Canoeing on Lake Griffy

Ethan turns 9!

Ethan had a grand birthday party at a local lazer-tag establishment. Everyone had lots of fun!

Here Ethan and Dad play some skee-ball before the lazer-tag games start.

Everyone is getting suited up and ready for play!

Ethan & a friend try to tag each other with their lazers!

The teams are done with their game (and Ethan is hiding behind a leaf).

WHAT? Aunt Michelle and Uncle Andre sent Ethan a Wii game. He doesn't even own a Wii--Bummer.

Another Wii game?! Something sneaky is definitely up!

Wii-hoo! Ethan figures out he just got his dream gift!

Talia's Trip to Argentina

I finally arrive in Buenos Aires! Here I am in the courtyard of my aunt's apartment and on the stairs leading to my aunt's apartment.

My great aunt Mary and me.

The apartment my mom's family lived in when she was very young in Buenos Aires. The fourth floor balcony was their apartment.

Here's a picture of my grandparent's wedding and a photo I took on my visit to the church they were married in.

Mom loved feeding the birds in the Plaza de Mayo!

Mom and me in Plaza de Mayo.

Argentine soldiers at Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires retrieve the flag at sunset, but take a moment for a photograph with us!

Me in Plaza San Martin, a plaza my mom played in as a youth in Buenos Aires.

At Mom's house in La Falda, Mom cleans the pool and then enjoys it!

I'm enjoying the warm weather and the pool!
