Goalie?
Eleanor confidently climbing
August 20th, 2017
With fairly strong wind gusts, this was about the extent of Eleanor playing with the bubbles
Meanwhile Des is getting his hair cut with Aunt Megan, obviously
Listening very intently to the Star Wars storybook before bed. Without having seen the movies, his favorite character (and “super hero??”) is now Darth Vader. His little world view will be shattered shortly after his fourth birthday :/

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
Desmond practicing guitar strumming to Rudolph

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
August 13th, 2017
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)
