Calleigh's first day of "school"

Calleigh's MDO began two weeks after Dax started school. She picked out what she would wear the week before. She was super excited and claims it was a great day. While Dax would barely stand for a first school day picture, Calleigh couldn't get enough. There is about an hour between drop off for Dax and Calleigh so we played on the school playground while waiting. Calleigh kept coming up and asking if her teacher was there yet. She was beaming when we finally walked to the classroom.

Dax - Kindergarten Day 1

Dax wasn't thrilled about starting back school. We had to talk it up quite a bit and he was only a little excited about friends there. He tells us its really fun and he likes his teacher and his friends. That's about all the information we've gotten from him.

Creating Stuff

The last 3 picture are of Dax and Calleigh's imaginary world where she is playing Mommy which apparently calls for lots of books and babies while Dax playing Daddy goes to the office and types randomly at the computer keys before coming home to play with the babies.

July 4th Parade

I explained that waving would get people to throw more candy. You can see Dax's fake smile/wave. The following picture shows when he quickly gave up on that tactic and is ready to race for anything on his side of the street.

Summer So Far

Dax has become an excellent swimmer this Summer and Calleigh has progressed tremendously as well. These kids are UNO sharks and are working on Skipbo and checkers. We've completed 2 reading lists and are working on our third as we have lots of time to read. Calleigh and Dax can often be caught feeding and tending the bobos of babydolls, building city of blocks and cars, or creating their latest art project idea together at the kitchen table.

No matter how much we brush before bed...

She wakes up like this!!

Calleigh's First Fish

Calleigh has wanted to tag along on Grandpa and Dax's last few fishing outings. This visit Grandpa gave Calleigh her own pole and a special pink bobber for her line. She is very good at picking the worms out of the dirt and seemed most excited about that part. Here is a picture of her first fish!
