Getting to that age

 

Chris, coming back from the toy section at Target, having purchased more Tristen birthday presents than what I sent him for: "He's getting to the age where you're really going to have to watch me."

Soccer camp

This summer we have Tristen in several specialty camps and then at one of the community centers. First up: soccer camp -- with Nicole from across the street (pictured) and Aidan from Interlake.

First grade!

Phew, we made it. And to celebrate, ice cream with all the fixin's for the first graders, Tristen and Elana.

Mother's Day 2012: rockery!

At long last, we started on the rockery. My Mother's Day present from all of us. Got the rest of the garden in, too.

 

Three tons

And we thought Tille was heavy. We're working on a little rockery in the front yard. My Mother's Day present this year.
