ChrisFieldsend.blogspot.com turns 500!!!!!

This entry marks the 500th post on our blog! Yup...crazy huh? It's hard to believe, I know. Thanks to everybody for visiting and leaving such nice comments over the past few years. We don't see all of our friends and family nearly as much as we'd like, but with this website we aim to keep you all close and up to date.

Take a few minutes and look back in the "archives"... I have to say, it's amazing how much Tyler has done in just 2.5 years!

Here are a bunch of pictures from the past few weeks

I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July. We sure did.. we walked up the street and watched the Hinesburg parade with a bunch of friends, and had a cookout in the evening...which was really fun except when I sliced my finger open trying to open a package of hot dogs... but other than that, the day was a success. We watched the fireworks from our backyard. Katie really out-did herself, and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. We have a lot of food left over, including beer, so if anyone is interested in having another cookout, let me know. I've got enough stuff.

On Saturday we went for a little hike in the woods in Williston and then headed to Gail and Paul's for the night so we could take the kids to Clark's Trading Post the next day (they live in Peacham, VT, about 45 minutes from Lincoln). Tyler loved the train ride, and the ice-cream... I'm not sure he was too impressed with the bear show but come to think of it, how is he supposed to know that it's not normal for a bear to ride a Segway?! I mean, he's never seen a bear before, so for all he knows they are supposed to play basketball and ride bikes. But I was impressed. His attention span was short, but he was having fun none-the-less. Sunday night I took him to the Vermont Lakemonsters (single A affiliate of the Wash. Natl's)... again, not too interested in the game for long, but loved to watch "Champ" the mascot doing flips and driving around on an ATV in between innings. We left after about an hour, but it was neat to take him to his first ballgame.

Well it's been a long time since I uploaded any pictures. We've been staying pretty busy, but mostly I just don't sit down at the computer as much anymore. Anna hasn't exactly been going to bed easy... she still wakes up 3-5 times a night, and takes about an hour to get to sleep at night. She's getting there though. She sucks her thumb sometimes, and can grab and hold things, and puts everything she gets in her mouth). Some people think she's starting to look more like me. I think she's getting brown hair under the baby fuzz... you'll have to judge for yourself :-) Tyler is having fun in the yard (as you can see from the pictures), and besides me backing over his tricycle (while he watched from the window...and screamed in horror (seriously)) he seems to be enjoying every minute of the day(s). Always wanting to go outside, swing, slide, play in the sandbox, or splash in the pool (his or Brady's), he's very active. He is talking so much as well, it's really a riot to listen to him and have a conversation... he reminds us every morning to feed his fish (Sick...that's it's name...don't ask...only he could tell you why). Anyhow, I hope you're all enjoying the summer (or is it still spring?).

Well spring is finally here...at least up here it is. This weekend we put up a swing-set and set up the sandbox. Tyler loves them both! Anna probably does too, but she can't say so yet...
