It's "snow" joke... April 18 brought about some very unusual weather! Derek sure enjoyed it.

Ric, Derek. and I were able to get away for a small vacation during my Spring Break. We drove to Portland to stay at the beautiful McMenamins Hotel (Edgefield). We had a great time playing in the sink, dancing, throwing golf balls into the holes, having fun at a nearby park, and running through the gardens.

Derek is super hilarious! He is actually trying to say funny things to get a laugh! In previous blogs we mentioned he knows his shapes. Now when we ask him a shape, he'll say "diamond" no matter what shape it is! He just recently said, "I eat cars, Mama!" He knows he'll get a laugh out of us for such comments. He is truly a sweet, fun, intelligent kid! I wish you all lived close by so you could see him grow-up!



Once again, Derek is enjoying dressing up for us!




Derek loves doughnuts! Just like his Papa.



This has been Derek's favorite "tool" to eat his cut up hotdog! What a hoot!!!
