Where Sokolovics (arrived 2004 CE) co-exist peacefully with stromatolite fossils (deposited ~400e6 BCE)
Last weekend (yeah, just catching up) we spent Father’s Day with Nanny and Poppy at the trailer. They boys fished…
… and swam…
… and we celebrated Nanny’s birthday:
Later that week, Thomas had his last day of Kindergarten, with the traditional on-stage celebration:

Hear him roar!
See him cut!
Spike recently chose a new shell! Here he is taking a bath.
And Daniel won a goldfish in his class at school. The fish’s name: Goldie. Yep.
Thomas got his yellow belt yesterday, and we celebrated the “graduation” with ice cream at Kimberly’s.
Today, Daniel had second baseball game. I caught Thomas downing a hot dog, Daniel beating the throw to home plate, and Daniel getting a hit later in the game:
Thomas turns 6 this week, so he had a b-day party on Saturday at LaVallee’s USA Blackbelt Champions.
The kids practiced karate, played dodgeball, and ate pizza. What more could a kid ask for? I’ll tell you what else – Thomas got to cut the cake with a sword! Cool.

The scene: Driving home from swim lessons, passing a cemetery. On the radio, just loud enough to serve as ambiance, Ke$ha laments about boys trying to “touch her junk.” John breaks the mood and says…
John: Look, the cemetery.
Daniel: Hmm. Do you think anyone famous is buried [...]
The snow wasn’t good for skiing this weekend, so Kath suggested a Sunday snowshoeing adventure at Highland Forest. A great time was had by all. It was also the first time I got to take the new birthday camera out for a spin, and I was very pleased with the results.
Daniel went on his first sleepover last week. It wasn’t really a big deal – we didn’t expect to get the “your kid is scared so come get him” call at 10pm – but still, it’s a first.
Thomas felt a little left out, so we had a sleepover of our own. We played [...]
… over?
Yeah, we’re still here. Generally, weeknights or weekends are the times I would post something here. For a little taste of why I haven’t, here’s a quick overview of the last several days out here on the Manlius Formation – which, relative to DC, does not have as much snow right now [...]
