August 2nd:

Dust storm coming in!

Time to go inside!

Too late, already crunching grit in my teeth. Eww.

August 6th:

Brendan has an Echo/EKG and visit to the cardiologist. He is being checked frequently for fluid buildup around his lungs and liver. He does such a good job getting through all of these tests.

Brendan was super excited that his favorite shirt was just like his doctors! (The checkers on B’s shirt are just super small)

Brendan loves playing with the heart models.

The boys love this bench at the hospital. They call it a spaceship!

August 8th

First day of first grade!

New backpacks!

The first day went well, the boys are excited to ride the bus home. Bill and I met them at the bus stop.

The 8th is also Happy Birthday to Bill day! Happy Birthday Bill! We made a belt of candles for rapid deployment.

It was harder than I thought to get them all to stand up

Sing fast! Trevor was worried about the wax dripping on the cake.

August 13th:

Another powerful monsoon season microburst hits the neighborhood.

Trees were down everywhere!

August 14th:

Brendan picks up his new glasses! He tried on all different styles and colors and these were his ultimate favorite.

wink wink

They definitely match with one of his favorite shirts!
