WSU Reunion Party

Joe and I hosted our annual college reunion party for all of our friends last weekend. This time was quite a bit different from previous years' parties, because everyone has kids now! I think we were actually almost outnumbered! We had a really nice time seeing and visiting with everyone, and can't wait to do it again! This first picture is Henry Schumm, Grant Dine, Owen, and Kate Poeppleman - check out our fat kid...


This picture is cute because all the daddies were in the family room feeding their babies at the same time -
The only picture I managed to capture on my camera was Nikki and her son, Cameron - then the camera decided to quit working, so if anyone else has pics, please send them to me!!!

Latest Happenings...

Wow, has it really been over two weeks since my last post??? Sorry about that...

New happenings - Marysville had a "festival" downtown a couple weekends ago that also had an open house at the fire station. Seeing as how Dillon loves his trucks, including firetrucks, we thought he would enjoy it. Wrong! He was scared to death of them when he realized how big they are in real life! He eventually calmed down and I think had a good time.Owen has his third tooth now - the upper right central one - and is a real bear for about 3 days before they break through. The fourth one isn't far behind, so I'm bracing myself...
Dillon ate his entire plate of dinner one day last week - that was quite an accomplishment! I was so proud, I had to take a picture to document the occasion...

And of course, Owen wanted me to snap his picture, too - he ate all of his dinner, too (shocker!)...

Last bit of an update - apparently sickness is going around kids and dogs lately, because I've heard of so many kids being sick this past week. Dillon was sick for the first time ever yesterday evening - he was completely fine the whole day, we went on a bike ride after dinner (of which he didn't eat a thing), and when we were getting ready for a bath, he barfed all over the stairs. Luckily, Joe is well aware of my throw-up aversion and graciously cleaned up the mess while I cleaned up Dillon. It happened again at 1AM, but other than that, he has been okay. I have to give Joe credit, he really helps out in situations like that. He even slept in Dillon's room on the floor last night, so D didn't have to be alone in the bedroom - what a Dad!!!
