Rocket vs. the Duck

This is an older video we have of Rocket "talking" with a rubber duck we got from a March of Dimes event. It's just something cute he's done before. Poor little guy is always on edge...

a project revisited

Well I came home today to find Daulton on the couch, surrounded by legos. He and Chris had started this big project back during the holidays. I think it must have been a Christmas present? So today Daulton felt like getting back to it...he actually made quite a bit of progress. We left for a short time to get some ice cream, and when we got back he went right back at it again. It sounds like it's going to live on the living room floor until tomorrow morning when he plans to resume building...

luck, finally

Daulton and I had a little adventure on Saturday. We drove 45 minutes to Meadville only to find we had missed the St. Patrick's Day parade! To be sure we hadn't wasted the trip, we bought some goodies and something called a mashmallow gun at a local shop, got footlong hot dogs for lunch, and then finally headed back to Erie.

I realized we were getting back to Erie just as it was time for that parade to start. So we found a great parking spot and enjoyed the 35-minute parade, complete with llamas, clowns, floats, and plenty of candy. The sun stayed out long enough to keep us warm in the chilly weather, and there were a lot of people out. Daulton was nice enough to agree I had redeemed myself!

bruce?

I walked inside the other night and found Daulton sitting on the couch. Of course I had to remind Daulton who Bruce Springsteen actually is, but it was fun to find a photo of him so we could compare.
