Dear Daddy, It doesn’t seem long ago when we ALL fit in your lap… but now we’re growing up into little men who can’t wait to be just like our daddy… but we’re not too big to hold your hand…. or to follow your lead…. or jump in your arms… or rub noses…. or to …

Look Who’s Walking 2!

June 3rd, 2008

I’ve needed to post this for a while now…. (Check out pro-walker Brooks in the background.) He’s soooooo proud of himself and LOVES the attention. He’s up to about 7-10 steps this week. So what do his parents have to say?????? “It’s about time, Henry!!!!!!!” Afterall you’ve been climbing this for months.. And then there’s …
