Done with school FOREVER!!!

Taylor officially passed the BAR a few weeks ago. Poor guy, they sent his letter to our DC address and all his friends kept calling saying they'd received their letters and he couldn't find his. Of course the BAR office wouldn't answer calls or return them for 4 days either so he was left in limbo. But yes, he passed! And the letter finally got to him 4 days later. Congratulations!

Things have settled into a normal routine around here (of course we're about to mess that nice routine up with a new baby). We've appreciated all the extra time in the evenings and on weekends that he has to spend with us. Here's just a few of the fun things we get to do together.
Neighborhood block party. They go a little crazy and this year the theme was Chinese New Year- even though it was August so we hung out with lots of neighbors and played games. They even got a Dragon to parade around and entertain everyone.
We volunteered to supervise the bounce house for an hour knowing our kids would be happy to get to stay inside that whole time. And they did. You can barely see Isaac perched at the top of the slide. Luckily he wasn't scared cause there's no way I could have gotten in to get him out.
And lots of evenings the Wii gets included as part of our entertainment. Here's 3 generations playing Mario Cart. Ethan is actually really good now and often beats Taylor and I. Scary how quickly they get good at electronic things.
