School is out and so are Ross’s braces.  We’ve finished our “freshman” years at high and middle school respectively, and are looking forward to being “upperclassmen” when the fall term begins.

Our pool is now open for the summer and we have been making good use of it.  Granny’s dog Piggy also enjoys the pool.  She likes to drop her tennis ball into the pool and bark until someone retrieves it and throws it for her to chase after.
