Pierce's Birthday Week

Last Sunday marked the beginning of Pierce's "birthday week" with Pierce opening his present from us (Lego Mindstorms). Then on Monday (his actual "birth day") there was a party in Pierce's class at school, and today we had a party with 10 of his friends at the Bowl-Rite Lanes in Union City, NJ. Click on the image below for more photos. A happy 8th birthday for Pierce indeed!

Pierce and Ben Sleep-Over

Pierce and Ben had a sleep-over at Mom and Dad's when we were visiting a couple of weeks ago. Pierce was excited enough by the novelty of it that it warranted mention in his first week of school's "What I Did On My Summer Vacation" report. Here's his drawn recollection of that night. Note the light entering through the ajar door and the dark night on the other side of the bedroom wall. Click on the image to enlarge.
