Sullivan Skates on His Own!

It was a big deal!

Jimmy Howard

I found this going through old photos and videos...It's from not long after Sullivan's second birthday when we was obsessed with hockey AND his Jimmy Howard goalie figure. Apologies, though, Vimeo has some weird glitch that makes some videos shot on phones (this was) upload sideways, so sorry for making you have to turn you head. I tried just emailing it out, but it's too long...And I couldn't not share because it is making me very happy -or sad because he looks/sounds so little...I can't decide which. Both I guess! xo

Firsts

Belatedly, here are photos from Sullivan's first day of school a few weeks ago, as well as his first skating lesson (with his dad participating) about a week later. Maybe it's all of the firsts, but he seems more grown up all the time...which I guess is good because he recently started planning his sixth birthday party.

And a skeleton garland we made to celebrate the start of school...What? That's not traditional?

Wisconsin Adventures

Last week Sullivan and I were in Wisconsin, having adventures with Oma & Grampy while we journeyed to see "The Greats." A lot of miles logged...A lot of great memories too. Headed out on the red-eye in jammies:

With Mr. K-Man Kendric:

Calling Nana & Poppy (that's what he told us):

Frozen yogurt date with Finn before we flew back home...

Upon our return home, a pair of skeleton pj's were waiting for Sullivan from Nana and Poppy. He's worn them pretty much ever since:
