July!

In July my friends from back home came out to Iowa to visit family. While they were here we were able to meet up at the zoo. It's so weird getting together with people you went to school with but now you're all adults and have kids! It was a fun time.


One day Dan discovered a nest of baby bunnies under Tyler's picnic table. We had a fun time watching them. Every time we went outside after that, Tyler always had to run over and see if he could see them.

Tyler go to experience his first fireworks in July. I think he liked them but I also think he thought they were too loud.

This is Tyler being "normal" at the 4th of July party.

Some friendly competition between brothers.

June!

I haven't forgotten about updating the blog month by month. We had a slight setback when our old computer got fried by lightning and we've been slightly busy with selling our house, buying a new house, and starting preschool. I'm ready for things to calm down!

Looking through the June pictures it seems like it was a slow month. The first three pictures are from the Better Homes and Gardens test garden that is in downtown Des Moines. Sometimes it is open to the public so Tyler and I went down there and had some lunch with some friends.

The next pictures are from a race (the Indy Corn 250) that Dan won some tickets to from work. He went with his co-worker (I declined to go with him) and it worked out well for me because it was on Father's Day so it was a great present for him that required no money and no shopping for me! Aren't I thoughtful?

First day of preschool

Tyler did great with me dropping him off today. He didn't seem overwhelmed or sad at all. Made it easier for me! I am looking forward to picking him up later and seeing what he thought of the whole thing. I'm not sure if he realizes he'll be doing this for many more Tuesdays and Thursdays. =)
