Dave's First Day of School and Other Happenings

I can't believe we are already at Dave's 3rd week of school!  He did super great the first day, then struggled with going for the first full week.  He told me, "school is fine, it's just a lot longer than I expected!".  Kind of what we figured would happen :)  He was also not fond of lunchtime so I am just now getting him to eat actual food for his lunch! (You know, besides just a granola bar and some slices of cheese!)  Anyway, he is loving it now and really likes his teacher and has even made some new friends, yay!







Ready for his first day.  We were running late (of course) so this picture was a tad crooked because I was rushing!

Hurry up mom!!


















Picture from school.  I have a friend on the inside :)















My mom came to visit for the weekend two weekends ago so we could go out and celebrate our anniversary (well really just so she could see the boys!).







One their date with Gamma.  They ate at Applebee's and saw Shaun the Sheep.












Ike enjoying some time to himself while Dave has been at school.









It has been really fun to hang out with Ike by himself these past few weeks.  We have been doing things that Dave isn't really into anymore, like playing toys and puzzles at the library and taking daily walks to chat with the maintenance and lawn crew guys on campus.  Ike is obsessed with those guys!

Dave earned a prize for having a good first week-a Labbit blind box.








A tree was cut down by our house and it has provided hours of entertainment for Ike and his buddy Bennett.  It was really cool to see them cutting it down!  Ike even got to help measure how tall it was after they cut it down-100 feet!

Notice he has his gloves and his play chainsaw-all set for work!

Bennett was working hard with the hatchet!













So that's what we've been up to the past few weeks.  Lots of changes for our household but I think we have all adjusted to Dave's new schedule now.  He is already looking forward to Labor Day and an extra day off  :)
