Happy Father's Day!

To celebrate Father's Day, we drove up to Jack's house in Newcastle and BBQed.

We managed to get several photos of the six kids and Dad...

...but none of Seth and Ezra... So to compensate, I'm posting a few of my favorite photos of the two of them from this last year.

A Park Date with Allison and Sarah

We met up with Allison and Sarah to see their new home and had a picnic and then played in the park and went on a walk through downtown Sumner. Ezra adores Allison and Sarah and misses them deeply when he doesn't see them.

David Graduated!

My little brother graduated yesterday, from Mount Rainier High School.

The week was full of all kinds of activities, like Junior Classical League (JCL) night (Monday), Costa Rica Field Trip night (Tuesday), Honor Society Induction for Emily (Thursday), Senior Awards night (Friday) and then of course, graduation (Saturday).

David plans on attending University of Washington Tacoma this fall, and I'm so glad that he's staying close to home.

Emily's Induction into Honor Society

Emily had the great honor of being inducted into the National Honor Society yesterday.

YAY!

Proud parents.

Ezra and the Pink Panther

Uncle David (or Dav, as he wants Ezra to call him) surprised us all by showing up as the Pink Panther during his high school band's concert rendition of "The Pink Panther," and then after the concert played around with Ezra in the choir room.

There's even video!


I love my brother so much and I'm so proud that he is diligently finishing up his last week of high school. I'm also, of course, shocked and even saddened that he's grown up so quickly! I remember when he used to look like Ezra: a blonde, blue eyed little munchkin.


Now he's as handsome as he is wise and mature.
