A Loving Family

Yes. I can truly say that we are a loving family that shares and shares alike.

Kiera gave her wonderful little stomach bug to Kevin, Jr.

Kevin, Jr. was not content to keep it to himself, he gave it to me (Daddy).

Wonder who in the world will get it next?

That's one of those drawbacks to starting school. For four years, we've avoided those wonderful little bugs that get passed from student to student. While they are great for building one's immune system, they sure wreck havoc on the health and well being of everyone in the household.

Sure hope the church keeps my medical paid up.

First Day of School! and Early Dismissal?



Hard to believe that our eldest is now taking those first steps toward independence and learning. Seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital and were cradling her in our arms as the precious gift she is.




Seems like just yesterday, we were cheering her on as she started raising her head off the floor, working her arms and legs to crawl, and then taking those first steps.



And now she's heading out to begin pre-school. To begin her journey of learning that will hopefully lead to her deciding what she wants to do and be when she grows up. St. Mary's Dayschool in Bellville is where it will start, and we hope it will be a good ride.



Ah, but we did get a sharp reminder that we are still the parents and are caring for this little girl. Kiera got sick on her first day. Not sure if that's a good omen or not, but she threw up a couple of times, and Dawna had to go get her. Seemed like she was doing O.K. for most of the afternoon until she threw up again right before bed. Unfortunately, her second day of school will be postponed at least one day.
