We bought the kids a car… The Beamer! Tori has been logging many hours behind the Beamer Wheel, including U turns and Market street. Here she is pumping gas for the first time. We were in our way to Figure Eight Island.

Here is a picture of Mason before his Eighth grade formal dance. Notice the duct tape flower. Notice that he is wearing pants (he seems to have come to the realization that you don’t have to be cold in cool weather to be a cool dude). And, notice that he is taller than his mother. When did that happen?

When we returned from taking Sissy-Bobo to summer camp, Caden and Mummy decided to do every single one of our puzzles. That’s 37 puzzles. Mummy does the sorting and Caden does (most of the) piecing together.
It only took two weeks!

3/5’s of the family is very fond of gummies. Interestingly, that fraction includes all the Y chromosomes.
When Sissy went on a trip to Raleigh, she came home with a nice new pair of shorts for herself, and a few dinosaur shaped gummies for her smallest brother. Caden could not have been happier!

Caden’s bear, which he has had ever since he was born finally got another bath. He is blue again! (Anne snuck Huggy away in the middle of the night)

Sissy did another play with the maestro. It is his own production, which will one day appear on Broadway! Tori was the big sister and the French ballet instructor… She did a great job, complete with the Frrrench acccent.

Mason Christopher did Science Olympiad once again this year. He got 3 medals at regionals and a first place at States! “Guess he might make it to that math and science boarding school after all,” laments the Mummy.

Tori said,” hmmm.. Think I’ll try out for the play at school… Snow White.” She told the Maestro at her audition that she was looking for a small role. After her try out he whispered to his assistant, “What am I going to do? She IS snow white, but she only wants a small part!”
Tori was a great Snow White!
