We're Back in Action!

Ok so we couldn't retrieve any of my stuff from the old hard drive. I know, I am trying not to think about it and move on but at least I have been doing this blog for long enough that I have most of my very favorite pictures on here. If any of you have any great pics of Dean let me know and maybe I can copy them. I have decided also to make a scrapbook for Dean. I know its mostly for me but who doesnt like looking at a whole book about themselves later in life? Well I know I have a lot of catching up to do so here goes....I've got to warn you, it's a long one. So here's Dean on Memorial Day. We went to Houston Woods with the Hulshults. Here's Daddy and Dean being silly at lunch, and Dean with his mouth full... surprise, surprise. Dean just got a new sand and water table that he just loves so he puts the sand in the water. And yes I know, it is a Cincinnati Reds outfit and no Tony didnt know I had it on him... Go Cubs. Here is Dean at Miriam and Shawn's Rehearsal dinner, it was great because right outside was an awsome playground that Dean spotted right away. This was in one of those playhouses. Daddy lending a helping hand. So we have realized that Dean is not a patient child, not unlike many other children, but when I am fixing dinner he likes to pull up a chair and watch/help. Well not only does he like raw tomatoes but we discovered he likes raw corn too. here he is chowing down.

Here's Tony, Dean, Uncle Nate and Cousin Brayden on Father's Day. We went to play with Ginny and Evan and Sarah one afternoon and Dean loves their new swingset. THis is the first time he has worn and actually kept sunglasses on. He's so cool. We have come to the conclusion that we can no longer buy anything without sharing with Dean. Tony stopped and got an icee the other day and Dean pretty much claimed it as his own. I suppose he is going to force us to eat better since we can't sneak anything past him.

Dean has started to bat his eyes and we all think its funny so here he is, being cute.
