Happy Birthday, C-Boy!!

Calvin chose an Angry Birds theme for his birthday this year. I can't believe my snuggle bug is four already! Here are some pics of the party and decor.

Leaf Scavenger Hunt

Chris wanted to start teaching the boys to identify the trees of Appalachia so he made a worksheet and we set off on a leaf scavenger hunt. Our hunt took us to a lookout in Keyser called Queen’s Point. Some highlights from the adventure included finding a snake skin, seeing the seashell fossils at the top of the rock, and finding Grandma Keckley’s house from our bird’s eye view. We found all the leaves except one, the Quaking Aspen. It was a great way to spend a sunny, Sunday afternoon.








Calvin's Playgroup

Calvin is part of a playgroup that meets twice per month. This past week we went to a local fire station and got to look around and get in the trucks. Calvin's favorite part was the Dalmatian puppet talking to him from inside the firetruck. Afterwards, we ate a fabulous lunch provided by one of the moms, Melissa.
