This picture of Tru was taken at dinner tonight. Look how old she looks. I can’t believe she’s growing up so fast!

Tru, 4.5 years old.

We went to Atlanta to Ally’s house, and Kerri, Melissa, and Daddy met us there. Here are the pictures from our visit.

Heidi and Tru “swam” for the first time today. I bought a blow-up swimming pool at Target, but I didn’t realize how small it was! We may have been better off swimming in a flower pot! I let the water warm up in the sun, and then they had fun in it. Tru did a wonderful job of helping Heidi in and out of the pool. There are pictures available on page 2 and page 3.

There is also video of the birthday party and the swimming that Mike will put online as soon as enough people bug him about it!

Today is Heidi’s birthday! She is one year old. I can’t believe it’s been a year since she was born. She’s 23 pounds now. She’s standing. She can say “Mama,” “Daddy,” “baba” (bottle), “chee” (Cheerios), and “bye-bye.” She can sign “more” and “up.” We’re working on “drink,” “down,” “good,” and “food.” She loves to shake her head at us when we say “No!”

We had Heidi’s birthday “party” on Saturday. Mallory, Ryan, Mark, Georgia Elizabeth, and Anna came over, and we had lots of fun and cupcakes! Heidi enjoyed her cake, after I resorted to feeding her with a spoon! She did not like being dirty. Pictures are available here.

Above is a trailer for a new movie coming out soon. I thought it looked hilarious so I thought I’d share. Also, I wanted an excuse to try embedding a Hulu video

Bird Cam

We installed a camera on our front porch. We have a bird that comes each year and makes a nest on the top of one of the columns of our front porch. We aimed the cam at him and installed some software that captures videos whenever it detects motion. Here is a short clip.

Here’s the video!
