Erster Schultag und letzte Sommertage

Summer is coming to the end.  That means

• Open House at school and meeting the teachers
• First day of school
• Fußball
• Last days to run around in t-shirt

First Day of School 2015

Black Walnut

For future reference:

Playing with walnuts gets your hand black.  For a while.  About a week.

Summer in Massachusetts

We tried to escape our bizarre summer 2015 in Washington DC: First the second wettest June since the Potato War and then the typical DC HHH - hazy, hot and humid.

So we ventured all five of us up to Grandpa's a week after Max' birthday.

Papa went back to Washington two days later to get some work done.  Two weeks later he flew back up and we spent a week at the beach house.  We had a lot of ice cream and fun treats at Grandpa's.

On January 22, 2015 Max had the - so far - longest day of his life.  At drop at 8:50 he ran over to his friends at ESSE, slipped on water, landed on his knee and an ordeal began: nurse at school, pediatrician, x-ray, orthopedic surgeon 1, orthopedic surgeon 2 until it was clear by 5 pm that he will need to have surgery.

Here are 5 weeks in pictures, starting with the weekend before said January 22.
