30 x 50

Who said this tarp was too big?!  Ok, maybe 1500 square feet was overboard, but it kept us dry.  The first night was a torrential downpour and it was all we could do to keep the initial design from collapsing.  George and Phil came up with this new design and it held up through 3 more days of rain.

Lyme's Disease

The bullseye developing.  The meds were horrible, but hopefully we caught it early enough and they do their job.

Pediasure

Thank goodness for this idea from Grammie Balas.  She hadn't eaten any real food in about 4 days and needed nutrition.  Downed it so fast!  Hit the spot!!

Chalk Art

A beautiful mess!

The long drive home

Wasn't sure I would survive this week of vacation with Meggie cutting her second molars.  Was horrible for about 4 days, then generally miserable for 2 more.  Then all done.  I think she cried for 4 out of the 6 hours we drove home.  :(

Last day of 1st Grade

Pip driving up to the last day of first grade.

Thank you Mrs. Duffy!

A flash thunderstorm gave Pip and Bridget the time required to write their thank you cards for their teachers!  Should have taken a pic of Pip's finished product.  Was a nice pop-up with a drawing of him and Mrs. Duffy.  "I love you Mrs. Duffy.  I learned a lot this year!"  

Getting ready for summer reads

Signed up for the summer reading program at the library.  

New molding!

It's coming together!

Worth it

The smashing fun exceeds the clean up pain.  Pip was happy overall with the choice.

Drumlin Farm

We went to pick strawberries.  Got there an hour after picking started and were too late!  Luckily there was fun to be had checking out the animals and exploring the property.  Feeding goats never seems to grow old.

Took three servings of ice cream to satisfy.

While Daddy was climbing, so were we!

Boy's Camping trip in the Catskills

All fun and games until someone gets lyme.

Vivie graduates preschool!

She's ready for Kindergarten! Thank you to all the teacher's at the Goddard who loved her and guided her over the last 2 years!
