Memorial Day Fun

We had a Memorial Day picnic at Courtney and Joel's house this year. Rowan had a fabulous time playing with Avery, although he wishes she could stand up to rough wrestling. All in good time. Soon, Avery will be giving Rowan a run for his money!

After lunch, we walked to the park and the duck ponds. Rowan walked almost the whole way, only needing a lift when we hit some big hills on the way home. "OK, I want to ride now, Mommy," he said. I thought, 'I want to ride now, kid!"





Some recent cute stories:

Rowan was a bit of a pill one day last week. Kyle, who had had enough, said to him, "Rowan, why are you acting like this?!" Rowan replied, "I'm not trying to be bad, Daddy. I'm just curious." What can you say to that?

Then yesterday, Rowan was following me around while I cleaned the house, getting into stuff and making messes behind me. I said to him, "Don't you want to go play in your room so I can get this stuff done?" He replied, "But I love you and I want to be close to you when you do your work." Of course, my heart melted.

This kid knows just what to say to keep us wrapped around his little finger!
