Carrington Joins the "One" Club

What a fun time we had in Knoxville last weekend celebrating Carrington's first birthday. We jumped in an entire room full of trampolines, Madeline gave Gran T a special manicure, and we all had a very pink birthday celebration for our favorite one-year-old.

Snow Fun at Wintergreen

We had a great time last weekend at Wintergreen. Patrick spent an entire day at ski school and then went back the next day for another lesson. We all loved tubing at the plunge, spying raccoons and deer, and hanging out in the house. In typical little-sister fashion Madeline crashed Patrick's first slumber party, inserting her princess sleeping bag right in the middle of the action.

Another Two Bite the Dust

Patrick has lost two teeth THIS WEEK! Bringing the grand total to seven! How many teeth do you need to still be able to chew food?

Testing the cars

Patrick's car is on the far left, his name on the screen at top. His car finished second in this heat.

Watching Patrick build and race his first Pinewood Derby car this year has been a true delight. He carefully selected the design with Donald, chose the dragon stickers, painted it green, and thankfully he was able to participate in a friend's derby as we were away for his own pack event. 'Greased Lightning' didn't win a prize but the racing team picked up a lot of great ideas and we'll be back next year!
