May have been a little overdue, but it went well.

After!

Big boy with trusty nuk.

Thanks, Duane at the Kahler Barber Shop!

Back at home and happy.

Spring in MN...

...it may not be pretty, but all the snow is gone.

It's just a matter of time until all "All About Alistair " 

followers WISH they lived in Olmsted County, eh?

As our neighbor Janice said - 

"You better be careful, he may start to manipulate you."

We choose to think she was referring to his cuteness - 

Strollin'

More Strollin' - it's so nice to be out in the sun.

Alistair will be 8 before this guy 

wears another uniform.

Hooray!

And Al's mommy and daddy will be 40. 

More Tucson Pics

As promised...

Thanks, Uncle Scott, for the photos!

If anyone can tell me how to rotate a video, we've got some cute clips as well : )

Quel Vacances

A week in Tucson with:

Granny B and Grampy

Lyell and Scott

Sarah and Tony

ALL the Kings, including Abigail and bebe Walter.

*Plus* during the week, Papa took a bonus trip to Atlanta 

featuring Steve, Billy and the ACC, 

*Plus* a driving trip to Easley with these guys and the McKie Grandparents.

Yes, we know our way around a relaxing vacation. 

Here are a few highlights, minus the ATL trip since Papa didn't get the digicam.

Mommy and Al hiking in honeybee canyon.

Petroglyphs

Uncle Scott and Al

Silly Grampy and silly Alistair - who has the funnier face?!

Yoga in high chair

Upside down with Papa = loads of fun

Granny thinks Al is funny.

Dan, Anna and new baby Walter!

Sarah, Alistair, and Al's mommy

Skeptical Abby and Jamie

Uncle Scott and Uncle Lyell

Auntie Sarah

And more to come, seriously y'all.

Quite a trip.

Quiet Saturday

*News Flash*

After lots of waiting, Al is mobile!

It's not exactly a crawl, but he gets around quite well
scooting on his bottom or squirming on his abdomen.

He prefers to cover ground on the slipper wood floor.

Of course, it would be too easy to have a short video of this - 

but here are some nice shots from this weekend.

Creeping around in bear snowsuit.

Alistair and Mommy - notice absence of down jacket - it was 39 degrees!

Blue and Papa

Broccoli!

This is what Papa thinks of sweet potato and
"organic spring vegetable mix"-
apparently better to wear than to eat.

Lucky Alistair...

Some people may think 2 sheepdog toys is superfluous

Can you ever really have enough?

Sunny morning coffee visit with friend Molly.

Serious Al, at power lunch with Ms. Ip.

Mo' Cousins...

....these ones of the domestic variety.

Annie, Gracie, Auntie Becs, Uncle Manuel and Granny B 

came down for the day on Sunday

That is a boatful of bebes.

2 in need of haircuts.

Stay tuned! 

More pics from Auntie Nora coming.

And a warm spring adventure on the way...

but don't worry, snow serpent not going anywhere fast.
