School's out

School is finally out here in New England. Benjamin's last day was Thursday, a week ago. He started out his summer vacation with a sore throat/high fever virus that Paul had passed on to him. Paul had it the middle of the week, and Benjamin came down with it on Friday. Benjamin slept for 17 hours in a 24-hour period! Paul, however, decided to continue his routine of getting up at 5:30, and also thought one 45-minute nap would suffice. Consequently, Benjamin got better much faster than Paul!

Thankfully, both boys are better this week. We've enjoyed a trip to the beach, the park, and the bike trail, between the rainy weather. We also made the decision to finally re-do the kitchen. I say finally, because we've been talking about it since we moved in five years ago. So, we've made the first of many trips (I'm sure) to Home Depot. We got a great deal on kitchen cabinets and a new fridge. There are several people from church who are going to help us out with the project. Thank goodness for their generosity!

Benjamin with his preschool teachers on graduation day. He's not going to kindergarten next year, (I am so not ready! I'm glad he's only four!) but his class sang at graduation.



Father's Day gift to Dad and Grandpas. Paul colored the paper that went around the pencil holder. Benjamin put the letters on--they spell out "Pencils." And I put together a notepad with different pictures for each Dad.
