Desmond learns that pulling the cart is easier to steer

Riding the “tractors,” of course

Sometimes he seems like he’s growing up so quickly. Then he goes through the carwash with utter amazement and wonder 🙂

Baby’s first Maha festival

Now officially a family event

Just warm enough to enjoy a nice snow cone (very light on the syrup)

…she seriously couldn’t get enough

Eleanor reflecting on the bliss that is a snow cone

Finishing up while we duck into dad’s office before heading home

Like dad always says, “too much maha, soon ZZZ ZZZZZ”

He’s slowly coming to the realization that “playing” is now a team sport…

As fast as she is fierce

Ella rediscovering the walker for it’s intended use

Wishing Cal good luck on his first day of school, Des is showing his “thumbs” up

Waiting for sister’s nine-month checkup, this may be the first time Des has drawn on an actual chalk board

28.75″ (82 %), 22.2 lb (93 %), 17.52″ HC (64 %), happy as can be

Everyone engrossed in their pre-bedtime activity

Stumbled upon this dig scene at daycare like the sunset scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark

Happy reader (with dad is presently on a strict no-Christmas, no-Halloween book reading ban), independently perusing The Hallo-Weiner

Des tests his echo while parking at the farmers market (yes, this is 17 seconds of a toddler yelling–feel free to skip)

After several attempts in the crib, and even a lengthy spell in bed, Eleanor is finally napping. Some afternoons are harder than others.

A fierce recreational walker fan, it can’t be long before she’s running around

Front lawn pause

A boy and his dog

Playing at the park while dad’s wrestling the raspberry jungle in the garden

Desmond’s first smore, with mom (appropriately)

Eleanor representing the Omaha Jitterbugs

Cousins in middle of an intense lego build

Ok, a bit more classic mario as well

August 10th, 2017

Eleanor is super happy dad has a new lens perfect for low-light living room moments

DJ DinoFan spinning spinning classics like Camptown Races and Jack and Jill

The activity table definitely on the top-five baby favorites

Ever a fan of his periodicals, reading Highlights magazine before bed
