Words

Quite a few people have asked lately if Ewan is talking much.
As the family's designated Stunt Man and Sound Effects Specialist, he has little need for actual words.
Here they are:
Boing
ChooChoo
Arf
Meow
Chirp
No
Hi
Owie
Daddy
D!
(the last one is, obviously, the most important)

The Gym

Today was Super Hero Day at Crossfit Kids Class.
Super Drake was moving so fast, he was almost invisible!

More San Diego Adventure

San Diego

D is off on his Big Adventure to San Diego.
Ewan and Tess both tried hard to come along, but Drake (and Mima) managed to escape to the airport without any stowaways, stayed happy on the late night flight, snuggled into a comfy "nest" at Aunt Emily's place, had a BIG day in the sun today, and then happily Skyped "Goodnight". What an incredibly grown up boy!!

Monster Spray

Last night was the trial run of our new "Monster Repellent".

(monsters HATE the smell of lavender, you know.)

According to Drake, it totally works!

Crush

A day with Sweet Sundis:

Workers

Grandpa came over today to help fix the big hole in our kitchen ceiling.

Big Adventures

Drake is gearing up for an exciting new adventure; his first whole weekend away from Mommy, Dad'n and Baby! He is flying to San Diego to visit Aunt Emily (with Mima, of course). He's SO excited, that it's hard to count the days, so the Chalkboard Countdown is in service again:

 

Friday: thunder storms; a good movie day.

Saturday: house inspection on our possible future Basecamp.

(more on this exciting development soon...)

Sunday: Grandpa visits to fix the kitchen ceiling (YAY).

Monday: we hope for sun, and find something fun to do.

Tuesday: go to the gym for Crossfit Kids class.

Wednesday: pack the backpack for the BIG trip!!

Thursday: Farm Day - go with John to pick up the week's veggies.

Friday: GO!!

Good Ones

More great summertime photos...by Roger, of course.

Al Fresco

Nothing like a little naked painting on a sunny day!

Spraygrounds and Popsicles

Yay summer!
