We had a lot of family time yesterday. We all, aunts, uncles, Marcy's Mom, neighbors, congregated at a local football field for my niece's promotion ceremony (Grandma couldn't go). Thanks to Southern California's perpetually sunny weather the graduation and promotion ceremonies can be held outside and it was HOT! I don't remember doing this in jr. high and my brother said that this is a recent addition to the middle school program. All those kids sure looked older than eighth grade!
Afterwards we all went out to lunch and had a grand ol' time.So here are family pictures for the benefit of Tetsu at home in Japan.
Takumi and Leiya together for a quick picture at the restaurant. They actually can stand next to each other and smile! (I'm remembering days of old when there was pushing and shoving and complaints of "Tell her to stop touching me!")
My brother and I enjoying an evening in front of the fireplace. Even though the days are warming up the evenings still get pleasantly cool. I think the fireplace is for atmosphere not warmth. That and my brother helped cut down a tree a couple of weeks so there's a lot of dead wood around.
Marcy and I made a trip to Jo Anns and I bought a few Olfa cutting boards at half price off. Yeah! I need to make a baby quilt for someone at church so I bought fabric for that and Marcy remembered two people that SHE needed to get baby gifts for, so guess what? Marcy is going to make a quilt! One. Maybe two. Doesn't she look like a pro piling her fabric bolts into her cart?

What fun chairs!
I'd say Marcy looks like she's off to a good start! It's good to see you relaxing with your feet up. I'm sure you were happy with your arms around both your children, warms a mother's heart like nothing else.
The ball chairs just cracked me up! Looks like you're doing well spreading the quilting "bug".
How reassuring to hear that they do eventually get past that 'Don't breath my airspace' phase - please let it come soon!
Looks like a great family time yesterday. Did you bring an extra suitcase for all the quilting supplies you will buy?!
What a great picture of the three of you together! I knew you were going to get Marcy into quilting one of these days.
That must be a huge school! So good to see you and your children together. I love the chairs. Go Marcy, you can do it - you have a good teacher!!!!
Looks as though you all had a wonderful time. Takumi and really tall, he must take after his father. Leiya is just stunning, beautiufl young lady. Glad you had fun at Joanns, never can leave there with too little. Enjoy.
