Lillian and her Uncle Paul

Breakfast with Yia-Yia

 

After Lillian’s Yia-Yia and ePa got to spend a few days relaxing at the beach (including an exciting day at the doctor where Yia-Yia found out she had strep throat), Lillian brought her Yia-Yia up to date on the various goings-on while they were away. Lillian’s uncle Paul and aunt Nina and cousin Samuli, visiting from Finland, made Yia-Yia and ePa’s trip possible and Lillian got to hang out with them. She particularly enjoyed the company of her aunt Nina, who, Lillian will explain to you, is a girl, not a boy.

Making Rocket Ships

Lillian built this rocket at her summer day camp today (it’s space week). There’s flame shooting from the bottom, but it does not remain airborne for long, despite many vigorous launches. A number of those launches end by crashing into Lillian’s ePa.

Lillian continues swimming lessons, and floated on her back this week without her instructor’s support — until she realized that her teacher had let go!

Lillian wishes all of her many friends a Happy Midsummer’s Eve!
