Camp continues, Sadie has a birthday.
Abe the dude
Maya is looking thinner. And buff. She does not need to lose any weight. She is building up her body.
Maya loves, LOVES camp. We talked to her and she said she had a great day. She sounds so good.
We drove to NJ and had a visit. We went to a baseball game at the professional stadium in Newark and watched Holden play an exhibition game. His team came in second in his division. They were playing great and had a winning season until the last few games and lost IT. The same thing happened last year.
Pitching a game. He has a good arm.
I had a good time playing with Adley. She is in her terrible twos. She got moody and now only wants her mother. But I still had her alone.
She loves her party dresses. She was wearing her pink fluffy dress the first day. Her green velvet the next. And someone gave her a flower girl dress and that will be a regular also. This girl does not wear plain pants and a top. We go to a rustic resort in two weeks. I wonder if she knows that will not be good outfits to walk in the woods on hikes. She loves art projects.
Nathan is back from overnight camp. It was grandma and mommy camp for his last week. He had his first guitar lesson and the teacher said he did great.
I took him to the Carnegie Science Center with Nancy Joseph's twin grandsons. Nancy's twin sister came along for the day, Barbara Wolfe. Nathan is one year older and was kind and busy showing them everything.
Élan and Sam Joseph
He is building on the earthquake board. It starts to shake and you see if your building can take the movement.
I then took his to the water steps between the two stadiums. There were many people.
Laura had a day with him. They went to the Point, incline ride and subway.
This is on Mount Washington after the incline up.
Sadie is eight years now. We drove from NJ to MD and arrived in time for dinner , Subway, and the lighting of the cake, Wegman's. She had a dance party. There was a women to teach them to do a dance routine. Very cute.
The actual day of her birthday, July 25.
The birthday girl all dressed from the store, Justice, her favorite place to shop.
Sweet Emma
Opening ALL the presents.
Final photo before we left in the AM. They are ready to go to camp.

We have a new relative in the family.
Eva Joyce Pearl, daughter of Andrew and Elizabeth Pearl. Born July 26, 2013. 6 pounds 9 ounces, with a full head of dark hair. She is my great niece and I figure the last baby from this generation.
First day
Sister Joyce
Daddy Andy
I visited her on day four and held and held her. And fed her and kissed her. She has perfect ears, black silky hair and my little thin LIPS.
Sadie went to her first concert. And loved it. Victoria Justice and I have no idea what she sings. Jim and Ellen had a date night. They did the Segway all around the Washington DC monuments.
The Kaplans went to Kennywood for a day with Stu's work. They all wore the same TStirt.
It was two years on 7/11 that we Gotcha Adley, Claire, and Lelia,
This is Claire. She is a perfect fit for her family.

The boys are home from camp.
Look how healthy, happy and clean they seem. I have missed them. But I believe in the overnight camp experience for all children. They grow up without the parents around. No TV, iPad or video games. Just outdoor playing with kids. Somewhat healthy foods and camp fires.
Nathan got a little too much sun. He looks toasty. Abe is getting a hair cut tomorrow. He thinks the hair is too long. He is going back to camp on Sunday for three more weeks. He is a lucky boy. What a great summer.
Lunch was at Pamela's and we ate their famous pancakes. The boys had chocolate chip pancakes with bananas inside. Nathan was so tired that he was talking in 1/2 time and moving slow. This is the place that the Obamas love to eat at when they come to Pittsburgh. They even had them come to the White House and make them for 200 people about two years ago. One of the owners got a phone call while she was driving the car on her cellphone. She thought it was a prank call and hung up on the people from the White House. The person phoned back and Pamela had to pull to the side of the road. She was in such shock.
The boys and all the campers get off the buses in new TShirts. So they are clean looking.
Look at Stu in his suit. It is 92 degrees. HOT! He left work in downtown, to see his boys come home from camp. He ate lunch with us and went back to work. Nathan just getting off the bus. If you have two kids coming home, you need two people to meet them. One for each bus/ kid. There were nine buses. One boy on Nathan's bus was crying because he could not find his mom. I had been talking with her before, and assured him she was looking for him. We called her on the cellphone and she came running. She was getting another daughter off the different bus. It is such a sight seeing all the kids coming home. I remember when I was their age and I took a bus to Camp Wingfoot and home on the bus. I think there were three buses from Pittsburgh for the girls camp. I went for eight weeks and loved it. I went to camp from the age of seven to sixteen, for eight weeks each summer. The first year I went to camp, my parents went to Europe for six weeks. Do you understand the reason I was sent to camp? I was the youngest of three daughters. We were all at camp for eight weeks. I was send to the junior camp,Wing R Roo. It was for kids from age 4-10. And I know a boy that went there at age four. Can you imagine that? I think seven is too young for eight weeks. It was on Lake Erie and today is a park. The buildings / cabins, pool, and meal building are still there.
Tomorrow we are going to Burggr for lunch. As Abe needs his red meat. And dinner is lamb chops, salad, corn on the cob on Sat. Night. Fruit and ice cream, kondikes for dessert. After dinner there was a game of basketball. Mollie was playing and the girl can scream. All Abe thinks and does is basketball. Then the men watched a basketball movie and the girls played on their NEW Kindle. Tomorrow Abe goes back to camp for the final three weeks.
Mollie throwing the ball.
Nathan is using the ITouch. They are watching a basketball movie.
Abe got taller and is all legs. Look at his basketball socks. He owns ten pairs in all different colors. He keeps them in a special basket.
The girls play with the IPad.
