graduation

I found another shot of Isaiah at his graduation ... I continue to be very proud of that boy.

firework preview

As usual, Isaiah cannot wait until the 4th ... in fact he cannot even wait until dark. Here he is with Morgan getting an early start.



Note that he has learned to hold his tongue just right to improve his focus.

Barb and I went to the Panegyri Greek Festival at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. Good eats! And one really good lookin' woman!

Christina and Chad's wedding this past Saturday was nice. Here are a couple of early snaps from the big event.

Isaiah and I spent time hanging out at Panera's in St. Cloud. It has WiFi and good sandwiches. Barb and Angela are getting their "hair-did" for Chad and Christina's wedding tonight.

barb and wimber

Barb really loves Wimber. He loves chasing water. Today she took advantage of the sunshine to get outside to play with Wimber in the water a little.

After a fantastic Father's day meal prepared by my wonderful wife, we played Clue. My wonderful wife won! She's great at everything.

happy father's day

I have a wonderful family! Today they surprised me with a brand new, first class, special edition Clue game. I'm ready to play.

While in France I saw the remains of the Mulberry harbors at Arromanches used as part of the D-day invasion.

Today my mom and dad had to put Sugar Bear down (she had cancer). They are very sad. I love them and I am sad because of their pain.

angela's friends

Angela really enjoys the other kids on the rowing team. At the awards "ceremony" the other day they had a picnic barbeque. Last night they went roller skating/blading, out to eat, and then hung-out at our place. We love to see her having fun like that.

more awards for angela

Angela received another varsity letter (in addition to her academic letter) tonight. This time for rowing.

Isaiah 1991

In recognition of his High School graduation, Barb had me drag out this picture of Isaiah from 1991 enjoying some cake ... which he opted to sample by picking off the Oreo cookies before the cake was even cut.

she's into it

Here's another shot of Angela rowing. It's from a distance so it's a bit grainy but you can see that she is really into it.

more graduation

Here's a photo one of our neighbors took during Isaiah's graduation. I have to say, we are very, very proud of that boy.

honfleur

While in France a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to take lunch at this beautiful port town, Honfleur.
