So, for those of our friends who are military families, have any of you ever been swimming in an outdoor pool on base when the play the National Anthem? How come on Army Wives they don't show everyone jump out of the pool and stand next to it dripping wet, facing the direction of the flag (even though you can't see it), with hand over heart? It certainly makes sense but it was a bit surreal the first time that it happened to us this week. However, I must say that Cameron looked cute standing there in his swimsuit trying to figure out which hand to put over his heart! And speaking of military life, when you play store with your kids, do you first have to pretend to drive past the guard and show your ID to get on base before you can go to the pretend commissary?
So, my brother is the king of cool birthday gifts for little boys. I think it's because he's still a kid at heart! He got Cameron this hovercraft/UFO thing that flies around the house for his birthday. It's entertaining even for adults and it's perfect for rainy days.
While we were in Fresno, my brother also got this short clip of Danny's first birthday . . .
And Danny and Vince both practiced their communication skills (those years of speech therapy really paid off Vince!). . .
