We finally found some sand in Portland!!!

After a few weeks of living here in Portland Wesley asked if we could go to a park that had sand. He loved playing hours ( and I mean hours) in Grandma and Grandpa's sand box. The five different parks that we had been too around our home didn't have any sand. Which didn't bother me much because I am not the biggest fan of sand. But since then I have been looking for a place besides the beach for Wes to play in the sand. We finally found it!! It is called the Piarte Ship Park and is one of the coolest parks I have seen . The play equiment is in the shape of piarte ships and they have a little play area of sand. They also had this little river system that you could turn on to make a river in the sand. Wesley loved it!!! I think I am going to add that to my dream house list for a back yard sand box.

Wesley's First Day of Preschool!!

This was not just Wesley's first day of Preschool but his first day of any type of school. He was so excited he was big enough to go to school! We had visited Valley Christian Preschool back in January to take a tour and Wesley didn't want to leave ( I literally had to pick him up and carry him out). He started at the beginning of September. He loves it. He gets up everyday and asks if it is a preschool day. His teacher is Mrs. Broome and we absolutely love her. She is so good with the kids and so sweet. The classroom looks like so much fun I even want to stay and play. I love everything about this preschool. (thanks tasha for the suggestion)

P.S- I also love that I have a little time to get some things done while he is at preschool too.
