Practicing for the Future

A couple of weeks ago, Mark and Kate had to attend school on Saturday (snow day make-up). Friends of ours are both teachers and had to be at school as well. So, Lauren and I volunteered to babysit their 3 month old son, Adam, that morning. I knew Lauren wouldn't mind seeing as how she still wants to have 4 children of her own someday, 2 boys and 2 girls. She definitely has a maternal instinct.

By the looks of these pictures, she's off to a good start!

Slip 'n Slide (NC Style)

The girls received a Slip 'n Slide for Christmas. With the warmer temperatures this month we decided to give the gift a trial run. During their first attempts, they remained stationary. Lesson #1: a slope in the yard is helpful.

Yet thanks to their Dad, Mark was able to give the girls a shove sending them down the slippery run. Both girls seemed to enjoy it! So far...a good investment.
