Dear William (52 months)

Dear William,

Today you are 52 months old!

What a month it has been.

We had Thanksgiving, and we kept with Ragfield Family Tradition by not having any tradition.  We got the heck out of town and went somewhere raw and desolate and beautiful.

Fort Collins

 

We found you a playground: 

Climbing

You loved it.

Rocks

 

You loved running in the mountains:

So did your dad:

You hiked with Mommy, but you weren't feeling very well.  Maybe it was the altitude.

You were very cross during the hike, and with only about a half mile left to go, you decided to lay down on the trail and take a nap.  It was rough, but I can only assume that brighter days are ahead.

After we made it back home, we got a Christmas tree:

It may just be our best tree yet.

You have your own little tree for your room.

You are very excited about the Christmas decorations.  You have been wearing a Santa hat for days.

We got some snow this month!  They were predicting the Storm of the Century, but it only amounted to about an inch and  a half.  You and I took out the brand new sled your daddy got you and made the best of it.  We had so much fun.  Even with just a little bit of snow, we could go flying down the hill in the park!

 When you are not sledding, you are still very interested in planes.

Wings around the globe

Donuts too:

Dozen

One day, you woke up wearing mis-matched pajamas and convinced your dad to make chocolate chip pancakes with you.

William, we have had quite a month.  Big changes are in store for us soon.  It's going to be great.

Love always,

Mama
