Happy 3rd Birthday, Jack!!!

Today, Jack the Dog turns three years old! Of course, we had to have a little celebration, complete with one of Abby's specialty dog-food cakes!!! Jack loved it!! He got lots of yummy treats and some new toys for his birthday.

~~~

Here is Jack, showing that even though he is now 21 in "dog years", he can still have fun! ~~~

Meeting Baby "T"

The Klimek Family had a fun Memorial Weekend, as we made a trip to Fergus Falls, MN for cousin Tim's high school Graduation. We were in for a second treat, though, when Heather and Zac had their little Ty Cameron on the SAME DAY as Tim's graduation! Tim graduated on Sunday morning, and little "T" came into the world in on Sunday evening!

~~~

Before leaving town to head back to Wisconsin today, our family stopped to see little Ty. Jamie, Austin, and Andrew hadn't seen him yet, and Abby and I were just itching to get our hands on him again!

~~~

Ty was all dressed in a snuggly little fleece outfit. None of the premie clothes that Heather and Zac had packed fit this little "chunky monkey", so Grammie brought him some newborn sizes today.

~~~

Here he is all snuggled in--he had been sucking his "goodie" so hard, that he left marks around his mouth from the goodie!~~~
Perfect little hands and feet...

Sweet Dreams!

Snuggling with Abz...

Everyone got a chance to hold the little guy...

Timmy's Big Day

On Sunday, May 25th, Timmy and his 51 classmates graduated from

Hillcrest Lutheran Academy with the class of 2008.

~~~

Tim got many loud catcalls, whistles and shouts of encouragement from a very subdued audience when his name was called and he received his diploma--we, his family, are quite proud of our little Timmy!

~~~

Here is a picture of Wes, Tim, and Sheila, showing off the "fruit of Tim's labor"...~~~

"Wow! There really IS a signed diploma in this thing!"
~~~
ConGRADulations, Tim!!! Good luck as you begin your journey towards a career in Chiropractic!
love, the Klimies
