Will endured Abby's swim team practices and meets by finding what we affectionately call a "swim team girlfriend." Her big sisters were on the team too, so she needed a playmate. Enter Will. Will and Lindsey ran all over the playground together almost daily, letting mommy tend to baby Ava while chatting with other moms. It was a sad, long week of practices when Lindsey's family went on vacation!

I have to distinguish her as his "swim team girlfriend" because he's got a "school girlfriend" (a different one every year), a "cul-de-sac girlfriend," and others just about everywhere he goes. And they are preschoolers and grown women alike. What can he say? He's a ladies' man. Guess that's what comes with having two sisters!

He has become a real Lego Maniac. His favorites? Star Wars. Hands down. We have minifigures and ultra-small pieces hiding in every nook and cranny in the house.
That is, of course, when they're not in Ava's mouth. Ahem.

Will's good friend Joshua is still a frequent companion. He is everything Will wishes for himself. He ranges in age from 5 to adult and has lived in Australia, Alaska, and Canada in the last 3 months. He has been a firefighter and he has served in the army. He sometimes has a little sister and other times has 25 brothers. He's even got a few kids of his own. Unfortunately, his mom is dead. I hope that's not a reflection on me! We love hearing about Will's adventures when he goes to Joshua's house!
In the fall, Will played on his first soccer team and he really loved it. He went after the ball and met some fun friends too! This spring, he is going to give T-ball a try. Look out!

He turned 4 in October. Of course, he received the requisite Star Wars legos and action figures as gifts, but he also got an ultra-cool bomber jacket from his retired Navy grandfather, Coach. He's been the talk of the town all winter long!
