The Growing Gant Family...

Every year we take a trip to WINEMA with a group from our church.  We help the camp out with jobs around the facilities and enjoy some time on the coast.  We look forward to it every May.

Here we are at the doctor's office: Calvin is such a fun loving little boy.  He's full of energy and will say hi (and bye!) to anyone that acknowledges him.  His vocabulary is fastly increasing as he's pairing the signs he knows with the actual words.  Just the other day William was running around with his cowboy hat and lasso saying "Yee-haw"...He soon realized that he had a little shadow behind him waving a bl...

It's a rare occasion when it's warm enough in MAY to pull out the kiddie pool, fill it up with hose water and actually enjoy an ice cold dip.  We were taking full advantage of our 80 degree weather!
