Happy Father's Day by Ardey

Happy Father's day! Ardeley painted this picture for her Bapa, and now I use it to say: "Thanks Dad, for all you have done to make you such a special dad."

Hope you enjoyed your day and got some fishing in.

Dalton created a coat of arms that shows what describes his personality. You can see the Pokemon ball, because Dalton likes to play the Gameboy Pokemon games. In the upper right corner, you see a cat, Dalton's favorite animal. The lower left corner signifies Karate, and the lower right portion of his coat of arms represents a Yu-Gi-Oh card. The most important things in a 10-year-old boy's life!

Our computer and study area is the most popular place in the house these days. Notice that the TV is on, Ardeley has headphones on (her music), and Dalton's Nintendo DS is on the counter! Henry got me the TV for my Birthday so I can watch from the kitchen or while I do the treadmill. Karina loves to go to Disney Channel, Nick.com, PollyPocket, etc. on the computer; Dalton looks up lyrics to songs, and he also likes to look for clues for his Nintendo games; and, Ardeley is a frequent ITunes user, has been playing the latest Nancy Drew computer game, and looks for Kingdom Hearts 2 clues. Henry even uses the computer. He is taking a math class and a reading comprehension class this summer and all class assignments are on the computer.

Memorial Day Picnic

Karina, Dalton, and Henry enjoyed themselves at the annual Memorial Day barbeque at the subdivision pool. We have been swimming every day that the weather permits. It has been a very dry summer; however, as I type this, there is a tropical depression in the Gulf and we got poured on this afternoon. It's all good!
