Around Our House

Rockwell has really been into dominoes lately.

One day he set up a train using every single domino. It took quite some time, but I was impressed that he stuck with it and with what he learned through the process. He left gaps, setting the dominoes to the side so that if some were knocked over it wouldn't knock down the entire train. Then he filled in the gaps at the end. It was fun to watch the whole train go down.

Jon and Buffie came over for a bbq. We went to the park for a while and then made street tacos and played at our house. The kids always have so much fun with Olivia.

Damon wore a tie to church and immediately looked about 4 years older.

We've had some really nice weather lately and the kids have loved playing outside.

Tessa had a field trip to the fire station. The fireman wasn't really a kid person, so it wasn't the best field trip ever, but the kids did like climbing through the fire truck at least. I loved watching Tess and Damon hold hands while they listened to the fireman.

  

I noticed that Rockwell measured his stuffed penguin, Pongo, on our height board. Funny kid!

We sure love Dad. It's always so exciting when he gets home from work. All the kids run to give him hugs, screaming "Daddy's home!!!" as loud as they can. 

Damon threw up all day on Saturday. Luckily he wasn't totally miserable, but the poor thing couldn't keep anything down. 

  

The family took good care of him though. It was sweet to see how concerned Rockwell and Tessa were.
