Questions.....
Lately Clinton has been going through a huge question asking stage... at least hopefully it's a stage. Some days I feel like a question answering machine. From the moment he wakes up until I have to cut him off so he can go to bed. He hates it when I say that he has to choose, only one more question. Here is a sampling of some of my favorites:
- How do the bees get the pollen from the flowers to the bee hive?
- Are we inside of the world or outside of it?
- Where was God before He created everything and what was He doing?
- In the movie Chicken Run how did they know there was a world outside the fence?
- Why can't I take my fish outside of the tank to play with it?
- Where can I buy a jet pack?
- How do they know how big the universe is?
As you can see, they are not easy questions and often require us researching on the internet to find the answer. So, I'm learning a lot and for now am just getting use to being woken up in the morning with, "Mommy Lauri, I have a question...."

Ocean City Boardwalk
We had fun visiting Holly. Clinton learned to buggie board and loved his first trip to the Beach!

Jackfruit!
Clinton loved Jackfruit in Uganda and really was missing it. We found one at an International Market in Denver. It wasn't quite as good as the ones off the tree in Uganda, but he still loved it. It has a very strange- sticky, gummy texture, and tastes like banana laffy taffy.

Adoption Day
In April we finalized Clinton's adoption. It was a great relief to finally be done- after a year and a half of paperwork, and 3 months of living in Uganda last summer. He's now legally Clinton Bradt- and my son!

Growing Fast
Clinton is getting big- fast. He has gained 7 lb. and grown nearly 3 inches in the last 6 mo. He discovered that if it holds everything he can find in Grandma and Grandpa's bathroom, he weighs even more! Lifting all those heavy things also gives him big muscles.
Clinton is also getting creative with the English language- on the way to school he loves to say, laughing, "I hope we're not Tarter Sauce to school."

Christmas Day at the Cabin
We loved having everyone together for Christmas. We spent several days together at the cabin- with lots of movies, puzzles, and days in our PJs!

Sledding with Annika
Leah, Tim and Annika are here for Christmas. Clinton has been very excited to have his cousin visit- he seems to have a real sense that she is family. Yesterday they went sledding together at grandma and grandpa's cabin. The anticipation for Christmas is about killing him. This morning (Christmas Eve) he woke up and said, "Mommy Lauri, don't tell me what day it is. Let's pretend it's Sunday and not Monday, because I think I will just want to open my presents so badly."
Learning to Ski
Clinton learned how to ski in the driveway, and has now been to the mountain twice as well. He loves it and likes to ski really FAST! There is talk of him one day being on the Ugandan Ski Team- we think he is Olympic material.
