The Growing Gant Family...

I know it's not the best picture, but William LOVES balloons. I ordered him a Curious George mylar balloon that we got blown up with helium on our way to the coast for his birthday. He'll tell you that he can "fly" as he trails them around running and jumping off things with the balloons close behind him. When we left the coast to head home, he had the mylar balloon tied around his wrist.

William's birthday landed during this week, so we planned to head to the coast to celebrate! Uncle Cory, Aunt Lori and the cousins were there as well, which made for an extra special stay. Per William's request, here's his super-duper Curious George birthday.
