I made a cake yesterday and Ryan frosted it/I decorated it last night. We gave Korben his family gifts just before dinner time - a DS game called "Legendary Starfy" and a fancy DS case that holds like 40 games or something ridiculous like that, and also has room for all his other accessories. Ruma gave him a Sonic the Hedgehog game for the wii.

Because I have awesome friends, we got to go to the ceremony for the returning crew of the Space Shuttle today, and Korben got to meet the astronauts!
Here's Korben with Dr. Dave Wolf. The Doctor spoke with Korben for quite a few minutes and it was photo op time, so he may have his picture published somewhere.
Here's a writeup of the landing: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2009/jul/HQ_09_179_Shuttle_landing_success.html
I'm laughing at the name of the new treadmill. Stephen Colbert knows no shame.
He kept asking Korben questions, and I was shocked - Korben was so overwhelmed by meeting the austronaut that he was speechless!
Sophie still looks like a mini-Burgundy most of the time, though her eyes are more green than burg's now...
Korben made a friend. Haha, actually, this was PERFECT timing, because not even a half second after I snapped this, Korben noticed he was moving and screamed like a girl and dropped it. He wanted to bring it home, but I explained that it was an ocean hermit crab, not a land crab, and we don't have a salt water tank here.
I've never seen the trawlers working so close to shore before. I took this driving down the seawall. We left the beach when I started hearing thunder. It had briefly sprinkled while we were there, but I made a good call getting out when we did. Not 10 minutes after we got in the car, the heavens opened up and poured down for a good 35 minutes. It was heavy enough rain that the kids thought it was another hurricane, and the traffic on the freeway was going 35-40 instead of the normal 70-80. But we had a great time.
Sophie's best friend in the whole world, Frankie, and Frankie's sister. I wish I could get them together for playdates, but without cooperation from Frankie's mom, there's not much I can do except hope that Frankie and Sophie will be in separate classes next year so she can make a new best friend who's more available.
Here's the other video from Korben's graduation. Enjoy!
Korben's doing great with the swimming, but has gotten in trouble several times for not listening to the lifeguards (i.e. getting in the pool when he's not supposed to) and Sophie is struggling with getting her head wet. She apparently is just like I was and doesn't want to get her face or ears wet. We're working on it.

This year, we had a hunt in the backyard instead of in the house. I hope it stays as green and lovely back there now that the trees are filling in. Sophie had to get "dressed up special" for the hunt, while Korben opted to stay in his pajamas.
