Only Took 5 Years

  We’ve talked about a savings account for Ryan since he was born and continued the conversation since Erik.  We finally got to it.  Another check off ‘the list’.  (This one is in my head!)

Yep!  He got a lollipop!  Do you see him actually sitting in a stroller?!!  Some friends gave us their old one and turns out he is pretty good in it (especially with candy in hand) for a period of time.  He just didn’t go for the bucket seat in the umbrella stroller.  The zoo is back on!

The Last of the Fresh Air

Much to his delight, Ryan found a little huge bug by the duck pond:

 Grandma was so gracious to let us bring him home!  She even found a jar for him.

Christmas in July!

It’s a good time to think about your Operation Christmas Child boxes!  School supplies are on sale.  I think Target’s is mostly over but they have a few sale items left.  WalMart still has good sales.  Crayola 24 pack crayons are 25c instead of $1.74…  If you don’t want to do a whole box you can help by just donating items to supplement boxes!

A Little Fresh Air

As we headed up to Grandma and Grandpa’s Harv had a store he wanted to stop at so we hit the little donut shop next to it first.  Of course I had to get a picture of Erik with his first donut so I went out to get my camera.  I opened the passenger side of our car and panicked.  My backpack and camera were gone!  My mind raced with what else was probably taken.  A few seconds went by and I scanned the car.  “Why was there a coffee cup in my cupholder?”  My heart was racing….and then I noticed the unfamiliar jacket, the things hanging from the rear view mirror…  I don’t know how many seconds went by but I finally figured out I was looking in someone else’s car.  Then I realized they might be looking at me!  I closed the door and looked around:

2010-07-23_001 Whoops!

 Erik is CRAZY for juice.  He wasn’t at all interested in the donut.

 Ryan on the other hand is CRAZY for donuts!
