Chalk art

We had a chalk art contest. Here's Nora with her Blessed Virgin.

Sleeping friends

Chicken trick

Lucy can go biking with her friend Pineapple now. Briefly.

Butterfly

Piano

Our friends loaned us a piano and gave Lucy a first lesson. So far, she loves practicing her same song over and over. Fortunately, it has headphones.

driving

Charlie turned 15 last weekend and got his permit! He has driven Justin and I around several times and done a very nice job, though we are glad we bought a car since it drives so much more easily. He's checking his mirrors.

Isi injury

Isn't she pathetic? She's actually not feeling too bad and has played happily.

Grandpa and Bernadette

Bernadette is always skeptical of Grandpa, but today she allowed him to push her around in her car. She's growing up a lot lately.

Hike accident

Once we were on the M, Isi ran up it and back down, tripped, and needed a stitch.

Hike

James offered to carry Bernadette up the M when I was panting. He later said he had a newfound respect for me and made me carry her back down. 

Reunited

James is back from camp and glad to see his favorite family member. He also has so much laundry.

Reading

Also tearing, but let's leave that for now.

Driving

She loves to go!

Shoes

Bernadette loves her shoes very much. She wants to put them on first thing every morning. James was trying to convince her that her pants had to go on first but it was a hard thing.

Future dad

He covers her head when she needs a nap

Isi

Always cute

Kindergarten

Scary movie

We watched Beauty and the Beast and Isi was ready for scary parts

Book

Bernadette needed her daddy to read her the bunny book NOW

Best day ever

It is the best day of Charles' life. He has his own phone. It's a good day for James too, since they were sharing and now no one shares with him. Look, even though I'm taking his picture he can't help but smile with his eyes.

Court of honor

Lucy was the mc for her Scout Court of Honor. She also got her Scout rank.
