carter waves! he started yesterday. it is that curled fingers wave that they do. and everytime he does it, he stops and looks at his hand in amazement.

we all hiked up panther mountain yesterday--it is amazing how much easier it is when there is another adult in attendance.

the airport is gearing up for the summer season, thus there is a lot of air traffic in and out, and we have been able to see quite a few take-offs and landings, very exciting for ava. we visit the airport nearly every day, as it is on the way to town, and look for planes. if there are planes on the ground the visit is a success, but if they are in the air it is exemplary.
