Grama Leslie Visit Day 5

First of all, I am told that Alex’s pronunciation is more like “Teema Essie” than “Grama Leslie”. :-)

OK, we’re here. But where is the potty?

On the rocks

River swirls

Follow that leaf!

Making his way through the rock field

Wait, this river is WET??

Maybe I’ll touch it for just a bit.

Nope, that’s enough, I’m out!

Old Home Movie: Alex’s 1st Birthday

I figured that since we are coming up fast on Alex’s 3rd birthday, I’d go ahead and post some highlights of his 1st birthday. You know, for the three or four relatives who will actually watch it. :-)

Edit 2012 Aug 17 07:35 UTC to swap video for slightly revised one adding in one clip I’d missed the first time.
