Happy 96th Virginia!

 Nice party at the farm just now! No tequila but there may have been a Tecate, and a horchata 
+ rum.

But I had nothing to do with either. Honest!

Last days of school

Evey only has one more day of 9th grade. Boyd only has two more days of 4th grade.

We'll have 10th and 5th graders soon! Has a nice ring to it.

I think both kids enjoyed this school year immensely. Evey was active in a bunch of different groups, and maintained a 4.0. Boyd enjoyed his teacher, most of his classmates and also... no homework!

Evey has big goals for the summer. Wants to ride her bike on trails, wants to watch movies on the projector and wants to hang out in the HOJ. Sounds like my kinda summer!

Evey wanted me to take her photo against a tree with white flowers... I told her, based on the sun and what she was wearing... we had to pick a different tree! I got these great shots of the kids a few weeks ago, on my 45th birthday.

 

Foosball fans

 

Thank goodness. Although I'll admit, I've been treating this entire week like it was a Friday night. 

Boyd is obsessed with playing foosball right now. And guess who else loves foos? I do! It's hard to say no when it's one of my favorite games. So we go to the HOJ, next thing I know I'm pouring a beer off the keg, next thing I know it's midnight!

Ha! Ride the wave. He'll move back to the XBox soon and I'll be sad.

We've also been playing a lot of washers and pop-a-shot. Adro threw three ringers in a row the other day!

These photos are random but they were on my desktop. The photo of them together is from the fall, when I was trying to take the annual "first day of school photo" a month late. The other photo is when Boyd discovered a raccoon skeleton and skull.

The weekend is here! Let's keep the party going!
