the water and soap. As soon as he hears the water running anywhere he runs to the bathroom yelling "wabba, wabba" (landon language for wash). This particular day he got a little carried away. I had just finished changing his diaper and he ran away from me as soon as I had his onesie snapped. It is always a chore to actually get his pants back on because my little guy can only lay for so long before he runs off. So, I went into the bathroom to wash (wabba) my hands whenLandon came charging after me. I think he had this planned in advance!! I lifted him on my knee so he could wash too. Before I knew it he was in the sink and had the biggest smile on his face. He fit perfectly and looked so adorable. I thought, If he is actually going to sit then I will take advantage of it. He played in the sink for one full hour. He had so much fun just looking at his reflection in the faucet and then smearing it with soap. It's the little things that make him so happy. I took a half hour shift watching him until Ian got home from work and then he sat and watched him for the second half hour. Landon was a little sad when EXTREME WABBA came to an end but he still had bath time to look forward to.
