Alex's "Inside" Choo-choo

As many of you know, Alex is a big fan of cars, trucks and especially trains! On our most recent visit to Maw-maw and Papa's, Alex came back talking about the choo-choo outside (my parents live next to train tracks for those of you who may not know). After a visit to a friend's house for lunch, Alex discovered he wanted an "inside choo-choo" like his friend. So Kevin and I took the trip to the store to buy a little model train for Alex to play with. He LOVES his train! It is just the basic Thomas set, but he plays with it for hours everyday! I have posted some pictures below for all of you to enjoy!

Our Trip to Ohio

Alexander and I headed to Ohio to stay with Mom and Dad while Kevin was in Washington D.C. for nearly two weeks. We got to celebrate Independence Day and have many little adventures while we were there. Alex has really started talking and repeats pretty much everything we say. (Probably should watch what I say now.) He had such a great time visiting Papa and Maw-maw (the name he came up with for my mom) and with Grandma and Papi. Alex loved our bike rides and was very excited to play outside with Uncle Carl and Uncle Tom. It was very nice to get to spend some time with Kevin and not have to be alone while Kevin was away. Happily, Kevin is home now and Alex was VERY excited to see his Daddy. He jumped up and down with a huge smile on his face and the first thing he wanted Daddy to do was to swing him around. Only one more trip left to go this summer, then we get to relax at home and wait for our newest baby boy to come. :) Enjoy the pictures.

All toys are pool toys to Alex...
