More lilies, more Austin pics

I have much to do in the next few days, but I want to just post a few pics and let you know I'm alive!  First of all, the lilies are showing off profusely just now, and we're so delighted with them.

Dick had a couple of days off this week, which is always special for Austin.  Too bad he decided to look down just as I snapped the picture.

He loves going under our picnic table - he calls it his "tunnel bridge."  He is extremely fascinated with bridges.  Up here there are so many because of the highways that have been made through our mountainous terrain.  He just loves them, especially going under them.

Last evening I babysat while Anthony and Lori went out.  I gave him his bath.  Here's what he would look like if he had straight hair!  Still cute, of course.

And this is what one of our bathrooms looked like after he was here yesterday.  He sailed these lids like frisbees into the bathroom one at a time.  He just loved when they bounced off the shower curtain.  

He seriously looks at every round (sometimes other shapes too) light object as something to turn into a frisbee.  Which is okay most of the time, but not always.  When I picked him up from morning preschool the other day, I noticed all the children sitting in circle time were sitting on laminated hearts with their names on.  All the children but Austin, that is.  After they were dismissed I asked the teacher if he doesn't have a heart.  She said that yes, he does have one, but as soon as they give it to him he sails it into the air.  And then it becomes the teacher's.  I guess that could become quite a circus of a circle time if every child was following his lead.  Maybe I'll have to start making the lids an outside toy.  Then I'll never be able to find them when I need them!!
