Uncle Dan, my father's youngest brother, came to visit us. It's been a long time so it was great to see him.
Welcoming Uncle Dan to the house.
We went out to a nearby field to try flying Apah and Uncle Dan's Quadcopters

I think this is a P-47 Thunderbolt

I recently got out of the stone age and purchased a smart phone. I used it to document a typical day at Church. Usually after Mass, with the exception of a couple of the larger Catholic clans, most of native-born Catholics leave. However, the Filipinos and their native-born children tend to hang around for awhile afterwards, which makes for a lot of post-Mass fun.
The Church itself: Our Lady of Lourdes
Our friend Melanie getting ready to take a picture with John running to join.
Hey, John doesn't have bunny ears!
The Filipinos congregating together with David and John playing in front.
Children playing after Mass, a wholesome and pure image that makes life so pleasurable.
By some coincidence, the 300th post of this blog falls on Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! In celebration of the day, here are some pictures from our Father's Day lunch at Wendy's with the people who made possible my fatherhood!
The boys and I.
Arlene with David, and John, who is looking with admiration towards his brother.
I'm a bit behind on posting pictures on the blog so this post will have a lot different pictures from different times.
John is really into puzzles now. He also likes building "churches" (the blocks in the back). He and David like playing with magnetic blocks (what he is holding in his hands)
Amah watching John.
David showing off his A honor roll trophy.
We went figure skating. David got two holes in one--not bad for a first time. Here is one of of those two holes.
Here is the other whole.
David and John learning the game.
Arlene, John, me, and David. I was fortunate enough to be given the Moore Award for excellence in gen-ed teaching (it's named after one of my colleagues, our philosopher, so I thought that was really cool).
John using a lot of my old toys to guard another church.
Apah and John feeding ducks. They come to visit us at our house frequently.
I bought a little cardboard model house kit while I was in Korea awhile back and finally got around to doing it with the boys. John punched out the pieces and David put them together.
The finished product
John and I at the Museum. We went through and made a complete circle of the tracks.
Living history day at 96. David playing the cup and ball game.
David playing nine pins.

John and David playing with wooden guns.
David with one of the re-enactors. I was really impressed with these young ladies. They played very well with the boys and were very patient.
Lunch at Hardees after running around the park. David is wearing his Kung Fu Panda mask.
