Monday's Child is Fair of Face

Grandson Patrick Seaghan Leonard arrived on Monday, June 22, 2009 at 6:49 PM. He weighed 8 lb 5 oz, and is 21" long.

Big brother Luke is enchanted with the baby.

Mom the Builder

It's 90 degrees outside and Mom built a wall.

Saturday

A little mowing and edging and weeding, then a relaxing day on the patio, enjoying the beautiful weather. And a very busy little boy.

The Ants Go Marching...

The Ant-Crusher at work, ridding our house of thousands upon thousands of unwanted ants!

School's Over

Finals were over in early in May, then Greta immediately started May Term. She took Pych. That's over now too, but final grades aren't posted yet. Here are the results of her spring semester's work in Advanced Ceramics:

David finished his Freshman year by getting a delivery job at Napa Auto Parts. He says it's rather boring, but he likes the paycheck.

He also played his pipes at one of the four graduation ceremonies at school. No one knew he would be playing, so he got a few surprised looks. This weekend he's off in CA playing his bagpipes in cousin Danica's wedding. I can't wait to hear all about it. (And maybe add a picture.)

Secretary David

Yesterday afternoon, I was invited to attend the last regular Student Government Association meeting for the semester to see David sworn in as Executive Secretary. He ran unopposed, as did the entire slate of officers. (That's the new Treasurer being sworn in next to him.)

Greta decided not to run for the fall, so she is rolling off. But she plans to stay involved as an executive page or something. Her friend Daniel is now President.

Baskin-Robbins

As 5:00 Wednesday rolled around, we remembered that Baskin-Robbins was selling ice cream for 31 cents a scoop. Heather, Luke and I were the only ones home, but we had no baby car seat. So we walked! It's not that far to Baskin-Robbins, and walking gave us the opportunity to walk off all the ice cream calories before we went back home to eat dinner. Yep! Dessert first. It's better that way, so they say.
