Summertime keeps rolling on

Thomas and I play Scrabble ... Thomas does pretty well!

Candy Land

A walk down the Martinez Marina

We make the beds into bunks

Butterfly Sophia

Just a week without Matthew

Thomas helps Matthew spackle our room; Téa is building up to crawling; Thomas helps out his cousin; breaking out the shaved ice maker from my youth; Terran wins three games of Candy Land in a row!

Star Talk with Thomas and Sophia

Thomas: Beetlegeuse is a red giant! It's so big, mommy! If our Sun was a red giant, it would be so big! It would go out past the asteroid belt, to Jupiter even!

Me: Wow, that's really big! I'm glad our Sun is not a red giant, because then we'd be inside the sun!

Sophia (matter-of-factly): You would need to wear a tank top.

Happy birthday, Baba!

Terran loves "The Terran Book"

Téa and Sophia

We STILL go back to the farmer's market! 

We do some redecorating downstairs

Téa comes to visit!

Téa and her happy cousin Sophia

Téa and Thomas

Having "teatime" and playing a "game" of Scrabble

Thoma wrote me a note all by himself: "I am tired of going to the farmer's market. Please stop going there. Tommy" LOL

Helping with the laundry on chore day because they don't want to clean their room!

Muddling along

Dropping Sophia of at school

He's had a busy day

Pretending to drive the car

More Téa!
