Whiskey

Jimmy aged and bottled his own whiskey for the first time

 (or Waxy as Carmen calls it).

We'll see how it tastes.

Cheers!

 

 

Vacation, come and gone

We enjoyed 8 glorious days of sunny skies, palm trees, fruit trees and cactus.  Visiting and spending time with Grandma and Grandpa 'son' was the clear highlight along with many other activities.  There were many days spent at the pool.  Carmen truly turned into a little fish, got her confidence and is excited about swimming.  It was really fun to watch.  Max was most excited about golf cart rides (of which there were many) and going to the golf rang(er).  He and Carmen got new putters, which they happily tried out at the putting green.  We ate, drank and had good conversation, were thoroughly spoiled.  There was the annual trip to the Wild Animal Park where we admired the animals and then had lunch next to the Flamingos. There were many rounds of golf played, which was Jimmy's highlight and I got out with Mom for some shopping and Jimmy and I even had a dinner out.  The time flew by, as it always does, but it was a wonderful trip, as it always is.  We are lucky, lucky, lucky.  And now, photo overload...

Awesome Appointment

An awesome dentist appointment = frozen yogurt.

There was no fussing, no tears, no protests.

Two sets of teeth cleaned.

One set of x-rays (four pictures in all).

One slightly wiggly tooth.

Two new toothbrushes.

Two coins given for the prize machine

(three actually, Max seemed to lose his first one...)

One sticker for extra good x-ray behavior.

A big thumbs up from the dentist on good brushing and flossing.

Another appointment set for six months from now.
