First Day of School

Camille started Kindergarten a week ago, and Owen started preschool on Tuesday.

Camille was so excited that she forgot to be scared, which was good. She has been brave enough to walk into the school by herself when I drop her off.

 Owen was so excited to go to preschool, but he broke his toe (we think) the day before his first day, so that put a damper on it. I had to carry him in to school, but he managed to hobble around on the side of his foot.

I have loved having a few free hours to get stuff done with just Emily home. My kitchen hasn't been so clean since spring!

A trip in numbers and pictures

3 hours between stops on this trip, both for the nursing baby and the not-very-well-toilet-trained boy

13 throw-ups

4 hours the kids spent one afternoon in the pool at Brian's parents' house

89 motorcycles Owen counted on the road between Lusk, WY, and Edgemont, SD

4,500 tomato plants at Dad's house

4 side-of-the-road potty stops (3 times were #2)

2,640 miles driven

24 pound banana squash that Dad sent with us

A sweet sight

Dinosaur Park in Ogden

Not Dad's tractor; this was the Owyhee county fair

Owen is a wild boy

This is Dad's tractor

Barf boy. Holding the barf bowl like this helped a lot.

Craters of the Moon. Too bad we didn't have more time to explore it
