Last night we had an early birthday celebration for our friend Bre, with homemade Japanese food. John made California rolls and salmon sushi, as well as grilled teriyaki chicken and salmon. Bre had all kinds of great Japanese chopsticks and dishes. It was beautiful and delicious! We followed it up by watching anime (something we had never done before, but really enjoyed!) and eating ice cream sundaes. It was a really fun night for a very special person. Happy Birthday Bre, we love you!
Looks like we will have fresh tomatoes soon!
We just returned from the boys six month checkup in Phoenix. For the first time in a VERY long time neither boys' scans showed any changes. The doctor also agreed that we could move forward with starting them on the medication that I told you all about in the past. Hopefully, that will happen within a couple of weeks, and then we can sit back and enjoy the summer!
Heading down the path 
Whoo...that was hard work! Will learns to drink from the camel back.
We biked as far as we could...but not as far as I would have hoped! Then we put the bikes aside and hiked.
Will pooped out!

He was sleeping so hard that a bubble of drool formed on his mouth!
After our hike we headed into Sedona to look at the art galleries. We saw an amazing sculptor working on one of his bronzes as well as Native American musicians and hoop dancers. My pictures of this somehow disappeared from the post, and I can't figure out where they went. But take my word for it, it was wonderful! After that we headed back to Flagstaff and went to confession and then Mass. It was a perfectly beautiful and peaceful day. I hope your weekend is going just as well!
