This past week brought the return of Emily Elmer. Wahoo! I’m so excited to have this dear friend back here close where we can do art projects to our hearts content. Yesterday she came over and helped me make a chocolate cake, and we talked about all our great ideas for projects.

Calvin is officially a walker. He’s been walking as far as twenty feet at a time for a couple weeks now, but we always had to trick him into it . . . get him going and then suddenly let go, or push him in the direction of someone cooing and calling at him. But suddenly on Friday he decided he could do it himself, and started letting go himself! At first it was only two or three feet at a time – from the couch to the table, or one side of a door way to another. Then he would still hold on to the couch, wall, what-have-you to continue on his way. But today I saw him let go of the wall at one end of the hall and walk the entire distance, right down the middle! He still likes to get “somewhere” where he can again grab onto something, but he doesn’t hold on to stuff while he walks. What a big boy! SUPER CAL!

I’ve done some rearranging of database info on the website this week, and without going too into it, let’s just say I’ve redone the “Scrapbook” section of the website. Hopefully you’ll like the cleaner, but more colorful and fun look. I still have a few little problems to fix, but I’ve added some functionality that wasn’t available in the old pages. So check it out!
