Old Man Dave

Another for the books, my friends.  Dave is even an older man now that he was in these pictures.  Here he is, turning 32 last year.  As one of his presents, I taught Miles how to catch with his hands (Miles' lack of athleticism is a bit painful for Dave).  We practiced and practiced so they could have a decent game of catch on his birthday.  So thoughtful, I know.

First Day- Second Grade

Oi, I can't believe I got so far behind on all this!  Indeed, this is Miles' first day of second grade, which was in August of 2015.  One for the books:

He kept on trying not to smile, so as to showcase his "true" feelings about starting another school year and ending another summer break.  Miles has always said he doesn't like school, but he never complains about it or fights going, which I'm grateful for!

Second grade ended up being his favorite so far!  He really loved his teachers and was just a great and happy kid all year long!  Horn is such a great school and I will never take for granted the enormous blessing it was for him to get into that school.

Yellowstone

More than a year old, but I'm getting back on this thing....

Yellowstone is cool.  We had a fun time.  Got super duper close to some bison (in our car), walked around thermal pools, watched Old Faithful do her thing, saw some waterfalls and totally got lost exiting the park.  That was an adventure.  We had no idea where we were (no cell phone reception) and no idea when Wyoming would finally provide a town with a reasonable lodging option.  We ended up in Cody!
