From Pumpkin to Pie !

Hayden brought home a pumpkin plant a few months ago 

and has watched it grow daily. All he could talk about was how he was 

going to make some pie with his pumpkins.

His wish came true as you can see below. 

Hayden helped Kim make two delicious pies yesterday.

Reds Game and Nolan On The Move

We sat through a very hot and very long Reds game Sunday. We managed to stick it out for 11 innings and then called it quits. We were in Middletown when the game finally ended.

Here is a picture of Hayden after 8 innings in the sun. 

He was in no mood to cooperate for a picture.

Here is the view from our seats in section 424 Row 1

 

Here is Nolan figuring out that he can walk with the help of his push cart.

Getting The Lay Of The Land

I took Nolan up to school last night to let him feel the newly polished hardwood in the gym. I gave him a history lesson on Flyer Basketball and the importance of practicing during the off season.

Here is a shot of Nolan after I told him to run a 

few suicides to trim some of his baby fat off.
