Dale

This was my first attempt at animation.  I made it right after Dale was born. He loves to flap his arms up and down when he's happy.  Maybe he already wanted to fly?

12/02.  All Dale wants for Christmas is his two front teeth.

Dale loves his swing under the deck.  It's his favorite thing to do outside.

Watching a basketball game.

Dale's 6th Birthday

Halloween '01, with Sam's friend Renee.

9/27/01.  Dale hams it up at the football game.

Shot from the roof, while we were shingling the new house.

8/18/01.  Playing in dirt, as little boys will be prone to do, Dale discovers the bucket on the tractors.  He thought it was pretty neat.

6/01.
Very windy day at the acreage.

4/01 

Out at the acreage.  Dale loves it there and it's tough to get him to go home.  Soon it will be home, though.

3/16/01
Dale's 5th birthday.  See the movie HERE.  Dale now wants to be behind the camera instead of in front of it.  :>/

02/01
Dale is such a ham with a camera.

01/01
Dale gets caught trying to escape the high chair.

Dale gets stories read to him every night before bedtime.  We have a lot of fun with them.

Christmas, 2K

Camping trip at Ponca.  9/9/00

Dale at Vala's Pumpkin Patch 10/10/99  The goat didn't seem very interested in what Dale had to say, so he had to get his attention.  :>) Click on the thumbnails for some dialog.

Dale swinging with Debbie.  The 3rd picture won 2nd place in a photo contest.  9/26/99

What can I say?  He's ADORABLE!

Dale likes to help out around the house.  One of his favorite things to do is to push the laundry basket down the hall and throw the laundry in the washing machine.

Should I eat, or sleep?  Eat?  Sleep?  Eat?  Sleeeep?     I guess he decided to eat his lunch and take a quick nap.  :>)

This little guy has the greatest smile!
