Holding the flush valve chain, Desmond genuinely helped dad fix the broken toilet lever

Holding the flush valve chain, Desmond genuinely helped dad fix the broken toilet lever

Everyone deserves a few pumpkins in their bedroom

“Helping” dad move the sprinkler head

Helping assemble the dresser. “Bang!”

Desmond’s last night in the nursery

Des “helping” dad by unboxing all the sanding discs

Resigning to the notion that chalk isn’t just a spectator’s sport (i.e. dad’s taking a break from drawing stars and hearts)



Des and mom ventured to Fontenelle Forest Saturday morning while dad continued work on the new room


Immediately texted to mom, of course

Hardware helper

He’s pretty stoked mom made apple sauce

Workin’ in the bedroom
new paint brush, brush

Des lends a hand with the bedroom restoration, by hiding the step stool and himself in the closet…

…repeatedly defying great heights…

..but eventually, fixing the mortise lock.

Up early on a Saturday with dad, so it was time for his first visit to Gerda’s for a doughnut. Yum! (overly friendly dining neighbor insisted on taking a photo)

Never mind the Bert & Ernie quarter rides, Des prefers leaving the hardware via browsing the “tractors” and power washers (?)

Des attentively listening and “watching” dad sand the walls in what will be his new room
