Now that W. is toddling, he is going to transition into the toddler room at daycare. We hope he enjoys hanging out with the bigger kids.

First Birthday!

Last weekend we celebrated Walter's first birthday!

He meticulously avoided cake (or threw it on the ground) and devoured the berries.

Earlier in the day we took a hike up Mt. Nittany.

The view back towards town/campus (towards the left). Walter slept while we were moving and was not so happy to be awake when we stopped for views.

Back home trying on Dad's hat.

Dan 30

Back on the 4th was Dan's 30'th birthday. Pasta dinner to celebrate.

Anna made a blueberry galette.

Walter enjoyed the pasta.
