Secret Agent Does Last Day of School

I'm not sure which detail I liked best: the Cal Young pencil in the pocket, the outfit underneath (underarmor, shorts, soccer shoes) so he's set for after-lunch soccer, or the role of Scotch tape in his pocket in case the rose or mustache needs another strip to keep it in place

Congraduationadulaudation to Frances Marie!

Gramma, Athena, Opa. . . and Mom and Dad all watching Frances say good bye to eighth grade and to her life as a middle school student.

Stopping by to say hello and get hugs and other items from family before rushing off with friends to catch a shuttle school bus to the late-night wild adventure party!

Here she is receiving her promotion certificate with miscellaneous awards. None of these awards were very surprising to her parents. We already knew she's spectacular and deserving of many awards.

Yesterday, middle school student. Next week, U of O math student. After that, she'll take over the world.

Maybe Frances will give her piano lessons one day. . .

Sorry the video is sideways. I always forget that we don't have software to rotate video.

Changes

(The thing got so hot that it almost caught fire)

Mom's been working to make the entry way have different flooring. it used to be some ugly old wood, but now it's a pretty stone floor.

Good job, Mom!!!:) Look at His feet and you'll see it...

Mom Makes Kids Giggle

I couldn't find any video with Frances giggling but here is a photo of her jack-o-lanterns giggling at their grumpy companion who was snacked on by a raccoon . Will keep looking. . .David was the one who always got her to giggle.

These are from last fall. Background music selection by Pascal Konyn.

I swear I'm not tickling Carsten. He's just that happy. (Lucky boy:)
