My Little Pork Chop



EJ had his first pork chop tonight. I used to love them when I was a little girl and I have a picture just like this one as a little girl. Makes me smile.

Clifford

Clifford and his friends had a limited engagement at the Omaha Children's Museum. It was advertised incessantly on the PBS station so EJ kept telling me he wanted to see Clifford. We finally made our way there with Grandma Bobbie to see the larger than life pooch.

Here's Clifford, EJ, Grandma & Clifford's owner, Emily Elizabeth.



Climbing on Clifford was fun. EJ also liked taking Clifford's "bones" and putting them on the conveyer belt his dish along with all the other little boys in the exhibit!





Here's EJ kissing Cleo. Her job was to teach about friendship and sharing. EJ didn't mind sharing kisses, that's for sure!



We got to enjoy the rest of the museum too. Here's EJ & Grandma playing with the big Lite Brites.

Our Own Busy Bee

Today was EJ's first day of pre-school! He goes to Busy Bee Preschool and that name fits him perfectly.



This is his teacher, Miss Deb. She's everything you would want in a preschool teacher. She's sweet, patient and kind. A lovely person, indeed.



EJ's first piece of art. It's a poem about the first book they read called, The Kissing Hand. It's a precious story about Chester the Racoon who doesn't want to leave his mommy to go to school. So, she plants a kiss on his hand and he can touch his it anytime to feel close to his mom. The teacher had the kids make a hand print with a heart in it and then when they came out from school they all had heart stamps on their hands to give us love too. It was really sweet.



Miss Deb said EJ had a great first day and was a super friend and helper. Thank goodness for that news. We'll see what next week brings!

Labor Day Fun



My cousin and her family came for the long weekend. EJ & Ally are the same age and Katelynn is 1. We had a ton of fun visiting the zoo, children's museum, Sunken Gardens and the local playground.

The kids had a great time at the zoo! They rode horses, fed goats, and saw lots of animals. They loved riding the train around the museum and checking out the engine.







Kate was adorable with her corn! The bigger kids got to enjoy sprinkle doughnuts on outside one morning while sitting in the wagon.







My cousin, Chalayne & I at the Sunken Gardens. The flowers are in full bloom and are absolutely gorgeous.
