Sparse update: few words, many images

This is going to be short... we are still in the midst of our busy schedules, but can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Kat needs to grade some projects in the next week, and is busily sending chapters to the Netherlands for (hopefully) final approval.
Mike is jetting about ALL over town for the Handyman connection, while working on making connections for a timber framing job in Hartford.
The boys are phenomenal and continue to brighten our every day. Next week mom will take a 'mental health day' and accompany James' class on their first field trip to the FARM. What fun!

Important upcoming dates:

Move to Hartford: June 30/July 1

Katharine's defense in the NL: August 29th

Moments to share:

What we do when Mom is gone: make a ramp out of spare pieces of wood for our cars to fly down




A precarious balancing act...

Mike- 0
Vacuum cleaner- 1
It didn't get attached to him, by the way-- he tripped over it in the night while going to see about James





James re-enacting Cars the movie with all his Cars

It took me a second look to realize that the vacuum won. Nasty bruise. Good videos of the boys - Will will be right up there with James shortly. Thanks for update..

Your pictures and videos are worth more than a thousand words. I especially like the "supervised" wrestling" action shot. Glad to hear about the light at the end of the tunnel, the move will be here before you know it.

Even Doug said "OOOWWWW".

Good luck with the big work and the defense coming up. We will be thinking of you.
