Climber (by Krista)

So Will has become a little climber. Lately he has been pulling himself up on just about everything including his crib which is all the way lowered (Mike edit: The crib bed surface gets lowered, effectively raising the crib rails). He is a little monkey!

I was doing laundry one day and he decided to join me.



We bought a walker toy for him and he soon discovered a new use for it!



Don't you like the weights at the bottom?

Last night he was so desperate to get into the tub.



I love how much of a monkey he is but at the same time, in Mike's words, "Little boy, your going to give your mom a heart attack!"

Boating Time!

We're putting the boat in the water on the 19th...of April... Or as Reeder likes to call it "Boat Ahoy". We're scheduling dates this year which is a little bit tougher than the "call everyone when you're in the mood" method we've previously used, but I think it will work out for the better. I've already reached out to some people to schedule boating dates but if I haven't talked to you yet, call me (Paynes, Algonquin Pankaus, Elmhurst Pankaus - I'm talking to you). My summer is fairly busy but unlike last year, I want to make relaxation time a priority and scheduling dates ahead of time is part of that.

As usual, I'm excited and cannot wait to get the season started. I'm a little frustrated with time commitments I have with other things (serving at church, school, etc) but there's nothing I can really do about that at this point. I'll be done with school soon enough and then we'll see a whole new side of life...I hope.

That's it for now - but seriously, call me if you want to set some dates to go out.
