6th grade Camp


Ready for Rain or Shine!


The 2010 Pinewood Derby Champion



2010 Champion
with his "Green Machine"....
sparkles and all!

The Track


The results are in.
Willy edges out Josh by 2 one-thousandths of a second.
Ouch!
(especially since the 5th grader was outdone by a measly 2nd grader)

Plum tuckered out.
Now the real person you have to check in with is the Dad.
We are all wondering how much the dads were tweaking and fine-tuning their "boy's" ride.
Hmmmmmmmm. That's all I have to say.
I'm getting interference over the shoulder that the chief mechanic said all was A-okay!
Whatever!
Trophy pics coming soon.... for the chief mechanic.
geez, if a medal ain't enough!

Happy Birthday Ezra!!!!
We realized that we had all of us together to sing to you, but our 7:30 is your 10:30.
Maybe you were still awake, but we thought it too late to call....
so this is for YOU!!!!!!!
We love you big boy!
9 years old .... whew!

Boys

Boys.

I choose joy in their creativity in their "set-ups".
I choose to cock my head and smile.
I choose to continue to smile as I find them EVERYWHERE.




Even those bleepity bleeppin' bullets.
It makes it all worth it when they see me smile
and request that they leave certain "set-ups" for me to enjoy for a little bit longer....
but CLEAN UP THE REST!
"YEAH!!!!!!" they scream....
and actually clean up after the first request.
Hmmmmmmm.
Gotta love 'em.

Monastary life


Our Monastic Moments:
A bit out of order, but you get the idea.
We were not really encouraged to take pics of the chapel or where the nuns live.















Jimmy's b-day


Party Favors!


The electronic propeller hat that Papa and Theo made.......
so loud Jim can't hear with it on

Jim's nephew Ben (left) turned 21 that night!
We were impressed he wanted to hang with us.....
but we took care of him!

Jim receiving his benediction from Papa.


Brian's masterpiece cake.......
it was a black & tan under the frosting









Good ol' Papa grilling in the pooring rain


Warren putting his feak on.
... and Peter in his dress again.
