Possum Graduates!

Possum made it through his first round of classes graduating from Petsmarts' Puppy Class. The class was very fun for Possum who got a lot of off leash play time with Peanut and Oscar. It was informative for us humans too.

First Day of Preschool for Willa Bear!

Tuesday was Willa's first day of preschool!! Like Denver, she is going to Hope Christian Preschool at my family's church. She even has Denver's teacher from last year. She did fantastic with no tears and barely a backwards glance!

First Day of Kindergarten!

Here's the first day of Kindergarten and Denver handled it like a Pro! A big hug and kiss for Mom and Dad and she happily climbed onto the bus and waved goodbye. I managed to hold a few tears off until the bus pulled away.































Here she is getting off the bus after, what sounds like, a fantastic first day of school!!

Bicycle Fun

One of the things we enjoyed tons this summer was bike riding. After a lot of training, Possum can now go with us and I'm sure we look like the traveling circus as we all ride down the road. This year we got Denver a Bike Buddy. She was not old enough to ride her own bike for longer bike rides but this allowed her to still get the same feeling. This has been one of the best purchases we've made this summer!

Preschool Graduation

Well, since Denver is off to Kindergarten next week (YIKES), I thought it was about time to post her Preschool Graduation pics from the Spring.

Possum Photos

As promised here are some pics from Possum back from when we got him.

TWINS...kinda

It's not what you think! I'm not expecting twins, however, Wayne found out after one very painful morning that he had 2 kidney stones rumbling around his kidneys. He awoke in a lot of pain early on Tuesday and I took him to the emergency room at 5:30 after my parents came over in a sleepy haze to be here for the girls when they woke up. As it turns out, before dawn is the very best time to have an emergency. He was seen very quickly and had some nice drugs pumping through him before too long. A CT scan revealed two little stones in his kidney and he was released with orders to drink an obscene amount of liquids and some pills for the pain. Tuesday was not a good day for him but he slept well that night and seems to be perfectly fine now. No sign of the little troublemakers yet. They say this is as close as a man will get to childbirth. Well, I don't think he needed to do this to feel solidarity with me but he gets a gold star for effort.
