8/17/08 I think some of my brothers may be concerned that we might not give Levi a big enough dose of good 'ol American sports like baseball and football (stick and ball sports). While it is true that he would be disowned if he ever had a NASCAR poster, these pictures show that he is not completely deprived. This coming week is birthday week, shoud be fun.
7/14/08 Levi likes berry season a lot (see also farmpage) He would jet down to my parents blueberry bushes as soon as he got out of the car last season
6/8/08 Levi is nervous about lots of things like his new shoes, but is not at all scared about handleing grown up equipment like cameras, computers, sharp knives, or in this case dad's sunglasses.

6/3/08 Levi does not like the new chainsaw "it's loud" which is just as well but he did want to help haul wood. He also wants to help gardening, so we are glad he wants to help out.

5/9/08 Levi has talked a couple of times when he has gotten out of bed of watching scary movies, he hasn't woken up often with nightmares but we thought was an interesting way of talking about dreams. When your TV time consists of Thomas the tank engine and ski videos lots of other things can seem pretty scary.

 
4/8/08 Levi out for a walk with his teddy, just like mommy takes Esther out.
3/28/08 So Levi got out on his bike for the first time this year on Wednesday. We have had a cold march though not much new snow. He is now tall enough to use the stock seat so it looks more offical.
3/6/08 It seems that Levi has figured out the joy of sledding. He was up at Grandma's and she took him out on the green circle part of their black diamond driveway/sledding hill, and kept asking for more runs. He hasn't caught on that you are supposed to pull your own sled back up the hill.
2.10.08 Levi is not always enthused about going outside in the winter but today he was excited to go out and shovel with daddy.
1/30/08 This video is actually from Dec. but it was on another computer and I hadn't gotten around to getting uploaded, so anyway here it is. Carmen said he sessioned this mound for quite a while, but he is freaked out a little bit by the sled. I think it is kind of like an adult gettting on 225cm downhill skis and skiing the bunny hill, pretty scary. Levi Sledding  
1/24/08 Scanning drawings? How old fashioned of me. Why don't I just take some pictures of them, much faster.
1/19/08 Current favorite pasttime? Sliding in his stocking feet on the kitchen floor. It appears he will ride goofy foot for those familier with board sports lingo.  

1/10/2008 So here we are at 2008, Getting geared up for Levi's brother or sister to arrive. Good holiday times and now that we are through with colds and bugs that came with it we are ready to tackle the new year. Levi is starting off 2008 with a pretty good grasp of the English language with full sentances and correct grammer sometimes. He loves to bake and eat the final product. If it tastes sweet, is a made from grain, fruit, or dairy he will love it, veggies or meat not so much.

Some time I am going to get some of his drawings scanned in and posted. He draws fish, crocadiles, elephants, and sometimes like today, the number 6. He wants to go "skiboarding" but we can't get them small enough, so he contents himself with sliding on his rear.
