July 4th Independence Day Parade downtown:








Yep, that is Elvis serenading the crowd:


Dad with kids at the dentist. Considering last time Sophia totally refused to get on the dentist patient chair, she did wonderfully this time! Watching her brother:

Say ahh

Tammy cleaning Sophia's teeth...see how good she is!

of course we had to bribe her with letting her pick whatever she wanted from the treasure chest box...and she chose a ring:-)

Kostas spent three days at the Washtenaw County Rec Center camp



Oh no, Sophia is getting married already!!!


World Cup is over...Italy won in PKs! Now we have to wait 4 more years for the next WC in South Africa.

Next week Kostas has a "Chess and Thinking Games camp" in Ann Arbor and then Soccer Skills camp every day 6.30-8.30 pm in Ypsi, so no Taekwondo next week.

The subcontractor finally showed signs of life by calling us and insisting that he never said he will come back to finish almost two weeks ago...And he is black mailing us with not giving us our garage door opener back! And he called us from vacation, he obviously thought our garage door opener needed a vacation too. We told him to send us his bills for the unfinished work because we do not want his sorry ass to set foot in our house in his lifetime!

Looks like we will be planning a trip to Malaysia and Taiwan over Christmas in 2007 for Maggie and Simon's wedding.
