First Day of Preschool

Cornelius started his first day of “big kid preschool”. He was so excited to make new friends. On his way to school I asked him if he was nervous and he looked and me and scoffed “no”. I guess it was a silly question! As soon as he got there he went right in and made himself at home. I think it will be a great year!

Summer Fun

I’m not sure where the rest of summer went, but here is an update of some of the fun things we did this summer!

Cornelius and his friend Morgan with Clifford at the Omaha Children’s Museum

The air balloon at the museum – always a favorite!

The beginning or our day at Adventureland!

Pilot Cornelius

Some rides never get old – Here’s the Froggy Hopper!!!

Sometimes the best times are just staying at home playing with your own toys!

Cornelius can hardly wait until he is just like his Daddy! It will be awhile before he can fill those shoes! But Cornelius does his best to try!

Great Grandma turned 95! We went out to help her celebrate!

Aunt Jenny & Madison

Casa Bonita

We also made it to Casa Bonita. Cornelius is still talking about the robber who fell in the water, the gorilla, and the pirates . . . We had a blast!

The Ring Bearer

Cornelius was the ring bearer in Michael & Gwen’s wedding this weekend. He did a GREAT job! He loved hanging out with the big boys and was content to do whatever the groomsmen did.

The Big Blue Bear

Our first day in Denver and Aunt Sonia said that we needed to see the big blue bear. Well, once Cornelius hears something that catches his ear he won’t let you forget it! So finally today we got to see the BIG BLUE BEAR!

Happy Father’s Day Daddy!

That is one BIG BLUE BEAR!

4 going on 5

Well our big boy is now four years old. He had a wonderful SPIDEY birthday!

Now that he has turned 4, he is getting excited to turn 5, because when he turns 5 he can take a lunchbox to school . . . I just want time to slow down and enjoy 4 as long as I can!
