The End of Kindergarten

Look who graduated from kindergarten! 

Today is the last day of school.  Silas is really going to miss Ms. Paynter, as will we.

Squirt Guns and Bubbles

We broke out the summer toys recently in Isham Park. 

The other two kids in these photos are our good friends Ulysses and Miranda.

More pictures are here.

Father's Day

At Bruce's Garden, in Inwood.

Rosemary (look for yellow jacket, which she refuses to take off) chasing Silas.

Spring Pictures

Spring has been rainy and cool.

On the plus side, the kids love being outside with boots and umbrellas.  Last week a friend saw us walking to school in the rain and offered to drive.  Silas politely declined.

The leaves grow fast.  This is Broadway, April 20.

Two weeks later.

Hanging from a chain-link fence: is it sad or inspiring to see how Silas's school found a way to tend a garden?

Here's the garden starting out on May 3.

Two weeks later.

San Mateo

We spent five days in San Mateo and environs.

It was a beautiful week out there, the kind that makes you wonder why everyone doesn't move to California.

Dining al fresco.

Dr. Kelly goofing around with Dr. Kelly.

Cooper, Silas, Rosemary, and Harrison.  Not the Beatles quite yet.

Many more pictures from our trip are here.
