Easter Weekend

This is a little boy that loves his Daddy!

We went to Aldridge Gardens and Daniel had some pictures made with the bunny statue.

Daniel was very good at hunting Easter eggs.  I guess it isn't very hard when they are all laying right in the middle of the yard!

We had lunch at my parents house after church.  Daniel and Mary Linnley loved strolling around and riding in the wagon.

All in all, we had a wonderful Easter weekend!  Christ the Lord has risen today!  Alleluia!

He Loves to Swing

Today we spent the morning at Homewood Park.  We enjoyed the swings, the slides and walking around the sidewalk while people-watching. 

To the Zoo

Daniel's school went to the zoo the day that the awful tornados came through Alabama.  Our field trip was early in the morning, so we were still able to visit all of our zoo friends before the storms came.  We didn't get to see the real elephants; they were still sleeping.  We did get to see many other animals, and can't wait to go back for more fun!

School

Daniel loves school (daycare).  The last few days, instead of carrying him into the classroom, I have been letting him walk by himself.

He typically walks directly to his room, turns, and waves bye-bye.

Yesterday, parents came in to watch the children during nap time so the teachers in the center could go to lunch together.  I volunteered for an hour.  It still amazes me that the children sleep on their cots so well at this age. 

Other than one child that tried to "sleep-crawl," the nap hour went very well.
We love Daniel's daycare, and couldn't be happier with the things he is learning there.  Below are some of his "signs."

STOP!

Please

Tub time

Just a little more evidence that Daniel loves tub time!
