Summer Fun!

We're having a great time this summer. Plenty of relaxing going on here. Nigel got a new Adam's Trail-a-Bike, which he thinks is too cool. Isaac took him for a long ride yesterday (about 3 hours by my watch,) and they mysteriously came back with doughnuts for all! I got a new bike too (see photo.) It's a Townie, very comfy. All the charm of a beach cruiser, but you can make it back up the steep hills home again. The NW is the land of physically fit people, and you don't want to get caught having to walk your bike up a hill!

The other photo is of Isaac hard at work in his "office." Working from home ain't so bad.

Lily's Last Day of School

This is Lily, Telicia and Reede celebrating their last day of 2nd grade at Baker Charter School. This was her first year at this new international school in Salem, and it was quite a success! She is eager to return in September with little brother in tow. He'll be starting kindergarten there. I'm still trying to convince him this is a good thing. The tears shed his first day will likely be mine though.
