Max

Max (Emperor Maximilian)  April, 1995 - June 23, 2011

Our dear, sweet Maxi had to be put to sleep today.  Two months ago he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on is face.  It had become large enough to make him uncomfortable. He has been a huge presence in our lives for the last 16 years.  We love him and will miss him.

The boys dressed and black and had a little service for him.

Conner made this memorial plaque.

They were genuinely sad.  Especially Aidan.  He had quite the crying jag after this.

Goodbye Max.

First Day of Summer...

And finally hot here in California...

Happy Father's Day...

to all the dads in our lives!

Morning bounce...

This is how Euan spent his Father's Day Eve...  Putting together a trampoline (and a ping pong table) for the kids.

Peter Pan

After taking a break from from the last production, Conner participated in the spring session of Broadway Bound Kids.  Because of his hard work and focus during rehearsals he was given one of the Michael roles (there we three over 9 shows).   He was so excited and did such a great job.  He also got to fly which thrilled him.  Here are some pictures that I took.  I ordered some of the professional ones that I will post when I get them!  (Conner is the in the light blue pajamas.)

Off to Neverland...

Captured by pirates...

Saying goodbye to Peter!

Home to London!

The grand finale!  (Conner was a lost boy for the other performances)

Aidan's Baseball Picture

Here is Aidan's official baseball photo:

Swimming in the snow!

Last week was spring break for the boys.  I decided at the last minute to take them on a little getaway!  (Euan had to work :(  )

We went to Tahoe for a couple of days.  It was great.  I don't know which they enjoyed more, playing in the snow or swimming in the pool surrounded by snow!

I took this from our second story balcony!  The snow was level with it!
