"I'm Two!"

Happy Birthday, Cal Baby!

The Kleinknechts treated Cal to his favorite two things: firetrucks and cookies!

All tuckered out after a fun morning of police cars, firetrucks and a picnic at the playground...

Thankfully, Meemaw (who, according to Cal, is actually Mimi now) and Mac left the Cards game after the 9th inning instead of making us wait for dinner 11 innings later!

Melda, I LOVE my new truck!!!

Mimi, thanks for the clothes! (This is more of a thank you from Cal's parents!)

Thank you Aunt Cristina for my One Stop Story Shop book! It's made it to our new bedtime routine.
Both boys loved Cal's new train set!

Travis called my banana cupcakes, banana bread with icing. Cal didn't seem to mind!

Birthday boy is ready for bed!

One of Calvin's first phrases: "Read book, Mama!"
(Ironically, his first word was "book!")

Tummy time!

The McNeillys came for dinner during their annual move across the country. Aside from Cal's perpetual tantrum, their visit went by too quickly!

It was one of those days...

Tartan Days in St. Charles!
When there weren't any fencers to watch, Cal moved straight for the trains.

Cal's latest thing: "Hi, Gorgeous!"

Nellie's first bottle!
Princess Natalie refused after about three drops.

Happy 1 Month Birthday Natalie Kay!


Sweet Nellie girl...



Another weekend- another nap with Dada...

We love meeting Nonno at the playground!


Cal's 2nd Easter egg hunt of the season was with his nursery friends. He found the ducks a little more interesting than the eggs!

Cal's 3rd Easter egg hunt was with the neighborhood kids.

Cal knows just what to do when he gets to Meemaw and Mac's. Ask Meemaw for some berries!

Family portraits before both kids leaked on their Easter outfits and I had to put Natalie in a newborn sized outfit that no longer fit and Cal in sagging sweatpants with no shirt. When will my diaper bag every be well stocked?


Calvin's 1st time dying Easter eggs- he LOVED it!

With the whole family together, part of Easter was spent celebrating Travis's birthday. Calvin got to help Daddy blow out his birthday candle. In typical toddler fashion he sprayed the entire cake with spit.

Final Easter egg hunt was at Meemaw and Mac's. By this one, Cal is an expert. Though he didn't seem to catch on to Meemaw re-hiding all of the eggs he had put in his basket.

Cal and Dada enjoying their first of many meals outside this year!
