Alden has started to love reading books, I will often find him in his room looking through some of his favorite stories. My favorite is when I hear him reading them from the other room. Some of the stories he almost has memorized, so it is fun to hear his rendition when I am out of the room.


Alden has become very attached to his firetruck. He takes it with him almost everywhere we go. Any time we leave the house he gets on it and rides it to the car. The other picture is of little Calvin. He is growing up so fast and is such a joy to have around. Over Christmas he got sick, during that time we did not see many smiles out of him, but he is now back to his old smiling self, of which we are very grateful.
