Delaney's kindergarten open house!

This is Jon. The emotional roller coaster that is called parenting continued with tonight's open house at Kittitas Elementary. Delaney's first day of kindergarten is Thursday and Tuesday's open house was a good way for the kids to see their room, meet their teacher and get acquainted with future friends. It's also a good way for parents to ease into this, especially new ones like me who is...well...finding this...exhilarating and tough at the same time. I'm proud as can be though.

My little A+ student, who told me as we were walking hand in hand to the school (1/2 block away from home, by the way), "Dad, I'm a little nervous." My response? "So am I, D-Rae, I needed you to help me out."

A quick time out for me to cry...

...and we're back.

My beautiful trio.

Proud Daddy.

The classroom was well decorated, very colorful and very organized, but not so much that is wasn't inviting and normal. The room has a couple of computers, but at the end of the day, what worked for me in the 80s still works for my daughter and Mrs. O seems like she's going to be perfect for Delaney.

Delaney and her new teacher, Mrs. O. She has lived in the Kittitas Valley all her life. Her husband is a firefighter and he was there as well as Mrs. O's mom and dad. Her husband is very proud of the attention she gives the kids and the work she puts into the job. It was actually really good for me to talk with him. Thursday's the day, so we'll post pictures again soon!

Quarterly update from KTown

Spring sports with Delaney playing volleyball for the second straight year. This year was noticeably different as her league included fifth through eighth graders. Adelyn with her second year of softball. Again, a noticeably different level of competition. Delaney will eat anything, just like me. Food is fun, especially when you try new things. We're at the Crab Pot along the Seattle waterfront and we got a seafeast of salmon, crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, sausage and corn. It was deee-lish. Dee Dee and her shrimp...right before she ripped its head off to grub down. Kittitas day at the Mariners game. 80 of our closest friends from KTown in attendance. Took Adelyn and Brittany to Saltwater State Park. Adelyn loved the shells, crabs and the clams underneath the surface squirting water. On our way home, we got stopped on the pass for the roadwork blasting. Took the opportunity to snap a few pics of this beauty. Adelyn with my hat, a rain coat, pajamas, ten

When Mommy's sick and Daddy's in charge...

...this happens... Addy is potty training (quite successfully and very quickly I might add) so she's pretty much pantsless 24/7. She doesn't usually wear Brittany's boots, though. That's Addy again, wearing Delaney's wicked witch hat. Don't know where she got it. Delaney and her sunflower she's been growing since the last few days of school. It finally bloomed at the beginning of this week...and Delaney's wearing Mommy's boots now.

This is Jon. We celebrated Adelyn's 4th birthday party over the course of a few days. Parents party, grandparents party and kids party. She was very spoiled. Can't believe this girl is four!

My two girls lookin' cute. I think she looks adorable in these two pics!
