Birthday invites for Max went out this year by text. This was for his friend, Tyler. He didn’t have a cell number for him. We figured out after the party that Tyler is the son of Aaron’s classroom teacher. Small world!

Supplements. I’m attempting all natural treatment for my back. Why do all of these pills have to be so large? They are hard to swallow!

It was a busy day. Pablo has been on the “bird cam” this week so our friends could watch him. He spent the day relaxing with his Dad. Notice photo 5, (first one, 2nd row). What’s that saying? Poop happens? Those are my hands holding him in photo number 8. I hope to frame the series of all of our hands holding him.

He was so proud of himself. Up on the bottom perch and then to the top one. His legs and feet are now strong enough to hold him up. We found him balanced here one morning when we woke him up for breakfast.

They humored me for the photo, but are not excited about school! Aaron starts 5th grade and Max is headed for 8th. It’s hard to start a new school, hope they do all right.

OK, My Pampered Chef buddies……..are you in tears? I dropped 3 of them on a concrete counter top at 6:04 this morning. Sigh. It’s a good thing these are open stock and that I had extras!

This photo has been in the family as long as I can remember. The child in the white garment in the middle is my Grandpa, Max. My son is named for him. I flipped it over as I was getting ready to hang it. I’ve never seen the piece of paper fixed to the back of it. It’s a family tree in my mom’s handwriting. Huh. Go figure.
