Growing Up

Poor Thomas the Tank Engine and all of his other Sodor friends have been packed up and put in the basement to make way for other toys......Lego's, Turtles, Star Wars, and musical instruments.  Perhaps Roland will someday bring Thomas out and play with his own boys.  

Roland's Lego Land

Today is My Birthday. I am 5 Now!

The day started with Roland wearing his new jacket that LaLa gave him.  It was a school day so we had a party at school.  Roland decorated the gift bags and chose the Star Wars Cars for each of his friends.  His friends had a great time playing with their cars and eating chocolate chip cookies that Roland chose for the day.   The party will continue on Thanksgiving when  Dada, Uncle Roman and Aunt Terri arrive to help celebrate his birthday.

Flower Drum School

 

Yea! Uncle Roman is Here!

Uncle Roman came into town for a visit on a blustery autumn morning.    If Roland has a reason to be happy  about something he will gladly smile for the camera, otherwise, catch me if you can!

Hard decision: Knight of the Round Table or Star Wars?

Roland is very excited about Halloween this year.   It was all the kids could talk about at school for the past 2 weeks.  Kasey and Roland decided on the Knight costume.   I got the Darth Star Wars and he wore it for 2 days but wanted the other one for the big day.   All the kids at Flower Drum had a grand time.   With every knight, one needs a princess to save.     

Roland Town!

We found these great foam squares that fit together to create a small town.  Just add the cars and signs and its hours of fun!

A day with Papa and Grandma at the Pumpkin Patch!

Papa wants to spend Friday's going on adventures with Roland.  We all went to the Pumpkin Patch and explored the corm maze, picking out pumpkins, racing rubber ducks and eating caramel apples.

Last Days of Indian Summer!

It had been a very warm summer, and though Fall has been around for a couple of weeks, Roland found time to relax in the hammock before the rains come.
