Enjoying the surprisingly mild mid-80s afternoon weather at the splash pad

Des’ first official play date, with Audrey who recently moved to a different classroom at daycare
On any given day, in-between all the various activities, there’s just a blur of motion-
As Nora is fond of saying, “My future is so bright, I have to wear sunglasses”
At the Waiting Room Lounge for the Omaha Girls Rock showcase. A music venue mom and dad have seen countless shows at and dad has even played at, a bit surreal for a family outing. As soon as the first band went on, Des was wearing his ear muffs without complaint or fuss.
Peppers?

Visiting the slides before mom’s birthday dinner
Des’ gift to mom was the first season of Fraggle Rock to watch together. He was mesmerized by just the few first minutes and danced to the theme song!

Goofing at breakfast before walking over to the farmers market
Heavy napper
Saying “hello” to ma and pa’s chickens
First corn on the cob
The beginning of a long Player 2 relationship with cousin Liam
At mom’s suprise eCreamery birthday gathering, Des modeled Phyllis’ moped gear
Railroad Days
Visited Lauritzen Gardens Saturday for part of the annual trains celebration throughout the city. If Des wasn’t already saying “Choo choo!” enough lately, this certainly amped that up.
Checking out the O scale display
Hiked further in to the year-round Model Railroad Garden
He was so in awe, he barely noticed the admission bracelet on his wrist- which presence may typically instigate a meltdown
Hiking back, shortly before surrendering to dad’s shoulders

Dixie Quicks (and dinosaurs) for dinner to kick off mom’s birthday weekend
With a little extra energy to burn before bedtime, it’s time for a quick visit to Bayliss Park
Giant squirrels!
