Puppies.... and some other stuff

We've been busy, busy with puppies

and projects.

Lu is working on a research project

about the Ancient Maya,

and making great progress despite

the computer room also being a puppy nursery.

A friend recently brought us Momo by Michael Ende

(author of Never Ending Story)

Lu is loving this book! 

It's about an orphan girl who lives in an abandoned park,

something about "the men in gray",

and a weird street where time warps...

I haven't actually read the book, but Lu's been

telling me all about it and it sounds pretty trippy.

 This coming week is our last before a three week break.

Which fits perfectly with the puppies just starting

to become a handful.

The river was running strong,

so we went out to build our annual dam

for a swim hole.

 Lu's been doing "Circuit Training" for P.E.

We come up with a 3-minute circuit

and he goes through it as many times as he can.

(and there's a window from our bedroom

to the dance studio because... 

it seemed like a good idea when we were building?)

The puppies had their first outing

into the yard the other day,

and felt sunshine for the first time!
