Pumpkins

For Halloween, Praetorian got to pick out his own pumpkin and help carve it.

July 4th

For July 4th, we went to a friend of Chris' beach house. We got to go tubing and Praetorian had his first boat ride.

Update

I just noticed that my last post was in April and I was also given a message to update this from relatives in Indiana. :) After that, I had the outage at work and things were very busy. Things have finally calmed down, so here are some new pictures. In May, Praetorian turned 2. We went to Maryland to celebrate his birthday with the Taylors.

In July, Annalouise and I drove to West Virginia to visit with Janmarie, Patricia, and Michelle. We had a really good time, especially on our drive there which was interesting with just the two of us.

Praetorian will be two next month. He has changed a lot in the last couple of months, even weeks. He is talking a LOT more now, which is so much fun. He first got no, yes, Mom, and Dad down. Then he started saying animals and their sounds, which is so funny. He has the growl for lions and bears down pat. Michelle and Natalie came to visit a couple of weeks ago and he absolutely loves his new cousin. He can't say many names, but he had no problem with Natalie. He was very gentle and sweet with her, which was a relief since he can be very rough. He is also going through the 'I hate clothes' stage. Luckily, he understands that he has to wear clothes outside of the house, but as soon as he gets home, the clothes come off and stay off.

Trip to Maryland - March 2009

It's been a while again...Here are some new pictures. In March, Praetorian, Janmarie and I took a trip to Maryland. We got to visit with some friends and spend some time on the Island. We all had a really good time.

Update

It has been a long time since I've posted anything. Things have been a little crazy here. Since my last post, Praetorian has had his 2nd Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and Praetorian has changed from a baby into a little boy. He continues to amaze us every day with something new he has learned and his overall understanding of the world around him. Here are some pictures from the last few months to show you just how much he has changed.
