Long lost 4th of July photos

Ben just found some unfinished photos from July 4th!  Better late than never.  The smoke bombs were Dylan's favorite!

This weekend

It was so refreshing to have a relaxing family weekend!  Ben was at home for the first time in a while and we just relaxed!  We had Papa's birthday the weekend prior so there are a few shots from that event but otherwise just enjoyed the little things that make us so happy every day!

 Stinky smoke!

 Mr. Milo came to play

 Sweet Tucker ate some sticks, among other yard litter like acorns, bark, etc :)

Dylan and Papa.  He doesn't snuggle and play with anyone else like he does with Papa!  Happy Birthday Papa!

Miles 6 month pics

Here are Miles's official 6 month photo shoot from Ben's camera.  Sweet boy is sitting up (almost 100% by self), has two bottom teeth, drools all the time, started sleeping most nights all the way through until about 5:30-6am, is very vocal, and loves watching Dylan.  Love this baby boy!!

Little bit of life: Miles 6 mo, Papa's bday, few randoms

Here are just some random pics of our everday life around here.

Aunt Sandy's visit

Ben's Aunt Sandy came for a visit last week and Dylan just loved seeing her!  She is so much fun and full of energy and Dylan had a ball playing with her for a couple days.  Sandy brought Dylan and Miles so many wonderful toys, books, clothes and just spoiled them rotten!  She is a flight attendant for USAir so on Saturday when she had to leave she got us a guest pass to go see her off.  Dylan loved watching the planes and visiting the big airport.  What a fun time!

 Here we are getting our guest passes before security.  Mimi and Sandy flirted with the nice man who helped us sneak in!!

 Phew!  We made it through the security line!  Here is a picture of Dylan with his gate pass

 Riding the escallator was one of the highlights

 The moving sidewalk was also a hit.  Sandy got him a bag of candy popcorn from the first class cabin!

 I tried to get him to eat a cheeseburger on the way out but he was too interested in the airplanes and watching Sandy's plane take off.  Oh well, there goes my diet!

 There is Sandy's big plane!!!

 Thanks Aunt Sandy for a fun trip!!! We had a ball with you!

Dylan's first day of preschool!

Dylan had his first day of preschool on September 5th.  He was so excited on the first day of school and it was so cute to watch him get ready!  The first couple weeks have been pretty rough on all of us with plenty of tears and a bit of anxitey overall.  We are just taking it slow for now and I've been staying with him until they go outside for recess and then I leave.  There are still tears but I'm hoping that after another couple weeks he'll be excited to go see his new friends at school.

Here is a quick video of us heading out the door!
