And now, five things that Cullen is
very excited about these days.
1) Strawberries. Cullen's always been a big fan of them, but the ones that are grown right here in Virginia Beach are the best! (Dad is pretty excited, too. Ditto Smarty.)
2) The great outdoors. It's great fun to walk on grass and dirt, not only hardwood and carpet! There is so much new to experience!
3) Getting bigger and faster. Soon he'll be outrunning mom and dad. Soon he'll be stronger than them, too - he has big plans for when that day comes!
4) Learning to swim. Cullen has had swim lessons for the past couple months, and he loves it! Okay, the truth is he usually isn't so thrilled. But we know he'll be glad when he jump off the diving board, go spearfishing, etc.
5) Bearing the ring. If you've read (or seen)
Lord of the Rings, you know that ring bearing is an honor only entrusted to little people. Since Kelly hasn't seen Cullen in a while, she thinks he's still small and harmless and hobbit-like. He's getting ready for the big day on June 14, when he gets to be part of the big shindig, with Madison at his side!
Stay tuned - next time it's Daddy's list.
Thought I'd post a few more strawberry photos from our outing with our friend Jeanne on Thursday. Virginia Beach is an interesting mix of rural and convenience...the strawberry fields are minutes away from nice neighborhoods with all the shopping and restaurants you could want. We came home with 8 pounds--most of them got used in a strawberry bbq sauce for pulled pork. I wasn't sure about that but the recipe looked interesting and it WAS tasty! Soon it will be time for blueberries...
