The Beginning of Summer and Father's Day

 

POV hahaha

HHD Korean boba tea store. We got milk tea soft serve. Delicious!


Symbiosis. They weren't actually sleeping but they did trial this win-win setup

Father's Day! We went to Portage Bay for breakfast and a sushi restaurant in Wallingford for dinner.

Olin pushing Babz at Ikea. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast/lunch for a very reasonable price at the Ikea cafeteria


Our mowing days might be over (our new landscape people do an all inclusive landscape service so they are taking over everything since we clearly don't know what we're doing - haha) so I real quick taught Olin how to mow.

Black pepper from Terri's plant sale!

Resting at Crumpet Shop

Our new rock and landscape. So much better. We were completely overgrown with weeds and too many plants and bushes.

We have high hopes for a new eczema regimen - slightly dampened gloves to wear overnight (with another glove covering it to keep the dampness in, and a couple of new balms from the Ezcema Company. This is Day 1.

The Big Move

Christian announced last week he was ready to move out, so I helped him, and just like that he migrated north to the guest bedroom. It's now his! We got a desk from Ikea this past weekend and he set it up by himself last night saying "mom, you didn't tell me how fun it is to put together Ikea furniture". LOL

Olin now has a new desk (actually it's the desk Gong gong took out of a dumpster, I think, and revarnished way back in the day!). We also noted that now he has a perfect bed for any overnight guests!

He's been hard at work personalizing his space...

 

Exfoliation of Teeth

We're very close to all primary teeth being lost. Olin's down to his last few, and he's been losing a tooth every few months. He said "I've been losing so many teeth, I'm tired of it"...

8th Grade Graduation and End of School Years

They do something called an 8th grade clapout. The 8th graders run the halls of the school 3-4 times while all the parents and students are clapping for them.

8th Grade teachers Mrs. Grace and Mrs. Esping

Onnie's 80th! Lunch at Lulu on the patio

This was a pic sent from school of "Olin dancing". I forgot to ask him what this was all about but the pic was hilarious

This leg compression device Dae got from work. It presses your legs tight, on and off, for an hour or however long you want. It's interesting.

New head ear cleaner

Wadhwa award! 4.0 for his 8th grade year

One of the moms organized a paintball session for a group of the 8th grade boys the day after school ended. They were nicely surprised.

Last day of school Farmer's Market field trip for Sagebrush!




Seattle with Selynn and Minah

Met up for the night with old Portland friends Minah and Selynn and had a nice time at the condo! Olin’s fall soccer photo finally came in  ...
