The end of another school year and, the beginning of a great summer!

What would be a post without the antics of our cats, eh?




MacGyver is renowned for finding the most uncomfortable places to sleep in (or freshly washed and folded laundry clothes) and making it his own. Every once in a while, we just have to get it on camera to prove its true.
Slippers, on the other hand, is renowned for looking for the most comfortable places, in the most hidden areas of the house, and sleeping with one eye open....just in case someone makes a sound.

We couldn't find her, so you will just have to believe us.


'I can't believe I ate the whole bag.....'

Julia has finished elementary school. She graduated from the 6th grade.... on to the 7th. It was wonderful to see her perform at the kevät juhla ( the closing ceremonies) with her dance club and, to hear her sing the closing song. Though she sang with the entire graduating class, her voice was heard loud and clear above the rest. We were all able to attend, even Jan, who chose not to go to soccer practice, just to be there. Julia is a very special young lady, with many special gifts. Good job, Julia!


Teemu has finished grade 1! He has come a long way, this little fellow, and has learned many new things. Teemu is so happy with himself, that the first year went so well! On to grade 2.....one small step for Pitskun Poppoo...one giant step for Teemu!

Kissat ja muut eläimet

Jan, Teemu ja Julia
Mac Gyver heräsi juuri päiväunilta olohuoneen lattialta ja oli menossa ruokakupille.Slippers loikoilee aulan maton päällä ja odottelee, kunnes joku lapsista ottaa sen mukaan nukkumaan.

We have been trying to upload pictures onto our advertisement for, the Home for Exchange website. We didn't use this one. Heheheh.....

Spring is here!

The trampoline has been one of the favorite attractions of our backyard.

The trampoline died

It has been used so much, it gave up the ghost. Siis, it died. Vaari will be fixing it soon, welding it and all that....Gramma will be buying a new one.
