Art Fair

The Dalbey Trio went to the St. Louis Art Fair this past weekend. We walked around for about 2 hours and took in so much beautiful art and culture. Preston also had his chance at making art. They had a kid station where he could dip his finger in an ink pad and make finger drawings. I have proudly displayed his art on the fridge :) One more note, the picture of the landscape below is a pastel drawing from an artist that I particularly liked. Perhaps some day I can add one of her pieces to my collection.

Traveling with Preston

Many of our friends have been asking about how Preston did on the long drive out and back to Arizona. I tell them that Preston did very well and I could not have expected more from a 13 month old. Most of the time he would either be playing with his little trucks (thank you Uncle Dan & Aunt Ruthanne) or his super cool toy school bus or he would be listening to his Toddler Tunes CD (thank you Aunt Kristen). If this wasn't enough we would play a fun game of peek a boo or point out various items outside the window (cow's, trees, trucks, etc...) or feed him a few graham crackers. Sure, there were times when I imagine he was saying "Get me out of this car seat" but he is a trooper and we are so thankful that we made the drive. Here are a few pictures of Preston on our journey and a sweet video that Steven and I like to call "Preston dreams about eating graham crackers".

Reminders of Arizona

Here are a few photo's to remind me of our time in Arizona. We had a wonderful vacation.

Visiting Friends in Tucson

While we have been in Tucson, AZ we have been staying with our good friends Doug and Christi. They have been so kind to let us stay at their home and we have had a wonderful time together. Here are a few pictures from this evening as we went out for Mexican food and a nice walk to view the sunset.

DeGrazia & Desert Museum

While we are in Tucson, AZ we have visited a few fun places. We started with the DeGrazia museum. It is beautiful! If you get a change to check out the website linked on the left side of the blog I highly recommend the site.

We also visited the Desert Museum which is super cool and kid friendly. We had fun looking at all the desert animals and vegetation. Here are a few photos.
