For the Love of Space

Thank God Daniel has Mike in his life or science would be really rough on him.  This was the other night as they were watching/looking for the Venus Transit.....

It's Official - D is a Pre-K Graduate!

Last Thursday was a big day in our house as D graduated from Pre-K so it is official - he is off to Kindergarten in September.  

I have to say the day was beautiful and we were so happy to celebrate his big milestone with family and friends.  As you can see, D was pretty excited for the big event.   The kids did not wear caps and gowns but the school provided t-shirts which featured each child's hand prints and the answer to "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up?"  Of course, D's shirt was huge on him but thankfully Mike worked his sewing magic and hemmed it so it did not look like a dress on him.  

Here he is hamming it up.....
 

The back of his shirt.  It says "Police Officer."


Daddy and his Pre-K Graduate......

Each parent had to create an outfit centered around what each child wanted to be.  These outfits served as decor for the church and lined the pews.  I created the "head" for each child's outfit as I had to get involved somehow.  It featured a picture, the school's logo and a diploma.   I have to say it looked super cute.


Making it official - getting his "diploma from his Pre-K teacher.  

And there you have it - It's official!!!!

Goodbye Sweet Friend!

KC, 
Though you drove use crazy with all your issues you were the best dog to have as a first pet.  And despite the fact you got us kicked out of "Dog School" you had a personality all your own.  How lucky were we that you choose us to be your family.  I will always remember you.... 

Keeping a close watch over Daniel from the moment we brought him home....
 

How you allowed us to do almost anything to you and you were always a good patient...... 

And you always allowed us to be silly with you.......

And you even allowed us to read to you....

 But you always found the best places to take a nap and sleep.....
  

Thank you for allowing us to love on you day in and day out! 


Goodbye Sweet KC. 
 May you now have all the chipmunks, squirrels and groundhogs one dog could ever need or want!  
We will love you always!!! 
Sweet Dreams Sweet Girl!

And now no one would never know as he talks and acts like this....


HAPPY VOICE DAY MY LITTLE MAN!! We could not be happier with you and keep being you!!!
