Nora’s Girl Scout Crossover

Nora recently completed the crossover from being a brownie to a Jr. Girl Scout. Here are a few photos of the event.

Kai works on his word search puzzle book.

From the look on his face you would think that Kai isn't excited to spend the evening at the Girl Scout crossover.

Kai with the new car

They squabble a fair bit but Nora really looks up to Kai.

Kai’s Basketball Tournament

Last weekend was Kai’s basketball tournament. He was pretty jazzed that his team went undefeated.

Suki isn't happy that she can't go to the game.

Nora’s Activities

This week Nora had her 3rd grade concert and 3rd grade art show. She was over the moon to show us what she’s done and even threw in some cartwheels on the way home.

A few random pictures

Here are a few random pictures from the last week or so. Crystal has been away on a business assignment so it has been just Kai, Nora and me (and even Kai was gone part of it in Oman).

The new backyard partly done. New bricks and a sunshade.

Kai home from Oman

Kai and Nora outside the dinning hall to pick up lunch.

Picnic on a family bike ride. A fierce wind came up afterward and the trip up the big hill was an adventure.

Cooking dinner with Kai's recipe for breaded chicken. The trick - rub the chicken with a pickle before breading.

Last weekend the Russells graciously invited us for a picnic and day at the beach at the Half Moon Bay Yacht club. The weather could not have been better and the dolphins made a rare appearance. Nora even got to go out in Ian Russel’s sail boat at see the dolphins up close. Kai is in day four of his five day Oman trip so I threw in a picture of him on his way out the door. Enjoy!
