One Millllllllion Dollars

Best Toy EVER

"It has a cord and everything."

Damon asked me, "Did Wal-Mart clap and say, 'we sold one, we sold one, we sold a phone!' ?." (too much punctuation in that sentence...is that right???)

Just for the record, they didn't do it while I was in the store. Austin LUVS this phone, and has played with it for hours!

Sleeping in a Big Boy Bed

This pic was taken the first night. I thought I might cry...this means that we are going to disassemble the crib. He has successfully slept and napped in the big bed (aka red bed) two full days now. I think it is official.

Hawk! (week 2)

This was, once again, one of the highlights of Austin's weekend. You can see how excited he is in this picture! Interestingly, very little decomposition has taken place on the outside of the hawk.

Is there really a Tiger in there?

Hawk!

Honestly...they only used the stick to point out his anatomy: talons, beak, wings, feathers, etc.! This is a well preserved hawk, and we cannot figure out how he died. Austin wanted to go back to look at this bird several times--he was very interested in him.
