In the Meantime

In the meantime, Blair went to taxidermy school for 8 weeks in South Dakota.  It was super hard to be away from him for so long, but we made it and Blair proved how incredibly talented he is.

Deegan is in love with fishing ever since his daddy took him up in the hills to go fishing with Papa Dan and Uncle Jim.  He caught two fish.  One with help and one without any help.  He's saving up his money to buy his own fishing pole.  Right now he uses the top part of his daddy's old one and pretends to fish off of our balcony that looks out over the river.  I can only image how cute it looks to those who are driving by.

Also, it was the Fourth of July.  Blair spent a little bit of money on sparklers and other fireworks and Deegan had the time of his life.  He was a little bit scared to hold the sparklers at first though, and he hated it when the smoke blew in his face.

The week of the fourth, we took Deegan to the movie theatre to see How to Tame Your Dragon two times.  He was so excited! He kept saying, "Whoa" whenever the dragons would shoot fire and he'd jump and say, "Oh, that scared me!"  Towards the end when he was getting scared he was holding on tight to Blair's arm with big bug eyes.  I wish I could have taken pictures of it!
