Busy Little Guy

Today is the season opener for our very own Jacksonville Suns, which is the minor league baseball team here. Tobias really wants to take James to his first baseball game, so we're going. In honor of the occasion I put James in his little baseball outfit - doesn't he look cute?!
Yesterday we went to the zoo with our friend Joanne and her 22 month old twins, Naomi and Julius. Aren't they the sweetest looking kids ever?! These kids are destined for greatness - both their parents were varsity athletes at the Naval Academy and very intelligent (Joanne was a math major and Dan was a computer science major). Not only are they smart and intelligent, they're also so nice and very funny.My wonderful roommate, Stephanie, from the mighty warship, USS PRINCETON (CG-59), was in town from San Diego for a conference and came to visit. Stephanie was only here for one night, but watched James for us so Tobias and I could enjoy a date before he leaves on deployment.
Look at Steph with all those ribbons, she's a regular war hero! Thanks for your help with James Steph!

Tobias leaves in a couple days and is all prepared with the exception of saying goodbye to James. Tobias knows he's going to miss out on a lot being gone for 7 months so he's been coming home early to play with James.Here's Tobias and James playing with James' first Hot Wheels car.
James and I love to go on walks with Bandit, our dog. James usually gets really relaxed and will fall asleep about half way through the walks.
As James gets stronger, he also likes to play more. He finds belly time enjoyable now too. He rolls over, but it's not intentional yet.

Play time!
And more play time!

Fast as the Flash

The boys have a need for speed!  Recently James and Eli built Pine Wood derby cars to compete in the James' Boy Scout troop. In the beginning... We did some scholarly research to prepare.  Thank you YouTube! My step-dad, AKA Pawpaw was a big help and taught James to use power tools. Sanding is always fun! James designed and built his car with minimal assistance. Spray paint is always fun. Added weights to make it as heavy as the rules allowed. The finished products! The race was a lot of fun! James didn't win but he worked really hard and was really proud of his car. While his derby car wasn't the fastest, James was the fastest in a recent track race.  My future Olympic sprinter!   Zoom zoom zoom

M-I-C-K-E-Y and a bunch of other fun stuff

Everyone grab their Mickey Ears!  We just returned from a wonderful vacation to Walt Disney World.  We flew down to FL from MA, my sister and her beautiful family and my aunt and cousin all flew from CA, and my mom traveled from MO!   All 11 of us stayed in one beautiful villa right on the Walt Disney property and had a great time. We celebrated JillMama's 60th birthday in style.   We also celebrated my nephew's 2nd birthday while in WDW! Everyone had a great time! We celebrated Halloween a little early at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!   Can you tell we're the Avengers!?!  Eli was the Incredible Hulk, Tobias was Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man), James was Captain America, and I was Black Widow. By the end of the night, the Incredible Hulk was done, but still really cute! Gabe (age 4) and James got along great! Elias and Gavin (also 2) were fast friends too. Fun times on a ride with my little man! Rrrr Matey!  ...

Winter in Boston

Happy February!  I can't believe I haven't updated since November when we've had such an exciting couple of months!   Our Lego family for Christmas 2014 designed by James!  There are a lot of firsts and developmental milestones in first grade!  James finished his first chapter book over the Christmas break!  So proud of him - he is reading above grade level. James also remains very active with track and is working with his gym teacher to start a running club at his elementary school! This was a fun assignment for the entire family.  Once he completed the assignment, James presented it to his class. We did family Christmas pictures this year with a great photographer.  We met at Minute Man National Park - where Paul Revere was captured- and had fun taking pictures together.  I worked the night before and it was cold out, but the pictures still turned out great! The 2014 Walters Family Christmas picture! My two cuti...
