I had my own personal cheering squad at the Howell Aquathlon.

I'm in the yellow bathing cap.

Forget the entertainment, the boys just loved the enormous Rocket popsicles they were selling at Ann Arbor Summer Fest.

A terrific field trip!

2013-07-25T16:03:00.000-04:00

In early June, Kyle's class set out to explore the arboretum and take cute pictures for Father's Day presents.

What a great surprise it was for them to find the hospital helicopter sitting on its landing pad! They really enjoyed getting a personal tour.

Theme Week

2013-07-24T23:19:00.000-04:00

Shane's class assigned a different color every day one week in June. The kids loved it!

Yellow Day was cute enough to warrant two pictures

Purple day was our favorite: since Shane has no purple clothes, Kyle made him a Tshirt with a purple marker and an inside-out white shirt:

2013-06-22T07:03:00.000-04:00

I feel much closer to home knowing that we can drive Ann Arbor to Montreal.

The boys were super, the weather was mostly fine, and we enjoyed a few nice rest-stop breaks

The Biteen-Johnsen clan had a delicious lunch at Hoai Huong, which brought back memories of our rehearsal lunch at the same restaurant 8(!) years ago!

Ice Cream Social at Angell Elementary

2013-06-11T19:07:00.000-04:00

A fun time at the annual ice cream social at Kyle's soon-to-be kindergarten. Kyle's favorite part: "superman" ice cream. Pretty much the same thing as "bubble gum" ice cream. Pretty sure I wasn't allowed to order that when I was a kid.

Shane's buddy Hakan

2013-06-10T22:21:00.000-04:00

Shane invited his friend Hakan and his family over for a BBQ...

Kyle was thrilled when Rebecka and Raquel lent him a princess nightie!

Canoeing

2013-06-07T21:09:00.000-04:00

Ann Arbor is great, especially when the weather is nice! Eric and I took Kyle canoeing down the Huron River from Argo to Gallup, where we were met by Huong and Shane.
