Several of the boys came over last night for ping pong, darts, junk food, and good-byes. (l-r: Alex (Finland), Francesco (Italy), William (Rumford ;-), Sönke (Rumford), Travis (Rumford), Curtis (Rumford and next year The University of Maine), Jessie (Rumford), and Lukas (Poland).

We list the lasts. The final day of school, last school sandwiches, the final dinner (Sönke's choice: Chester Chicken)... and there's breakfast and belly rubs for Bailey and a visit from Connie and Ben. Sönke is packed in his ever-precise German way :-) and we leave for the airport in 2 hours. Of course, Sönke will be back on the 14th with his family, so that makes the parting a bit more tolerable. But, still. Our neighbors, Barbara and John Bartash (former Aunt & Uncle hosts in 1998 and 2004) are babysitting baby goats for their son Andrew. Last night, Connie brought the boys up to meet the little furballs. :-) Lukasz' host mom, Kelly, took the boys up to a lake near Rangeley for a goodbye trip that included bowling and the jump house. Here are photos from Kelly up at the lake. As I wrote to our Facebook friends: The Falcons visited their River Valley rivals in Dixfield for their next-to-the-last game of the year. William and Sönke both scored and both got hits as the Falcon team outlasted the Cougars for the win. It's funny to think they'd never seen a game before. Tomorrow, their athletic careers with the Falcons will end, and they'll begin packing their bags for home. Last week, Connie's play dominated her days and evenings. But on Saturday, she shot down to the baseball field to try and catch a few minutes of the game before her Saturday performance. Here's a post-game picture of Connie and her boys. It's one of my favorites.  I asked William if this were the first time that he and his twin brother Fred were separated at their birthdays: yes. It's also the first time that Mom & Dad, Marianne and Kenneth, have been away from their boys on their birthdays. Hang on, we say. They'll be home soon! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WILLIAM! We spent Monday afternoon touring Las Vegas after a 4.5 hour drive up from Newport Beach. The boys took a few photos during the walk. |
