Olivia's Favorite Dessert - Lollipops
Olivia loves chomping on lollipops anytime during the day, but we try and keep her consumption of such in a controlled environment. It can get messy. Here is a series of pictures of Olivia enjoying a lollipop:

Kindergarten Open House
Sunny Hills Elementary held an open house this evening and invited all prospective kindergartners to attend. I was able to attend with Berkeley. While there, we saw quite a few kids that Berkeley knows... from preschool or from Church.

Berkeley met his teacher he will have next year, Mrs. Weber. Mrs. Weber took us (and some of Berkeley's classmates) on a tour of the school with stops at the music room, the gymnasium, the cafeteria, the library, Berkeley's classroom, and the playground. Berkeley's favorite part was the playground. His second favorite was the library. But he had fun the whole time. He is pretty excited about the prospect of attending elementary school.

Home Renovation Project: Attic Conversion: Plans Submitted
We were able to get the last set of revisions to our plans turned around pretty quickly from our designer. We took the plans to the City today to submit them for review. We were told that it should take about 4-6 weeks to complete the review and issue the building permit - that is, if there are no problems. Of course, the sooner the better. The dry months of July, August, and September are right around the corner.

The three persons that briefly went over the plans today with us said they look very well organized and complete. I hope that works in our favor. One small item that they brought to our attention is that the 35' height restriction is measured against the average grade at the midpoints of each wall section of the house. Looks like we will want to build up the flower beds around the perimeter of the house... just to be on the safe side.
