This is what summer is all about

Its almost August and that means that its almost time to return back to school. I'm looking forward to Carter joining Katie at Follow the Child. I've been able to spend a lot of time with him lately, of just one on one time - and I've enjoyed every single moment of it. He is so refreshing and quite a challenge, but he is also so generous and considerate.

I do also miss spending time with Katie. Jenny always says we've got some special bond, and I think that is so true. Katie seems to be having lots of fun and trying new things as well, so knowing how her personality is, I'm very proud of her (as usual)

Here's a picture of her on the lake

What fun weekend!

Carter and I had a lot of fun hanging out this weekend. Jenny took Katie on a Girl's Night Out (though I threaten to crash the party along with Carter), but we decided to be good guys and head out to the RDU Observation Deck instead.

And on Saturday, boy, he was in heaven. He got to race cars


And most of all, he got to play a game where he gets to "hit" things and not hear the proverbial "No hitting di-di!!"

Instructions? What instructions

I'm loving the summer time, no more rushing to eat, rushing to bed, and sleeping in a little bit later than usual.

Here's a picture of Carter,being the stupendous helper that he is, helping me figure out how to work this telescope

I need a moment...please

Captured this at a fellowship a while back...from this angle his head
looks huge!

Best Friends Forever

Just out of curiosity, I asked Katie, who is your best friend?

She said "Carter. Carter is my best friend. He's my brother and my best friend and I love him!"

Summer has started for the Yu Family. We just recently took the kids to the pool to swim. Carter is really enjoying it

High School Musical, we may never let it go

We're at the Progress Energy Center watching this show...that song has
never rung so true!

Wild weekend...but first

Congratulations to Katie, for moving up to extended day. Katie will be in the equivalent of kindergarten this coming school year. She is showing off her pin, which recognizes her role as a leader in her clas next year.

On to the weekend, it was definitely an auspicious start. Almond Tofu expert ran into some stiff resistance with some of the ingredients, and I mean stiff

Not to worry for those who consumed almond tofu at the picnic, the situation was rectified right away.

Speaking of picnics, we spent Sunday afternoon at the Kids Together park in Cary with our Church fellowship group. It was great fun for the kids and just a great time of relaxation and hanging out amongst the grown ups. Although...I do feel sorry for the owner of the shoes below
