Intervention
We (myself especially) have been begging Kieran for weeks to get some sort of haircut, trim, etc. Tonight I tried bribes, manipulation and all other methods a mother knows, but he refuses. I'll remind you, he's not had a cut since this past summer in Spain.....
Therefore; I have no other option but to stage an intervention. We will meet in person, via Skype, or telephone at a future time to convince this young man what's best for his future...
The rules for the intervention:
1. Plan it out
2. Seek additional help, i.e.; clergy or counselor
3. Make him realize he does have a problem
3. Let him know it's not his fault
4. Provide unconditional love

Aikido, kudasai!
Test day for all the kids. I was afaid I might run out of disk space on the camera. We watched one young man get his lower brown belt so the boys have their work cut out from them on the next test. They need to become very disciplined.

Breaking News from BNN
Belen gives a tour of the kitchen upgrades. Unrehearsed, in her own words. We're thinking a Gumar is something from India. Perhaps Grandpa can enlighten us?

A Week In Cape Cod
The uncles took Belen to pick the lobsters, but she wanted no part in touching them. She'd rather spend time on the beach, building castles and flying kites. During our travels, she refused to let anyone pack, unpack or carry her suitcase through the airport! A continuation of the family of travellers.....

Summer Vacation in Oregon
The Oregon folk set off for a week in the country. We encountered many new things; wild turkeys, salamanders, crawdads, scorpions and Grandpa's redneck swimming pool--a horse trough. Record temperatures forced us to spend most of our time in the A/C.

A Weekend Hike
Belen led us all through a 3 mile hike along very steep hills and valleys--as you might expect, she was steadfast, determined, and unstoppable!
Everyone had to rest to keep up with her...
Except Kieran...

Egg Hunt
Belen went to her first community egg hunt today. Since we don't have the boys this year we thought it cruel to have her hunt eggs by herself so we found a park near the house so she could collect eggs with strangers :-). We were surprised that she wasn't scared of the Easter Bunny, and she let us take a photo!
