We've Missed You

The long Absence  

Sorry for the long absence, we have been very busy it seems this last month with all the warm weather, so much to do.

Payton has been learning all sorts of new things.  On May 20th he finally learned how to crawl forward, we were all so excited especially Payton who promptly sat up and clapped for him self. 
But the crawling simply was not enough for our Payt not a week later he started pulling himself up (on just about everything), and a week after that we was walking with his walker.


At this point he can get himself about anywhere he needs (well wants) to be and is very hard to catch.  Needless to say the baby gates have gone up.  He still seems to be able to get himself into trouble though, I have had to clear the house of anything that is Payton height otherwise it gets thrown on the floor or used as a hammer.

He is also babbling quite a bit and can pretty clearly say dada. And sometime it sounds like he says Hi or Yeah.  Probably wishful thinking on my part though...  

We have been busy with the house too, we cleared out the grass in-front of the house for a nice flower bed with the help of Pat's parents and also the garden on the side of the house.  It looks great.  

Pat has been busy studying as he is going back to school, he started a class in May.  He is working so hard and I am so proud of him.  

I have also been working on a side project of my own, handmade items that you can find at sweetthings3.etsy.com.  I am in the start-up phase right now but have a few items posted.  I will be sending out emails to all for the grand opening.

I also am attaching so pictures from the big storm we had on Sunday.  Lots of hail and big winds!!
