Emily rejoined her Big Fish Little Fish class for late spring tidepooling adventures at the Seacoast Science Center. She is an expert crab catcher!
Timmy turned eleven...I don't even want to talk about how big that is!
For Emily, there's nothing more exciting than a birthday!
Jennifer was reunitied with her best friend Analea and it was as if they were never apart. John gets to resume his favorite exercise-weight lifting little girls!
Emily missed her dress up clothes terribly on the trip and now rarely takes them off...we are forever spotting fairies and mermaids and princesses dripping with jewels.
Our dear friend Marian turned fifty years young and we celebrated with a show and a Sai Sen ceremony of our own. Here Jennifer ties the string on Marian's wrist and tells her how much she cares about her.
The cast of "This is your life" at Marian's party: John, the M.C.; Donna, as herself; Susan and Emily, as Marian's Mexican exchange family; Timmy, her first boyfriend, Jennifer, as the doctor who delivered her; and Chris, as her creepy Biology teacher.
Another birthday?! Chris turns fourteen!!
The kids' acting mentor, Alexis, and her fantastic husband Steven come to dinner before their move to Hawaii!
At Eighth grade graduation, Chris poses with his favorite teacher, Mr. Connell. The Larry, Mo, and Curly tie is a particularly dashing touch.
For the fifth year in a row, we hosted Camp Jennalea at our house!
We traveled to Alexandria to house hunt and so John could attend an educational conference. On his lunch break walks, John became fast friends with this lovely man, William Wheatley, age 94.
