Farewell - for now....

Well, this is the end (for my solo blog at least). Dad has set up a new site for pictures of my sister and me, and while it's been a bit of an adjustment not being the only child, I'm doing great. From now on, you should go to the new site:

It's been fun spending this time with all of you, and I look forward to giving you new and more insights into what we're doing as a family on the new blog.

Until then, thanks a lot for everything,

Walter Michael.

last day as a single

Yes, I am being induced tomorrow and walt and I are still galavanting around StL. I just am not a stay at home person. So today we went to Monkey Joes. It is a place with a ton of those inflatables that kids can jump in. It was fun. Here are a couple videos and pictures of walt's last day as a single child. Poor kid, he does not really "know" what is happening....

City Garden

Today, we went down to the riverfront to watch the air show. Walt wasn't really impressed, and after it was over, we went to City Garden to play in the fountains. Here are some pictures.

Happy 4th of July

Walt in his underwear wishing everyone out there a happy Independence Day.

Botanical Garden

On Saturday, we went to the Botanical Gardens to see their dinosaur exhibit. The dinosaurs were a bit underwhelming, but it was a good time nonetheless. In the first two pictures, Walt dressed up as a ladybug, and was pollenating flowers - I know, VERY masucline. In the third picture, he's dressed up as an Indian (presumably ready to stereotypically scalp some unsuspecting paleface).

Breakfast

Not much here really, just Walt having breakfast. French toast.

walt or a shark?

Just Walt being Walt 2

Here are some funny pictures of walt and his life....

-I (sara) love to read the paper everyday with breakfast, so now walt reads the comics everyday with me. It is pretty adorable

-Walt loves to wear sunglasses, his or sometimes Sara's

-We went to the zoo today and we are at the very awesome penguin exhibit and all he wants to do is listen to info about the penguins on the phone, mind you there are live penguins just a few feet away...

cousin swim party

Walt is spending 2 days down with Diane and Wally. Diane was so sweet to email us some pictures tonight of Baxter and Walt at the great pool by their house. Looks like they were both in heaven. We are so lucky to have some wonderfully fabulous grandparents!

The Magic House

We had a great time at the St Louis Children's Museum called the Magic House. Walt just went from exhibit to exhibit. He checked babies heartbeats in the nursery, made pizza, went grocery shopping, built houses, blew bubbles, and then went outside to make sand castles. It was a great morning.
