Growing older, moving on

Theo's birthday party -- the Science Center Lego exhibit
The Fire Show
Vocano cake
. . . and Birthday dinner in Cincinnati--El Pueblo


It was worth waiting for!


At Chamberlain park, near our old house

Sharing animal crackers
Swinging with friends
Addy and Ally Austin
Notice how dirty Sera is--our kids never get quite as dirty at the parks here as they did in Cincinnati!
At a pre-graduation barbeque
Cheers!

Congratulations Dr. Mitchell!
and let's not forget the ankle-biting study companions!

We had to go to Dewey's to celebrate--nothing like a little hand-tossed pizza dough
Can you tell how delicious it was from here?
At the zoo
The misty tunnel near where we always used to eat lunch
We told Theo that the gibbons (monkeys) were his real parents--it would explain a lot

An evening at Newport on the Levee
An Italian festival along the river
. . . followed by some fireworks
Addy with her buddy Ryan at a graduation celebration at the park
Moms I love!
Joy School friends from 2006-07 (minus Preston)
And I seriously can't believe how much all these kids have grown. Seriously.
. . . AND our trip to King's Island--the highlight of our kids' lives, basically
Riding the Monster
Swiper's Sweeper (did I mention highlight of their lives?)
We rode the Carousel approximately 66 times when it started pouring rain
Rehydration Station
An end to a perfect, if wet, day


Sadly, I didn't get any pictures at the concert. But really, it was amazing.

We lived in Dayton when I was a kid and I remember going to King's Island. I bawled when they said I was too short to go on The Beast, but was secretly please because it looked pretty scary. I just had to act upset so my sibs would know I was scared.
Congrats to Dr. Aaron!
$1.75 for a gallon of milk sounds pretty sweet to me and I don't even live in Canada.
