First Day of Pre-K!!


Today, was Dave's first day of Pre-K. He was so excited to go to school. And he did a great job, just a few tears in the morning, but thanks to Steph and Miss Alicia he did just great!

Dave at the teddy bear parade during school today. (Thanks Steph for getting a picture of him!)

Dave enjoying his first lunch at school. He ate the lunch that we had packed plus two big helpings of spaghetti. He even served himself out of the big serving bowl. (Thanks again Steph for getting another picture of Dave.)

And since Dave did such a great job at his first day of school, Nan and I took him to Maggie Moo's for lactose free ice cream! Above you can see Dave picking out he toppings that he wanted.

Enjoying his "I survived the first day of school" treat!



Steph, thank you for making Dave comfortable on his first day of school, you are so wonderful!!!

Photo Session Preview

Here is a small preview of our first session with Caitlin Domanico Photography. Unfortunately, we did run out of light, but Caitlin is kind enough to have a second session with us and I will also post the preview for you when it is posted, so stay tuned for some more in the next few weeks.

One last fishing trip of the summer


Dave wanted to go fishing for one last time before the fish start to make homes in the mud for the winter!

They were lucky enough to catch one fish!

Chris handing the fish to Dave for him to put the fish back into the water.

Safely Back into the water!

Preparing for fall and winter.


Today, it was time to get the pool closed for the fall and winter. So of course Dave was very interested in helping with the whole project. Above you can see that he is helping to spread out the cover.

Getting ready to lift the cover on the pool.

Going on!

Dave was a great helper with getting the cover on the pool!

One last dip of the summer.


Today, Dave wanted to take one last swim in the pool before it was closed for the season. So Pies was brave enough to get in the cold water with him.

I think they are little chilly, but they both said that it got warmer once you were in. Actually they stayed in the pool for over an hour playing together.

Dave was actually getting pretty brave and wanted to swim or float around all by himself.

Thanks Pies for getting in the pool with me one last time of the summer.

Can Pies come to the zoo with us?


Today, I thought it would be a good idea to go to the zoo. We haven't been there much this summer with the rain and all. So Dave asked, "Can we bring Pies with us?" So we gave Pies a call and he was happy to join us for the morning!

Checking out the fox.

And the big Elk was out today, showing off his antlers.

The Cougar was out and about today.

And of course Pies was introduced to Dave's favorite turtle at the zoo! Thanks Pies for going to the zoo with us this morning, we had a nice time together.
