A busy day, with mowing, smoking, staking, moving, shaking — a busy June beginning in preparation for a long-delayed first-birthday party for the Boy. It coincides with Dzien Dziecka, a holiday missing from the American calendar, so we’ll be having a laughter-filled party (We have Mother’s and Father’s Day? Why do we leave the children out?)

But there was no time for pictures today. And so we have the mix-and-match: pictures from yesterday (L’s kindergarten awards day) and a few words about today.
