Maxine is funny, smart, talented, sociable, and very much a teenager.

This is Maxine

Maxine likes her penguin costume.

"Yes, you've reached a penguin."

"Maxine's recurring theme: glasses, phone, merry go 'round."

Arthur turns 11

sm_admin — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:06:29 +0000

Today is Arthur’s 11th birthday. In celebration, we will spend this next week staying at home and cooking turkeys. Unfortunately for him, he still had to go in to school today.

Arthur likes the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, and he is working his way through Harry Potter. His favorite movies are the Back To The Future trio, and his favorite actor is Michael J. Fox. Arthur started fifth grade at a new school this year and has already proven himself popular and made lots of friends.

Below is a gallery of pictures from the past year, many of them taken by Arthur himself while fooling around with his Dad’s laptop.

“Depressingly Cheery”

The girls are still at camp, and I am still scouring the camp website for pictorial evidence that they are healthy and well. I found several pictures with Marina, but only one with Maxine. We did get letters from both now, which is nice, although Maxy wrote about how “depressingly cheery” everyone is. That seems pretty clear in her picture.

Making Friends

It has been a week since I’ve seen either of my girls, and it’s strange to troll the camp website, looking for evidence that they are healthy and well. We got our first letter from Marina over the weekend, and she writes that she is having a great time, and it seems from these pictures that they are making friends.

Bowling Girls

The girls are away to summer camp for three whole weeks, and the house is eerily silent. It is strange to not be able to even talk to them. We’ve written a couple of letters, but have yet to receive anything back. (To be fair, it’s only been four days). Therefore, it was very nice to find these two pictures of them on the camp website, bowling with friends and having a good time. And alive!
