Stop! Summer time!

We went to Massachusetts for a few days to visit Tim and Meg. Bonus: Andy's parents were there for a few weeks to visit the Ferguson-Sauder clan, so we got to stay with them.

Tim, Meg, Cole, Olive and Asher outside a castle.


Inside...








He's so into armor...


Contemplating...


Surprise!


Cute!


Teething...


Team Sauder




Cell of a good time...


Life's a (cold) beach!






Safe


Daring


Then it rained.


Feet


Then the rain stopped...
Found (sand) art


Andy found a pet...he named it Trevor.




The Thinker


Not thinking...




Wedding cake?

The graduate

Stevie's high school graduation was in May. His party was held the day before the ceremony and we were all aflutter trying to get everything ready.
Here Andy works on a posterboard for people to sign and give Stevie their well-wishes


Andrew pretended to help.


Stevie was kindof acting freakish before the big bash...




The calm before the storm...


He's so proud of Andy's work...


I was kindof disappointed to learn the cake was chocolate. As much as I love chocolate, I've never been a huge fan of chocolate cake. Then I remembered it wasn't about me. Oh.


Friends are friends forever...














Just because it was chocolate cake didn't mean I wasn't going to eat it. I mean, it was still sweet, right? And anyway, it had the best whipped cream frosting in the world.


Andrew put on a few party tricks. Here he levitates...


Here he demonstrates his flexibility...



The fashion police were immediately summoned...


Stevie also had cake...




Andy and Andrew took pity on the dogs who were trapped outside during the party...












Pomp and circumstance...
