Day One at Mowglis

Will began his summer at Mowglis today. Mowglis is a traditional New England boys' camp, with an emphasis on hiking. It is also traditional in the sense that the camp session lasts seven weeks to allow the boys time to really get to know each other and experience camp culture to the fullest. The smile in this photo is a bit misleading. Will is actually pretty apprehensive about being at camp for so long (ok, to be blunt, he hid in a closet in the attic this morning in the hopes of not having to go). After seeing the camp, on Newfound Lake in New Hampshire, Will was somewhat more positive. The people we met were wonderful, and Will is very adaptable. We are all hoping that Will makes lots of friends at camp and transitions quickly from being homesick to enjoying his summer community.

Get your tongue off the pole!

I swear I heard a mom shout this to her child just now! It wasn't me...really!

Wills Plastic Surgery on Baby

Lyra's baby was as shocked as Lyra to discover, when she awoke from her plastic surgery, Will used silly putty to give her a complete face lift. Now she looks like Richard Nixon.

(That was from Will. Isn't this creepy??)

Eva's Gymnastics Meet

Here's Eva's floor routine from her meet last night. She has worked very hard all year and recently just got her roundoff back handspring! That was something I never learned to do.
