a letter in track

 He hates having his picture taken. This was him going, "Hey, no!" and jumping up to leave.

She cooperated, kind of.  She received a participation award as an eighth grader participating in high school sports.

 Yes, my babies, all grown up.

 And there's his fine track letter.

Yay, for you, Buddy.

So much love you two,  MOM and DAD

tim's piano recital

 He's been playing for years now, and he's good at it, played three pieces, one on the harpsichord, one on the organ, and one on the piano.

 The harpsichord made the music sound extra spooky, which was cool on this one, Toccata in D Minor.

And here are all the students with their sweet teacher.

Fantastic day.  So much love, Mom and Dad and Everybody

mini-golf

 We dragged a couple girls to the putt putt golf course.

We had a good time, and they were good sports.

So much love, MOM and DAD

squirrel city

 You know, if your little sister has been very sick all winter and has had a feeding tube, why not make the most of it and dance on the medical equipment, I mean, right?

Why the heck not?

 You girls are so entertaining to your baby.  She squiggles all around to make sure she can see what you're doing, even if it's mostly bad ideas, high jinks and shenanigans.

 Yes, indeed, she has her eye right on you.

 And this cracks me up.  It's so much make up for a Tuesday morning.

So much love, Grandma
