Happy Graduation Erik!

We are so proud of Erik for finishing his degree in Process Technology. The entire family gathered to watch him walk - and then celebrated with not only a lovely dinner but a tasty luncheon at Erik's favorite restaurant (D'Annas).



What a joyful day for all of us to celebrate Erik's accomplishments.



It was especially great that baby Alise could be there to witness her Daddy's big day.



The Renoud babies continue to grow. Jamisen would like to grow wider than he should, having now discovered sugar. He just asks for it outright: "I want some sugar. Sugar is good for me."



Lily is still cheerful and happy so long as she's been recently fed. She still gets a little twitch when presented with delicious food, like a tiny frisson of excitement that just needs to work its way out through the wiggles.

Lily is fighting a sinus infection so she's on some heavy duty antibiotics, despite my misgivings towards over medicating for no real reason.


Jamisen is getting ready to switch schools from Hillcrest, where he has been for 1 1/2 years to a Montessori school system. We're transitioning him for the next two months by sending him to summer camp. Time will tell if this was a good idea or just too many transitions in a row. He is excited about summer camp and has been asking to leave Hillcrest for a couple months so we're hopeful it's the right scholastic choice for our little redhead.


Erik is keeping the kids amused in this photo by juggling for them. Big thanks to Erik and Cheriss for babysitting both kiddos so we could get a date night in.



We cheered Chris on as he finished another triathlon. He finished strong, but tired. After watching him train for the last few months, we're all proud of him for working so hard.
