Olivier's Birthday Party!

Devin's little friend, Olivier turned 3 on June 7th, but just had his party this past Sunday. There were an abundant of food, kids humor, & kids tears. All in all, everyone had fun and yes, including the parents.

Our Friends...

Our friends Larry & Ruby got engaged at stroke of midnight on Father's Day. Apparently Larry had this planning for a while. And Ruby had no idea! After church, we went out for Indian food to celebrate. We are so excited for them & can't wait for their wedding in November!

Congrats to the newly engaged couple!

Picnic

Yesterday was our church picnic at the Prospect Park. Devin ate 1 1/2 burgers (in the span of 3 hours), played different kind of sports, and befriended a bull dog named Funky aka Fatso (she was a fat puppy, we were told) that shares his birthday. We had a tiring but fun filled day.

Beat the Heat

Thursday was another gardening day for the kids at our co-op complex. This time Devin's buddy Olivier joined him in the fun. But half of the time, they were watering each other instead of the flowers. What better way to beat the heat?! They were so funny...and wet!

Our Little Green Thumb

Today was our first day at the Children's Gardening Club, one of our Co-op complex's annual activities for the kids. And this is a once-a-week activity for the month of June. When I told Devin our schedule for the day this morning, he couldn't wait to dig in the dirt & plant. He woke up from his nap & was all ready to go, didn't even want to go to the playground. Yes, he was THAT excited. Unfortunately the planting didn't start till later in the early evening, so he ended up in the bathroom playing with water for a while. When he finally got to the garden, he did so well in turning the dirt, planting & watering the flowers. Of course, he came home soaking wet. And he loved it!
