After finishing up an intense work project, dad joins mom on a walk to pick up the kids at daycare. Des, ever the helper, pushes the stroller.

These two!

Daredevil in the making.

“Whee!”

Brother playing peekaboo with sister

Not sure what to think of her first taste of peanut butter

Grandma and Eleanor have a tongue-sticking-out contest

Nothing wrong with grandma’s lips, just sputtering back to Ella

“Watch out for bridges and hop-ons. You’re going to get some hop-ons.”

Perfect weather for a back porch “picnic”

Des helping dad replace the lawn mower blade. Each turn of the socket driver was accompanied with a, “spin…”

Des is still trying to figure out how to play with baby sister.

The (recently planted) lawn growing so long, Eleanor nearly got lost in the front yard

Ella was a big fan of avocado and beans

Chewin and a splashin’, ya ya ya

After the bounce house excitement wore off at the site of the toddler-impossible ladder, an older boy helped Des to the top. To say he enjoyed sliding down is an understatement.

Omaha Gives 2017

A key event each year for the Omaha Community Foundation is “Omaha Gives!” This year, mom jailbroke Des from daycare early to join her on several non-profit stops.

Des gets an inside peak at the Benson Theatre restoration project.

Visiting eCreamery, cause why not?

Ironically following by a stop at the Omaha Healthy Kids Alliance event, with hopefully in 2018, Nebraska Representative Kara Eastman
