What we've Been up to This Week...


German's first day of preschool. I think he was a little nervous because he refused to pose for the traditional first day of school photo and insisted that Eli be in the photo with him. Eli was strong and didn't cry that first day that German parted from us, but he did ask me about 10 times when German would be home!


Our New Patio Furniture and it's box. We scored a great deal at Target a while back on patio furniture. It's been way too hot to actually enjoy the set, although we have eaten dinner outside once. We have great dreams of meals together outside in a couple of months. The box that the chairs were in has proved to have been a great investment. If I can't find Scot and the bathroom doors are closed, I know he's in the 'dog house'. Our friend Madison made us a window on the front door, so now I can look over and see this beautiful face smiling back at me. (Too bad he moved just as I shot the photo and then wouldn't pose again!)


Mickey Mouse Pancakes. We took the boys to breakfast on Saturday and as all normal children do, both older boys ordered the Mickey Mouse pancake. Of course it was huge and so they wanted to box it up and take it home for later. As we were doing so Joshua noticed that neither boy had eaten the blueberry eyes. When Joshua inquired as to why, German responded with, "I didn't eat the blueberries because I want my pancake to see where I'm putting it." What an imagination!

Navajo Lake 2010, part 1

We just returned from a fun-filled three day camping trip with the Clark family. We almost enjoyed being cold, but we definately enjoyed the good company, good food, and good scenery. We were able to meet the newest addition to the family, Amanda's fiance Will. We're excited for their wedding in September. We're also glad that Melissa was able to take some time off and fly out for the trip. Thanks everyone for good times.
