Going...going...gone!

Well, yesterday was a rough day. Paul caught a 7am flight to Philadelphia on the first leg of his journey. We were fortunate that my aunt works for US Airways, so he was able to fly standby, saving us over $1,000 and no fear of a fee when we try and figure out what date he'll be returning. Even more wonderful, he caught the first of both flights he needed right away...no hanging around the airport. Alec, the dogs and I are missing him loads already, but we're so proud that he has this opportunity to finish up!!

After months of 'cruising' around the furniture and taking several cautious steps, Alec started walking today!! During Kari's family bridal shower he was taking more than 9 steps (his current record), then by the evening he was up and walking everywhere and rising to stand from sitting in the middle of the room! He just kept walking back between mom, grandma, Kelsey & I!! I'm having trouble loading videos on the blog, so if you click on the link to the left for 'Alec's Photo Website', a video is near the end.



Then he spent the evening chasing Milo all over.
