Phoenix 2011

Finally getting a few pictures up from our trip to Arizona.
We went to celebrate Great Grandma Betty's birthday 
All our cousins were there too. It was a lot of fun even though it was soooo hot.
Thank goodness for all the pools!

Shoelaces

Claudia,

You came downstairs to the kitchen this past Friday wearing William's black dress shoes.

You:  "Look.  I tied these.".

Me:  Really?  (noticing that they were actually tied correctly) How did you do that?

You:  Like this... and you showed me how you tied your shoes.

Me:  Where did you learn how to do that?

You:  I've been watching Dad tie my shoes.

Me:  Hmmmm

Then we cheered loudly and danced around the kitchen. I shouted the good news to William. He wasn't as impressed as I was... I detected a bit of jealousy.

Congratulations my little shoe-tier!
