Spring and Summer have moved swiftly this year--summer is half gone and school is looming in the future..here are some pics that show some of the happenings.  Erin relaxing in the yard with Lanian playing ball in the background, Lauren being pregnant with Josh Jr., Jared graduating elementary--so did Pike but my camera was broken so no picture :( , Josh in repose after a hot day at work,  May, Trav and Spencer circus dreaming, Robyn and her cat sticking her tongue out at me after her cancer surgery, which she and her family handled bravely and well, Amanda and Jetta the new lab owned and loved by all the little Jones'es, Kendall, Jordan and May on my piano (chopsticks forever!), Robert and me and Michael at the temple, Michael took the picture.  We did some family work together--wonderful day! Spencer in fife and drum, Riley's Birthday--joyful bedlam!  Another picture of the kids at Riley's, no Matthew is not sucking his thumb--just waiting patiently for me to hurry up! The Charming Clara with her hero--DA-DA, whom she calls all the time especially when she's in trouble, Riley with her friend Otis (Spencer's bird.) Otis is hiding in terror but she doesn't care--she still likes him!


This is just a sample of some of the things in our lives these last few months--and certainly only a fraction of the family photos---I'll update with more later!!

Spencer's First March in The Colonial Williamsburg Fife and Drum Corps
He performed on stage on market Square on his Grandpa's birthday, July 4th.  On the sixth of July he had his first march on DOG street!  He was awesome and because this is the time of the alumni gathering they also marched and then the Junior Corps, the Alumni Squad, and then the Senior Corps all performed together--it was awesome!  I was so proud and looking forward to Tig and Pike joining the ranks.  Fife and Drums forever!

dunes


salty sands piled high at ocean's edge
blown by fierce winds from faraway places
into deposits of gold touched by sunset light...
then kissed by evening stars.
