Finally! Some real news here in Walt's World:
The picture pretty much says it all, huh? Mike? What's that you say? Why does this post have such a strange title?
Well, because we are always striving to entertain, we recorded the exact moment at which Walt found out the big news earlier this evening. Enjoy. We're due in September.
It's almost vacation time at the Spickler house and everyone is VERY excited. Josh is carefully inventorying his snowboarding equipment, I am researching restaurants in Vail and deciding which books will make the cut, and Walt is pestering us both on a near constant basis about when it's time to go visit his grandparents. After answering for the millionth time how much longer it would be until he went to see "GramandDeeDaddyandNanaandPutty" (yes, it's always one word like that), we decided (at Gram's suggestion) to make a countdown chart yesterday. The plan was to mark off each date right before bedtime, but yesterday, we only made it to about 6:00. Here's to the next two weeks going by fast, for everyone's sake!
Assessing the problem.
Getting down to business.
Making sure everything is up to codes.
Tidying up the workspace.
Walt . . .

At your service!
The scene: Walt and Mommy are playing "Old Maid" in Walt's room. Walt has already lost one round (what, I'm supposed to let him win?), Daddy has arrived on the scene, and Walt is clearly losing interest in the game.
Mommy: Walt, have you made your matches? We can't play until you make your matches.
Walt: (Bouncing around room) I did!
Mommy: (Patiently) No, you didn't, you don't have any matches there.
Walt: (Still bouncing) Yes, I did! Hi, Daddy! (Plus some additional 4-year old nonesense talk.)
Mommy: (Still patient) Walt, if you don't want to play anymore, we can just put the cards away.
Walt: (Growing more hyper and clearly not interested) No, I want to play! (Catapults self onto bed for some gymnastics)
Mommy: (No longer patient, voice somewhat raised) Then play!
Walt: (Stopping all activity and muttering under his breath) You're grumpy.
AAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
