Dylan's First Day of 1st Grade!!

Just a quick stop by from Dad to recognize a small but important milestone.

Today Dylan started First Grade at Oak Ridge Elementary School.

Oh...and we forgot to mention that he lost his TWO Front teeth!!

We had just returned from a wonderful vacation in Hawaii, and he was a little nervous.  He seemed very ready for this day.  (At least HE was - Mom & I are still trying to understand where the time went.

By all accounts, it was a good day.  He was genuinely excited to tell us about his new friends and that he had Gym class today, as well.  Kyle was a great influence and his brother's confidence starting 2nd grade seemed to have a very positive influence on Dylan.

We just wanted to pop in and post a few photos commemorating the occasion.

Congratulations Dylan.
We Love You.
Dad & Mom

4 Years Ago - Seems like yesterday. We Love You, D.

Hi all, Dad here.

Just a flyby to mark the Happiest of Anniversaries.

We can't believe that it's been FOUR years since Dylan joined our family.  He is growing into a wonderful young man - it's been magical to watch.

We're enjoying the start of a beautiful summer, and Dylan , Kyle & Ashley just got through week #1 of Summer Camp at UMLY.

Dylan recently graduated with his Kindergarten class from Goddard School.
He will join his big brother Kyle at Oak Ridge Elementary School in First Grade (Kyle will start 2nd Grade in the fall, too.

Here are some recent pictures...from the Tyler Arboretum and from D'd Graduation.

 

Thanks for dropping by...

Happy Birthday, Dylan!! 7 Years Old Today!!

Hi again, Dad here for a quick drive-by post to commemorate Dylan's 7th Birthday.

Happy Birthday, Dylan!!

Dylan had a great day - it was his birthday and he was very pleased to tell everyone who'd listen.  He had a great day in School and we enjoyed a family dinner at Applebee's.

Then we came home to open Dylan's birthday gifts.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughtful presents.

Here are some photos of this evening...

Thanks to Uncle Mark & Aunt Avery for the coooooool jacket...

By way of an update, Dylan is really enjoying his last year at Goddard School.  He'll be moving into 1st Grade right behind Kyle in the fall.  He enjoys playing a lot of different sports and also enjoys electronic games!  He and Kyle are taking a karate class at the Gym as well.

We're looking forward to late March when we're making another trip to Cancun, Mexico.  Last year's trip was so much fun and everyone enjoyed it so much that we've decided to return.  Dylan is especially looking forward to it since he had so much fun on the trapeze last year.  

Anyway, I just thought I'd swing by and post a few notes & pictures on Dylan's birthday.

He's doing great and quickly growing into a wonderful young man.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DYLAN...

from Mom, Dad, Kyle & Ashley (and Murphy, Mocha, Misty, Scooby and Shaggy).

We love you and hope you had a great birthday.
