First Day of Second Grade

Our little boy started second grade this year.  We all went to drop him off for the first day of school.  He's so big now, I can hardly stand it.  Luckily for him I was able to control myself and only sung "Sunrise, Sunset" while we were in the car.

Fun in the Sun

This summer the kids and I went to visit my parents in California. Uncle Alex was there too, visiting all the way from Germany.

We had a great time, lots of swimming.

My dad built these steps in his yard.

He also built a retaining wall.  Pretty impressive.

But he also took some time out to have fun with Alice.
