Short and sweet highlights
of our summer so far!
Felix turned 7 and had his
first sleepover! He invited a few friends over. They had a silly string fight,
had pizza, watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Half of the party fell asleep
around 10. The other half had to be told GO TO SLEEP around 11:30. Naturally,
they were all up and raring to go around 6:30...
We were invited over for an
afternoon get-together with one of Nick's coworkers. The boys went fishing on
the river, and caught a couple catfish and carp. Iris ran shrieking from the
flopping fish a couple of times. But now they have new friends with whom they
played in the kiddie pool.
We went to a family cookout
on my side, and introduced the kids to the joys and pains of tubing down the
river. A few beers had to be rescued while one or two were sacrificed to the
river gods. We took our inflatable kayaks, while the rest of my folks did the
traditional tubing. Complete with traditional slowly-deflating tube.
Iris got a black eye! From
the slides at daycare! Again! Quite the shiner this time, all from "being
silly on the slide". As it heals, it's turned many glorious colors, making
half her face look like she's had gaudy makeup applied.
We got to be super social
with friends at the end of July, with two nights of babysitters in a row! We
had classy cocktails, fondue and dominoes one night, and 1 1/2 innings of a
Rafters game in between thunderstorms. Yeah, not wise to be on a big metal
structure with cloud-to-ground lightning.
Stay tuned for next time... More fun with extended families! A trip to DC! Iris's birthday! Hooray!
Felix: 7 yrs & Iris: 3.5 yrs
