Birthday Cake

We have two big birthdays in June.  The girls brainstormed about gifts for their daddy, and Ruby and I shopped.  Then they created a scavenger hunt for him to find his presents.  We also were able to celebrate the good report after the brain surgeon checked her work on his brain last week.  Everything looked just like it was supposed to. 

Pearl is away at church camp this week, her first camp experience.  There are just 17 kids at the Nature Camp she's in, and she's sharing a bunk bed with a friend from church.  There were nerves before she left, but by the time we entered the cabin she was all smiles. 

Sapphire graduated from Kindergarten last week.  We had a little five minute ceremony for her, where she insisted on entertaining us by counting to 100.  She received a mommy-made certificate and a Frozen balloon.  She is now telling everyone she meets that she has graduated and that she is 5 1/2.  This is apparently part of some kid greeting ritual

Finally, our one big, free-ranging duck has taken to living in our carport, especially when it rains. We're not sure why, since he has the whole yard and pond to himself, but maybe he likes to see his reflection in my shiny car.
