Father's Day Weekend

Last week Sophie went to Aunt Karen and Uncle Jack's for two nights, then spent a third night at Nana's. She had a great time hanging out at the pool, going to Monkey Joe's, taking a drive to PTC to visit Grandma and Grandpa Gould, and basically basking in the attention.



Michael and Emily don't have a preference for the bigger neighborhood pool or the one in our backyard, so we opt for the backyard when Sophie's not around. Emily's favorite activity is throwing everything out, and Michael never seems to mind picking it all back up for her.

On Father's Day we drove up to Nana's to pick Sophie up. We had not been up to her house in way too long, and the kids really enjoyed it. They got to fool around on the piano, and Karen brought a bocce set as well. Michael was more interested in retrieving the balls then in playing correctly, much to his older sister's annoyance.


And congratulations to my father, who finally won the "who has the most grandchildren" contest at the 5:30 Mass on Saturday. The prize was a gift certificate to Home Depot, which I am sure he will have no trouble spending. A very nice Father's Day all around.

Mare, That was one of Ellen's favorites to use with Soph in therapy. I had forgotten about it, but will look for it at the library next week. It is a great book.
