H has turned 18 months. We decided to celebrate 1/2 birthdays in our family when S was born so close to Christmas. It is a small family affair with cake and a couple of presents. H thought it was a great idea.
S is eager to learn his numbers and has been practicing in this workbook that we got him for that purpose.
On the evening of April 4th, I came home from a shopping expedition to find this waiting for me in the fridge, courtesy of H and S. They saved me some.
Several years ago, I got the idea to make a sock doll version of our family for S to play with. I started with the baby that I was expecting at the time. Unfortunately, our daughter died shortly after birth and I never did finish the sock doll family. Still, I keep this doll around because it reminds me of our angel and on the night of April 3rd, she was the most photogenic object in sight.
Here is a picture of the artist at work. Notice his person with extra long arms in the background.
I meant to take a picture of the April Fool’s joke I played for Samuel; I served jello in juice cups with straws. He thought it was great fun, but all the jello was consumed before I remembered to take a picture. So instead, I give you a picture of some artwork belonging to H.
This is a quick picture of one of S’s drawings. In just the last few weeks, he’s started drawing people with heads, bodies, arms, and legs.

Just one of the sights we saw on our walk around town yesterday.
We’re still not sure why this fire engine was at our neighbor’s home, but H loved seeing it!
