Hoosiers 2

I tried to post this last week before going on vacation, but I had trouble.  Dallas has really been enjoying his basketball hoop lately.  He's really getting the form and making quite a few goals.  Watch out world...he's the Larry Bird of his generation!
Until next time...

Monday Memories

It's time for the Iowa State Fair

And this year is the 100th anniversary of the Butter Cow!
The kiddos and I are heading to Ma-maw and Pa-paw's house today, and then leaving on Tuesday morning for Iowa.  I am not taking the computer, so you will have to wait for the updates when I return. 

Until then...enjoy looking back at our previous trips to the Iowa State Fair!

Quick Blurp

Well, day 2 of pre-school didn't start so well.  Dallas started crying as soon as I turned into the parking lot this morning.  He was in full sobs by the time I walked out of the room.  Reba started crying as soon as I walked out the door, and I was crying by the time I reached the car.  Let's hope that he calmed down quickly and had a good day.  I'm off to go pick him up.

Until next time...

Update: as I was leaving the house to go pick up Dallas, guess what song was playing? 
Darius Rucker's It Won't be Like This for Long.

And will you believe that it was at this part of the song?
Four years later ‘bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now don't you worry
This’ll only last a week or two
When I picked Dallas up, he was all smiles.  His teacher said that he did great after a few minutes, and she said that he is "really starting to open up."  Let's hope this gets easier with each day.

Until next time...
