No McKenzie This Summer

McKenzie is going to school for three months. Tonight McKenzie came over to say good-bye to us.

For a few days we have all been reading Nick a picture schedule. McKenzie read the schedule to Nick to remind him about his summer.

The schedule says McKenzie will go on an airplane to school in China. McKenzie will sleep at school for July, August and September.

Ms. Schneider from Nick's class will take care of Nick in July, August and September.

In October, McKenzie will come home.

Daddy and Nick made this picture card for McKenzie to take with her. It has a map with an arrow pointing to Long Beach!

McKenzie told mommy "I will Read About Nick so I can see all the pictures and stories that happen while I am away."

A Visit From Lauren

On Saturday, Nick had a big surprise. In the morning, when mommy took Nick to AHRC to play, mommy told Nick that when he came home Lauren was coming to visit!

When Nick came out of the house and saw Lauren he had a big smile on his face. Lauren was so surprised that Nick was so big - and she was also surprised that Nick has a deeper voice!

We all went to Billy's Beach Cafe for dinner. At first Nick was quiet but then he got silly and loud.


When we were done with dinner we went for ice cream.



Then we walked on the boardwalk.

Lauren talked about the times when she used to walk with little Nick on the boardwalk. Mommy looked on the computer and found one of those old pictures.

Mommy and Nick looked at the pictures the next day. Mommy said, "you are a lucky boy to have friends who love you so much."

Nick's Pool is Open!

Summer is here, and Nick's pool is finally open. Even though it was cold and rainy yesterday, Nick wanted to play in his pool.

Nick was very happy!

Silly Sunglasses

Last Friday, mommy came home from work but no one was home. Then Nick and McKenzie came home in the car. When they walked into the house they were wearing matching red, white and blue sunglasses!


Mommy thought they looked so funny together! McKenzie said "Yes, everywhere we went people were smiling at us!"
