Uncle Traveling Matt Returns
We were so fortunate to have Marshall's brother here for a few days before he headed up to Laramie. The boys love having guests and are always especially pleased when Uncle Matt visits.
With our crazy summer schedule, Matthew was a great help transporting the boys to and fro. Marshall was able to work from home on Wednesday and enjoyed an afternoon off which kicked off with margs, tacos, and a patio for lunch. We all enjoyed hamburgers on the patio for dinner on Wednesday night. We all participated in cherries and pits. I just love that the boys actively participate in the conversation and enjoy dinner as a family.
On Thursday, T-man had a special day as snack leader to celebrate his last week at the Montessori and D-man saw a grand slam at the Rockies game that afternoon. Thursday night saw us attending 2 baseball games in the evening after much running around and heading to Whole Foods for dinner.
It was truly a treat to have Uncle Matt here to take part in our currently very crazy life. Not enough pictures, but here are a couple.

Mr. Bones
The boys have been enjoying the summer presentation series. After baseball practice, we head right to the library a few blocks away. Tonight, Mr. Bones and his homemade dinosaurs were the show and a big hit with the boys. So unique!

T-man Loves T-Ball
With a new uniform, glove, and his own bat, T-man was very excited about his first game. We won't be here for half the games, but I'm glad we have participated for a few weeks. Sure makes it feel like summer.

A Toast to Dad
An amazing day with an amazing Dad. Doughnuts. Hiking. Swimming. BBQ and patio dining. Creative cards and thoughtful giving by the boys. A nap by our youngest (busy day). Celebrating the wonderful man that makes our family complete. Love that D-man raised a toast to Marshall at dinner. Couldn't agree more.
After so much working on the house and patient boys over the last several weeks, it was great to focus on the boys and do lots of fun things together.

Breakfast Outings
With showings at 9:00 both mornings, we didn't have time to eat breakfast at home (and did not want to dirty the kitchen). I thought it was great that we went to two places close to our house that we have never been (but driven by numerous times).
On Saturday, we headed to "The Bagel Deli" which has been featured on Drive-ins, Diners, and Dives on the Food Network. I LOVED this place! It's a Jewish deli and restaurant and I enjoyed showing the boys the different foods. I'm just sad it has taken us this long to get here, but I now know where to get a good bagel to go for the next few weeks!
Sunday wasn't nearly as exciting, but we hit the Winchell Doughnut House before heading on our Father's Day hike. It's open 24 hours a day, in a Kmart parking lot, and the size of a postage stamp. But, it was fun to pick out doughnuts with the boys and hit another local spot before we move from south Denver.

Dad's Day Breakfast
Today will be a special day at school for T-man. He and Marshall started the day off with a Dad's day breakfast at school - it is always a special event and hard to believe it is our last one. Celebrating what a special Dad Marshall is - there is no Dad more deserving.
T-man has also been enjoying the summer programming at school (they are learning about Africa) and the swim lessons. Today is splash day and a great way to kick off the weekend! It is hard to believe out little guy turned 5 and a half this week. What a true joy he is in our lives.

School Carnival
Saturday morning saw us headed to the Highline Academy carnival. With an inflatable slide, a cake walk (where D-man won a cake), yard games, and a dunk tank, the boys had a great time. Marshall and I worked the limbo.
It was nice to see D-man having so much fun with his friends. There are certainly things we will miss about Highline - the diversity, the Spanish, ability grouping, the longer school days. However, we are hopeful that are new school will have many new friends and experiences for the boys. Last week, I toured one school in Boulder County Schools and am excited about the resources the schools have as well as the education available in the upper grades. In the long run (and hopefully the short run), this will be a great change for our entire family.

Bike to School
D-man and Marshall were able to bike to school today which D-man was very excited about. A practice run on Monday made all feel well prepared for the "real deal" today. I'll be riding my bike to pick him up his afternoon which will be a nice way to kick off the weekend.
