a good time was had by all...

Celebrating lots of things including Canada day, including summer, including love

Mothers can have fun on Father's Day, too. Sons reserve their right to not smile for photos no matter how sweetly or enthusiastically entreated.

That FACE, too!

That FACE

Chillin' with the offspring on Father's Day

All daddy's presents were exquisitely wrapped with artisan created gift paper.

This is more of a close-up of the paint job.

This is REALLY close up... again, from even say 5 feet away - I'm sure, say across a parking lot, perhaps, say, across an OPB parking lot, you wouldn't notice a thing...

Check out the Father's Day paint job!

Mommy attempted to cover the black fender, and the results were... Less than stellar. Daddy sanded, primered and repainted. I think it looks fantastic. And on the upside, this all happened today. In one day. One single day.

Blaize has been swallowing cherry pits and Daddy is keeping his eyes on his son....

Daddy is having a Very Happy Father's Day!!

The Level 2 Girls Gymnastics Class!

Our Little Gymnast!

Proof you can't ALWAYS get Francesca to smile for a photo

She pretty serious for being so upside down

We found the missing Playmobil Astronaut outside Blaize's school!

Tons of fun

Too much fun at Suuny's Birthday party!!

New profesh photo

Apropos of nothing: Is this taking school spirit too far?

And related question: is this ridiculous or awesome? On the one hand it's a gigantic UO football helmet on a classic VW bug. On the other hand, it's a football helmet and surely that's not road legal, is it?

Decoding a yo-yo. Yo-yo? They still make yo-yos?!

Relaxing at swap and play playground...

Short clip of the awesome video finale- chorus means "move it, move it!"

The play was called Barbegazi...

adapted from a Swiss folk tale. This version took place
on Mt. Hood. It was in French and mostly told in song.
Thank goodness for the English synopsis in the
program!

The sun above, the lady big below... cosmic!

These gnomes sang divinely...

There she is!

We Await The Gnome Spectacle!

Francesca relaxes before her Spectacle performance!

Francesca wonders which flavor of skittles she likes best...

Chocolate she decides. Unclear if she means M&Ms ...

A self-satisfied sushi smile

Francesca captured in the wilds of the Grandma Ellen playroom, constructing!
