Weekly Pics

The Bibs rocking the pink caddy, on loan from Morgan.

Hollan is getting so close to walking. Sitting is no longer much of an option for her and she will now cruise from one piece of furniture to the next.
She stands on her own for a couple seconds and can take a step or maybe two unaided. Toward food, of course. (I am LOVING her leopard shoes from Sue & Jill!!)
My new trick for getting Evan to sit for pictures...show him Sesame Street videos.
This is a new fav: http://youtu.be/Z7pU-ygiFPk

Aha!

Everyone is familiar with Hollan's scrunchy nose face which is, let's just say it, flipping adorable.

We happened upon this picture of my dad and me when I was around H's age.

Aha!

We Have a Climber

A Sesame Street lunch box can be a powerful motivator.

First Day of "School": Preschool Camp

Big, BIG day around here! Evan started his four day camp at his preschool.

Posing with his new lunch box.

Brian got saddled with taking Evan to school.
I got to stay home and cry in peace ;)
Buckled into his new car seat, special for Dad's car.
And they're off!
Here he goes...
"Yep, that's me...room 2!"
Big guy and his cubby.
Evan and Ms. Juliet. I think this is about when Brian started getting choked up.
The daily review when I picked him up was good. He did shed a few tears after the day was under way and he realized that Brian had left. He told the teacher he wanted to go home but it only lasted about 5 minutes.

I arrived at the end of lunch and he was excited to see me and he looked crazy tired. But that didn't last. At post time, he has been in his bed cutting flips for an hour and a half. I thought school was supposed to make kids tired?!?

Father's Day 2011

To celebrate Father's Day, we stayed at the Four Seasons near our house. They have a great kiddie pool. And mini loungers...I mean, how adorable?

The Man of Honor and his sweet girl.

The Bibs enjoying a strawberry lemonade popsicle.
The Bergmanns came up for a bit.
Joseph stayed the night, too. He was the creepy guy at the kiddie pool with no kids. Just kidding. "Jofiss" puts in some major uncle time with our kids and we love him for it!
Sacked in the cabana.
The girls.
Buds. And noodles.
Evan lounging in Jofiss's room this morning.
Relaxing kiddie poolside after breakfast.
Snacking in her fancy new bib.
More snacking.
Chunk in her Minnesota moose hoodie/onesie.
Tickle time with Daddy.
He's the best.
Happy Father's Day!
