This picture makes me smile. Daniel was still sleeping in his toddler bed at the time and James had learned how to climb into it. I was doing bedtime alone that night because Jacob was at a Scholastic Bowl meet, so I had both boys. Instead of getting tucked in right away after stories, James climbed into the bed too. They started to giggle and play, so even though it was past bedtime, I let them be silly and grabbed the camera! Such goofballs!
February
While Daniel was at preschool, Mimi and Pa T. came and helped me transform Daniel's Winnie the Pooh room into he and James' Paw Patrol room! He was so happy to have a big boy bed!
March
You can just see the orneriness in James' face. He was so proud that he got the ball, and was so excited to play outside on an unseasonably warm evening. His little outfit with the socks and shoes cracks me up too!
April
Just another picture that melts my heart. What you can't see is the effort it takes to get any pictures of them together. I do have a great one of them both looking and smiling, but I love this one more because you can see the adoration in James' eyes. I loves his Bubby.

This was a rare evening that James and I got some one on one time outside together. I took him down the alley like I used to do with Daniel, and let him explore this mud puddle. At first he just touched the water. Then he walked through it. Next thing I knew he was jumping and splashing. I love that you can see that he sat in the puddle at one point too. A little dirt never hurt. I just stripped him on the front porch and took him in for a bath. More splashing!
June
Launching rockets with Pa! It's really just a simple picture, and nothing fancy. I just love that it captures not only the rocket going up, but my dad and Daniel watching it blast off together. It doesn't matter how old you are or how young you are...rocket launches are always fun!
July
The Thatcher clan together again! This was a fun year because I got to see Erica twice! This day was so much fun. When mom started planning a trip to a dairy farm I wasn't overly thrilled, because who goes on a trip to a dairy farm? Except it turned out to be this awesome day. We fed baby calves, milk a cow, pet and fed kangaroos (because that seems normal for a dairy farm!), and ate ice cream.
August
One of those rare moments when Daniel decides to pause long enough for a picture and it turns out perfect! I love this one of us.
4 more months left to fill up with memories. This was not an easy task because some months I have many favorite pictures, so I just had to pick one and roll with it!
