Joe Camel

Nicole and Sam visited Lexi at her summer job at the Roer's Zoofari park in Vienna. Just like a little kid, Sam spent some quality time on a camel.

Late Spring Bloom

I believe this Is one of the plants we had added to the yard in October of 2020. We get a lot of different flowers popping up around the post lamp in the spring but these seem newish. Nicole's shoe is pretty too.

Bulldog

Rocky is wearing his Drake Bulldog scarf proudly. Sam gave him this little present last week when we were in Des Moines packing up his room and storing his stuff at Robbie's. It's nice to have a relative so close to Sam while we are so far away. Rocky likes the attention too.

Cake #2

Baby Bundt's tonight.

Birthday Chorus

Celebrating another 29th birthday.

Night Wing

Our flight from Des Moines to Chicago was an hour and twenty minutes late. Our connecting gate was nearly a mile away and we had twenty minutes to get there. Sam made it in 10 minutes, Nicole in about 12 and was there in about 15. I just walked briskly because I knew Sam would tell them I was on the way. Sam really wanted to make that flight to see Lexi. We all wanted to see Dylan as well of course. Chicago to DC was smooth, on time and pretty as you see.

Rocky

Sam was a little tired after finals and moving out of his dorm. Rocky wanted to spend a little time with Sammy before he left Iowa for 7 weeks. Hopefully the little guys paw will be all better so he can shed his cone of shame by then.

Cake #1

Robbie provided Nicole's first cake of the weekend on Thursday night as her birthday week progressed. I ove me some Bundt cake.

Happy Birthday

Nicole's running friend decorated our driveway on Wednesday because we left for Iowa at 4am on Thursday. Always fun to see our driveway transformed over night every year.

Last Fire

May 7th and it's 45 degrees. One more fire in until October. I like the feel.
