He has tryed twice to follow use out the door. Know he thinks its cool to started pulling him self up! I have a feeling it won't me long until he starts walking!

Vistors, Lunar Eclipse and Key Finders

Last Thursday Davids brother Andy and his Girlfriend Christine were able to visit for a few days before they went on to Ukraine with Kirk. It was good to see them again. Davie loved to pull Uncle Andy to the piano and watch him play and then try to play with him.
Wednesday night we attempted to watch the Lunar Eclipse until the clouds made it impossible to see. I tried to show my two year old, but he was not impressed!
I got this wonderful invention called a key finder. well sometimes its wonderful other times a real nuisance. Its great when you misplace your key (which I have been doing alot lately) the only problem is alot of noises set it off not just whistling. anyway Wednesday night it went off during church several times while my sister in law Charity was singing a special and once when Davie started crying. thankfully the keys were buried in my diaper bag so I don't think to many people heard it.
