Busy Summer Days

On a day when the azaleas were in full bloom we took lots of pictures - but mostly silly faces.
George and his friend Paul right before graduation.
Tehree, George and Paul after graduation ceremonies (note George's punch moustache).
The "Grand Poohbah" golf cart getting ready for the King Wamba Parade at Festival. Our friend Zizzie is in the front with me, Muddonna in the middle with George, and Muddy in the back - Estelle rode her bike for the parade with J.T., Ben W. and Elias.

Since our last update, we've had Kindergarten graduation, school is out, Memorial Day came and went, we survived the Festival, enjoyed a 2 week visit with Grandma June and Allan, started t-ball and coach pitch, and began to settle down into our summer routine with Tre'sja.

Today Tre'sja took the kids to the zoo. They waited in line a long time for the baby polar bears and then only got to see the one boy - 170 lbs at 7 months. The twin girls were in a room somewhere with their mother. Sigh. They also went to the butterfly house where George saw at least 4 cocoons, one "hatching". Of course, with all this new routine, they completely forgot to go to yoga.

Estelle has decided that she is a trout because trouts are the fish that like swimming the most. She doesn't even let bug bites and sunburn put a stop to her. George is devoted to Pokemon this summer and knows all their powers and what they evolve into -- totally over my head but other kids seem to speak the same language. I don't know what happened to Xiaolin Showdown in his repetoire.

We're waiting to hear about our new cousin, who might be born right this very minute. As of the last report Aunt Meghan has the epidural in and is at 5+ cm.
