He's 10 Today!

Birthday boy Mason had bacon with every meal, and pie for tonight's dessert. What could be better than that? He's hoping the cast comes off at tomorrow's clinic appointment. THAT would be a terrific present!

Busy Weekend

Mason played in three soccer games yesterday (1 win, 2 tied games). The fields were sopping wet, muddy and very slippery, but for the first time all season, the spectators remained dry. We've had to hold umbrellas during every game but these!
Meanwhile, Calvin had his UMD band camp performance. He plays percussion in the band, and electric guitar in the jazz band (THAT performance was Friday night).

It's been a busy week, lots of running back and forth between the soccer fields and the performance hall. But it's also been great having the boys doing things they enjoy.

This coming week will be a test. No camps scheduled. Wish me luck!

Liftoff

Mason finished his science camp this week with a soda bottle rocket launch.

Hands

We were in Michigan this past weekend celebrating my Uncle's 80th birthday. This is Uncle Ben's hand holding the hand of the youngest family member, his great-grandson, 8-month old Hunter, as Hunter tries to walk.
