Preschool

Preschool started today and was a smashing success. Ben saw a school bus pass our house today as we were loading up for our trip to preschool. He got excited about the school bus and asked if he was going to go on it for school?! I told him not yet and he replied "aahhhhhh, why not momma?" Right now I want to drive him to school for the rest of his life, but we'll work through that later.

From what Ben has told us he got to play on the playground, play trains, sing school bus songs, eat a snack(apples, his "fravrit"), and play with Nick and Matts.

I did well, no tears shed, just happy he likes it and proud of my little guy.

Showing off his "packpack"--love this pic!

At school.

Ben found the Goodwill box...

Early morning fun

Spokane & Six Months

Ty is 6mos.! The stats: 16.3lbs and 26 3/4in

High-pitched babbling, lots of rolling and reaching, and an incredible amount of eating! I'm concerned about our future Costco bills. There isn't a lot of sleep happening at night, but I've given up figuring out what it is and just figure he will sleep through the night someday. I pray before he is two.

Maribou Park in Spokane

I like peas!

Uncle came to visit!

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

We made a serious trek to California this month and it was awesome! We spent three days at Lake Tahoe with the Bayers(Kelley, Eddy and Ryan) and then a few days at their house and visiting my Aunt Mary. It was such a treat to be able to spend time, actual time as in long conversations and lots of laughs, with Kel. I miss her dearly.

Kel, Ty/Ryan, Eddy (sorry about your heads!)

More pictures to come...

Uncle!

Uncle came to visit a few weeks ago--we went to a few playgrounds, Greenlake, Emerald Downs, and chowed on fresh crab Drew caught with Jake. We love having Uncle with us.
