Our Latest Adventures

On Tuesday I was putting laundry away upstairs and straightening up some stuff. I had been away from Cinch for 5-10 minutes and he was being quiet - TOO quiet. So I ran downstairs to check on him. This is what I found. I had left Graham crackers on the back of the couch and Cinch remembered- so he pulled down the whole package and helped himself to a snack.

Over the past month I have been SEARCHING for Cinch some mud boots. He is ruining all his good shoes when he goes outside to do chores with Daniel- which is a MUST in Cinch's life. If he gets left behind it gets ugly! Well I finally found some small enough for him and he can even walk great in them. If only I could find some waders to hose the mud off instead of his regular pants.

Now that the snow is melting Cinch has found the swing set. He LOVES to swing and especially to slide on the slide- but don't try and hold on to him or he will let you have it.


Cinch is continuing to learn to eat by himself. He has also discovered Ketchup the past month. Wouldn't Mama Dixie and Steven be proud:)! He is getting really good at eating and especially if I just leave him alone to eat.
Last Friday I took 3 of my sister's 5 girls skiing/snowboarding. One had school off and really wanted to go. I hadn't been in 2 years because of Cinch so we pulled the other 2 girls out of school and we hit the slopes for a full day of fun. It wasn't the best morning but by afternoon the sun was high and bright and it turned out great.
Daniel has been on Spring Break. The past week but has just worked through it. Maybe one day we will leave to take a vacation.

Wowzer Dowzer you guys! The pic's are great... Hazel has discovered ketchup as well just barely and eats, eats, eats it. Cinch and Hazel must be cousins and related to Steve and Granny D (all ketchup lovers)!
