Helen Claps

Sometimes you learn a new trick and it's so exciting that you fall over. This post is so that Ella-marie has a couple of videos to choose from.

Wild America!

Do we have a treat for you! We looked out our back window on Saturday afternoon and saw something amazing. We thought it would be perfect for "Wild America", so we called them up. Marty Stouffer must have been fishing on the Missouri, because within minutes he was at our house with the camera rolling. Here's a sneak preview of what just might be airing on public television soon . . .

If that wasn't exciting enough, Michelle found a great baby-backpack this week. After much searching, she decided on this one because it was the only one lighter than the baby (2lbs 9oz, and Helen weighs well over 3 lbs) and being a refurbished model, was 1/3 the cost of most others.

Helen on the Move

Helen has been on the verge of crawling since Christmas. This week she got all her body parts coordinated and has really taken off. Here is a montage of Helen demonstrating her super crawling skills.

Since she can get around now, we've insisted that she learn to pick up after herself...

Finally, I must show you the results of the bunt cake pan Michelle picked up at the Thrift store. I thought all bunt cakes should have a plant in the middle after seeing My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
