Photo
This year, as part of the registration packet for Jake's school, we are required to include a recent photo of our child. So I took a photo of Jake to get printed and sent to school. It turned out nicely!
And then Jake insisted I take pictures of him making silly faces. So I did.

Parade, Year 3
Waiting for the annual Multnomah Village Days Parade to start. This year I was smart and sent Mike down early with chairs to get a good spot.
Then it started! First came the dogs...

and a llama.

Then the candy madness started!

This robot is so cool.
Hula hoopers.
Bagpipes. What a noise! (I liked the marching band better.)
Plug-in electric hybrid car. Drool.
Loot.


Batman tossing candy instead of bad guys.




Then face painting after the parade was over.
Happy.

Glasses for Jake
The reason this was so hard to figure out is because his right eye is 20/20 while his left eye is farsighted at about 20/60. He was using both eyes together to focus, and thus had been doing just fine seeing things. But his eye and brain sometimes had to work really hard to focus, especially when focusing on the same thing for a while, like a movie, hence the headaches.
So now he is wearing these cute glasses. He is doing really well with them. They are mostly needed for home and school, so he doesn't need to wear them when he's on the playground or other situations where they could get bent or broken (whew!)
I think he's quite handsome in his glasses!

40 Years of Love
Today is my parent's 40th wedding anniversary!!
About a week ago, my sister and I hosted a dinner party in their honor. We had so much fun!
Desserts -- we had 2 marionberry/raspberry pies and vinsanto with biscotti.
Pictures spanning the last 4 decades were collected and hung to view.

Drinks (proscetto) and appetizers (white bean dip on baguettes and cherry tomatoes/mozzarella balls/basil on skewers) in the backyard. It was a hot day but was perfect outside in the shade.

Jake suddenly decided he loves cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls.
Amy, Tyler, Dad, John.

At the end of a wonderful meal (halibut and vegetables cooked in parchment paper with herbed orzo on the side) and desserts, chatting late into the evening.



More pictures thanks to Dianne!Theo the cat joined in the company.
Jake was telling stories and entertaining us.
