Bob... the tortoise

For graduation, our friends Crissa and Jeremy gave Shawn a tortoise!! Definitely the most unusual gift... but they have 2 and Shawn had mentioned before that he has always be interested in tortoises! So here is our first family pet. He is named Bob because when Ory first say him he kept saying Bob and Bop (at least that's what it translated to for us!) At first Orin was cautious, but now we have to watch him closely because he loves to crawl after Bob and attack him!!! Luckily I was able to snap some picture of the two of them together... I was showing Bob off to the neighborhood kids and they were all getting Orin's attention... one thing Ory likes better than Bob is to show off!!! :)

catching up

Seriously, I feel like I just did a post but it's been a month!!! Time is just flying by!! One month ago, Ory started crawling... it's fun to see him "exploring" and he loves it. He discovered people food (especially during Jenna's b-day... he loved the b-day cake!!!) and he tends to scream for food whenever he sees someone eating! (Reminds me of his Uncle Matt who always claims, "I like food too much!") He's getting to have quite a personality, he loves me crawling after him, laughs when I tell him no!, is really ticklish, and is climbing and trying to get into everything... we're still working on baby proofing, good thing he's mostly at Melina's!!

Shawn graduated! I'm so proud of him. I wasn't expecting to get emotional, but when I first saw him walking out in his cap and gown I was fighting back tears. It's been a long three years, but looking back it's gone quick and I'm so proud of all Shawn has accomplished!! I just feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband!! :)

I'm counting down the days until school is out for summer... 14 days!! It couldn't come soon enough, these 4th graders are tough and so mean to each other! So between that and photography I'm keeping busy and so is Nia with all my housework I don't get to!! :) hehehe!! Here's some pictures from the past month!!!
