Preschool Bike Day

Ruby's class has been learning about transportation and vehicles in school this week. And so today was a special day. And she was really excited....some of the city's fleet of service vehicles visited preschool today. She got to sit in a dump truck and a bulldozer. Wow. I wasn't able to take any pics of those festivities because I had some errands to run with the little man.

But we came back for bike day. Ruby had a blast riding her bike with the rest of her class.

The New Office: Construction

We're getting down to the wire here, people! One week until opening day!

Plumbing fixtures are going in.


The break room is almost done.


The front desk is being built.


The "clouds" are getting installed.


And the sign is up!


Can you believe our next update will be a video of a (99%) finished office? We. Can't. Wait.

The New Office: Construction

A lot of fun stuff went on this week. Flooring has started going in, tile has been laid in the bathrooms and cabinetry has been installed. It's really starting to look like a dental office.












We can't wait to see what happens next week!

A little game of footsie...

These two are just so cute I could die. Or squeeze them till they pop.

The New Office: Construction and a trip to Ikea

There were a few hiccups this week, as there generally are when something is being built, but there's still some fun things to see. The painting is nearly done. Pardon the adorable photo-bomber.








The ceiling is going in (the ops area will have an exposed ceiling).


We took a trip to Ikea to shop for the office. Bobby was not looking forward to this trip at all. He HATES going to Ikea. With every fiber of his being. But he sucked it up and sacrificed and didn't complain one time. And we need to go back in the next couple weeks and he talks about it like it's no big deal. My jaw is still on the floor.

We had a big load to take home and Ruby had a great time shopping. And sitting in every.single.chair in the entire store. The girl loves Ikea. And she's in this picture. Can you find her?


We bought frames for the kids' art project. Cute, no? Ruby did the two paintings on the ends and Jack's is the one in the middle. We love them. The kids did a great job, Ruby created hers with very little coaching and I just handed the brush loaded with paint to Jack and let him do the rest.


But this may be the most exciting thing yet:

How do you get to church?

Bobby and Ruby have taken to walking recently. Until Bobby took out his bike and the trailer and they rode. You wouldn't have thought there could be anything finer than that.

Our Own Tomatoes

We've been enjoying our own home grown tomatoes for a few weeks now. We're approaching the onslaught of millions of ripe ones, not being able to eat them all, and then getting sick of them. But for right now we're still enjoying them.

Ruby, however, is not crazy about them. She's never been a huge fan, but I was hoping that delicious garden tomatoes that she helped grow would change her mind. We picked this delicious beauty and she told me she wanted to eat it....like an apple. Skeptically I gave it to her. And she took a bite.





Yup, one bite. And she was done.
