June Catch Up

Now that I am caught up on May, I will catch up for June too.  Even though Lois was moving into her condo WHILE my kids were there (we helped them move from their apartment to their condo right before we went to Nicaragua) she didn't mind that we stayed a couple more days before we headed home. 

One of the last days in Nicaragua I saw some Kinder eggs at the check out at La Colonia.  We bought one for each of the kids (sorry Elden, you missed out again).  The point of purchase worked on us Matt!

Look familiar Sheldon?  Well, somewhat.  The wording isn't in Italian.

Our last day (boo hoo) at Lois', the guys put together Cal's birthday toys.  What do you think he got?  Legos of course!

The next weekend my dad was here for Father's Day.  Here are Shanna and my dad a few days before Father's Day.

One night it was Cal's turn to wipe off the table and chairs.  He was doing such a great job with the chairs that I had to get a picture.

On the 24th we had our first official emergency room visit.  Cal ran into the kitchen doorway and split his eyebrow open. The cut necessarily wasn't too bad, but it gapped open and I figured it would need stitches.  It was quite convenient actually--timing wise.  Lee had just finished work.  He came home and took Cal in.  It is all healed and Cal has a cool scar.  The night he came home, he and Clark were admiring the stitches in front of the bathroom mirror.  Hopefully we can last another 7 years without any emergency room visits!

I am glad Cal had a smile on his face at the end of the day...dirty faced and stitched!
