Kindergarden Graduation

Rachel graduated from kindergarden today. She was soooo proud. She decided that she wanted to wear Estelle's old dress from my wedding. Pretty surreal to see my little girl wearing a dress that my baby sister wore when I got married. The song they sang was very cute. I hope it's not too big to post. Enjoy the pictures and video. *the video was too large to load, bummer.

Recognize the dress?

Rosco

Rosco had the fun experience of being neutered a few weeks ago. He especially loved wearing his special doggie collar to keep him from biting/licking at his sutures. When we brought him home that afternoon he was pretty out of it -thanks to the pain meds he was given. He still was pretty tired the next morning, but by day three was running around just like nothing had happened. Funny since the post op instructions told us to not rough house play with him for at least seven days. We had to remind the kids to not play rough with him, but it was hard for them to understand because he was trying to play with them.

doesn't he look cute?


not feeling so good that first afternoon

A very excited & happy to see us Rosco after we had been gone at the zoo (see later post). The video stops abruptly when I realize how far under the gate he has got his body. Made me think, hmm, how do I get him to not dig a hole & crawl out?

Rollerskating!!

Last week the kids had a fundraising rollerskating party for their school. I was feeling nice, so we all went for a fun time. At first, I only rented skates for the kids, but after only being there for 5 minutes I decided that I'd get a pair for myself as well. It made it more fun for all of us. I hadn't been on skates for years, but luckily it's like riding a bicycle. Rachel enjoyed having Mom on skates the most since she needed the most help. By the end of the 2 hour session she was doing pretty good. Unfortunately I had to put the camera away so that I could skate, so I don't have any pictures from the end of the night.

Fun with Rachel & Andrew-"all fall down!"

Cory having fun.

Andrew showing his stuff - it didn't take him long to remember how to do it without falling down so much.

Zoo Field Trip

On Monday I was able to go with Andrew's class to the zoo.

We had a lot of fun. Enjoy these videos & pics.
