Hand Holding in the NICU

One of our boys NICU nurses just sent me this picture she found! Makes my heart melt. She is pretty sure it's Jonathan's hand holding her finger when he was still in his isolate! I have so much love for all our nurses that loved our boys soooooooooooo much! Tracy

August 5, 2014 - a few shots during a tech-week rehearsal:

She took a moment during a break to
sing her audition song at the little chair
in the little corner.

Footman

Hrrrmph.

Hrrrmph again.

The prince is having a ball.

Time to dress Cinderella for the ball.

It doesn't fit!

At the Drive-In

It was the first Drive-In experience for AJ, David, and Jonathan! Gotta love those popcorn bowls. Oh, and in case you were wondering why you buy the biggest pickup truck you can. This. Imagine if the whole family would have been there!...

The Art of Teaching

Today was the last day of school at Alvin. THE last day of school at Alvin for Lynn. For ever. Tomorrow her "endless summer" begins (i.e. retirement!). Well, sort of. She'll continue practicing teaching at home as she helps Tracy with the homeschooling part of SLO Classical Academy next year for the four Bigs.

To celebrate, Lynn joined a group of teachers and friends at Wine and Design in Orcutt. And guess what they painted? Alvin Tigers! Lynn painted the tiger at left.

Alvin also presented Lynn with another piece of art... Two hearts, the left filled with fingerprints of all her students, and the right filled with fingerprints of all the teachers. How cool.

Box Houses

I need say no more...

U-Pick Blueberries

The blueberry plants were the perfect size for AJ and Matteo! And no thorns. $15/quart. The pales you see are a quart. The big decision while we picked was what to make with them. The winner was blueberry milkshakes! All the photos are here: http://JF2.com/140607/

The School Nook

Tracy: "I love finds like this. When we took down the wall we found this awesome area under a set of stairs! Now the school room will have a hideout/reading nook! Awesomeness!"
