Shy

Last year Shy joined us for the summer. This week he is back visiting and we are so happy to see him.

Dor

This summer we have been hosting a 21 year old Israeli boy named Dor. We have been having a great time and it is hard to believe our time together is almost over. Last weekend we went to the Museum of Science and Industry together and had some fun.

Season's End

Last Sat. we had our last baseball game of the season. Steven hit a double and two singles and scored 3 points for the Tigers. What a season they had, UNDEFEATED! It was a product of hard work, good coaching and great team spirit. We can't wait to see how the playoffs go this weekend. I will keep you posted. I have also included a clip of Steven's double play and his slide into second base. At least 1/2 of the field comes home in his uniform every week.

Bunk Bed Blues

When we moved into our house, Steven wanted a bunk bed and he got one. Not long after it arrived, Steven and his friend were on top, jumping around and the slats broke. After leaving it that way for over a year, we got it fixed. The begging to sleep on top began. We made a deal that on Steven's 6th birthday if he didn't fall out of bed before, he could move on top. The first day he went up and was down within 5 minutes. The second day was the same. On day 3 he braved it and slept on top. He said he didn't really like it, but he did it for a few more nights. Guess who is back on the bottom?

Fun on the Forth

What a great day we had! First we drove up the Highland Park to join cousins and Aunt Barbara and Uncle Vic for HPs bicycle parade. Steven chose to scooter and we all had so much fun together. First we had breakfast. Next we lined up for the parade. Steven was at least 4 blocks ahead of me the whole time. Then we went to Briarwood to celebrate Nana's 92 birthday and have some lunch. Next Steven went swimming until it was time for the Briarwood picnic. There he met up with the morning crew. He rode a horse, climbed a mountain and caught a fish. What a day!
