The French Boy and the Spanish Girl

This year for International night, the kids wanted to represent a different country than Greece and Vietnam. They selected France and Spain from their trip. 

Rocky Brook

Everyday is adventure with the kids and lessons to learn. We went to Rocky Brook today for our annual picking and visiting friend who live next to the orchard. We learned that you pick pear up and not twisting as apples. Also, the orchard prune their trees short because of hurricanes. 

Busy September

It was full speed for September. Tuesday we had Michael's first day in first grade and Alexia's fifth birthday. Today, Alexia started school. 

Pears in Newport

This year we picked the pears before the squirrels could get to them. These are the pears from one of our trees in Newport. Don't worry. We saved a few pears for the squirrels. Happy Labor Day!

Last Day in Vadilika

Spiros just sent these pictures. It's the kids last day in Vadilika. They are home tomorrow night. 

New Love

It's the World Cup and Michael is in love with baseball. He finally received his first baseball mitt and we found a small pink one for Alexia. 

Strawberries

Having good friends bring strawberry picking to a new level of awesomeness.
