Jaden's favorites

As I was unpacking and washing up some clothes for Jaden, he spotted this dog hat so I put it on him. As I continued my work, he wandered away to play with toys, but would frequently return to admire himself in our bedroom mirror, obviously pleased with his appearance. Jaden enjoys wearing hats. Other Jaden favorites include reading books, eating bananas, playing outside, trying to say new words and dragging an orange and purple dollar store golf club all around the house with him. He is learning new words and doing new things every week, if not every day. We are delighting in his growth and enjoying each precious day with him.

Professor Jaden

Spending time with Grandma, Grandpa and the aunts and uncles was a highlight of vacation for Jaden. He's quite a social little guy so he thoroughly enjoyed all the attention and interaction. From watching cartoons to blowing bubbles and playing ball in the yard, Jaden had plenty to do and plenty of help in doing it!

Wakeboarding tutorial

The next best thing to snowboarding...Alan turns, cuts and catches air on Deep Creek Lake, Deep Creek, MD. During our weeklong vacation, we spent several afternoons water skiing, tubing and wakeboarding. Overcast skies kept us cool as we enjoyed the watersports and the beautiful scenery around the lake situated in the foothills of western Maryland's Allegheny Mountains.
