All I can remember from this time is that we thought Declan spoke so well,
and now he says things like: "Daddy, when you travel to Texas, why does the
airplane stop in LA?" Back then, we thought he was so big and grown-up.
Some amazing shots of him in the tree in grandma's backyard.
And of course, we have shots of the lawnmower. This had to be Declan's
first all-out LOVE it gift. Of course, the Thomas train set and table was
amazing. But that lawnmower. Watching him makes me almost enjoy
mowing the lawn again.
