Distinguished Honor Roll

Last Wednesday, the baby deer had moved to Jenn's house.

Amy's parents sent these pics from the shore.  

Ariel had slept at her friend's house.  The mom sent me this message.  Look at her smile going into Starbucks.  
She said Ariel was literally sunshine!  That was sweet.  
That day, Ariel and the 8th graders went to Dorney Park.
They had fun!

Aden cooked dinner.  
Playing violin.
Last Thursday, I took my first private golf lesson.  I think it went really well.  The pro teaches a bunch of people I work with.  I loved him.  He was great.  He asked if I really hadn't played before.  Maybe I have some natural skills.  I was always hoping I would have natural skills in something.

Distinguished Honor Roll!  We are so proud.
Still packing.
Trying on Aden's grad hat.  
Eli loves his water play.

Chorus Concert

Last Monday it was Noah versus the deer on the way to school.  
Have fun boys!
I often check the live feed from Taormina, Sicily.  We stayed just off the square.  I had no idea what was going on here so I searched it.  The Taormina Film Festival!  Aden wants to go back!
The gym after work.  
Alex climbed a rope.  
Aden playing guitar.
Ariel playing lacrosse with Taylor.  
Jordan posted this.  It was Aden's party!
Last Tuesday, Debbie the tutor came.  This might be it for her. I think she's retiring.  
What are Amy and Noah looking at?  
Baby dear!  So cute!
That night was Noah's chorus concert that was rescheduled after his teacher went into labor.  

I'm only going to post 1 song.  Noah likes to dance around.

Soccer Tournament

Last Sunday was Noah's end of the year soccer tournament.  They play 2 games and if they win them, they play a championship game.  
Here we go!
It was a hot nice day.  
The boys dominated the first game.
A well deserved rest.  Noah played most of the game at center forward.  
  
They had a pep talk.  
Let's go!  Second half!
Great win boys!
The team!
All the boys in their age group.  
There was some time before the second game.
Sadly, the second game did not go well and their season ended.  
Eli and I practiced putting.  
We went to Ali and Todd's to swim.  


We let the kids swim while we caught up.  
Eli would stay in there all day.  



Back to packing.  
We grilled that night.  

Bev and my dad came over.
