A Resilient Boy

The first time we went down the water slide, Simon was so excited to go again he jumped right off the tube and went all the way under water- look carefully and you can see him as the lifeguard is fishing him out. We were worried that he wouldn't want to do anymore water rides. But...
















We remebered to put on a life vest...























And he had a great time with Mama and...























A great time with Daddy! And later went down a much bigger slide with us too- we couldn't take pictures of that one but trust me, it was big!
















Simon also rode the big roller coaster several times with out hesitation. He is fearless when it comes to rides it seems.

What Makes a Boy This Happy?

Going to Sesame Place!

Drawing More and More

Simon really like to watch a show called Arthur on TV. Then he likes to draw Arthur and other characters on the show- he does it pretty well.


















This drawing is pretty full, a dog, a butterfly, some words, some letters, and our car.

Family Reunion

Simon and Chi Chi helped make a ton of cookies which we then brought to...























Mountain Lakes! We toasted to welcome Jim into the family. Sadly, our photo has Jim completely hidden by Julia.
















There was lots of laughing.
















And lots of rolling on balls.

A Big Announcement

Here is our car at the curb for the last time.
















Here is Simon pressing the button to open the...
















Garage!
















Yes, after being on the waiting list for 7 years and 7 months we now have a garage spot.
Hooray!

Mother's Day Happiness

Mama got a lovely card and gift from school for Mother's Day.
