• It's official!  Dmitry's turned 15 years old.  His birthday
  finally arrived, and I don't know which of us was the more
  relieved....him or me.  ("Mom, can you buy me some patience???")

  This afternoon after school we drove over and collected the Waybourns
  so they could hit the diving boards again.  Isn't it just the
  way?  Let it be the tail end of summer and NOW I discover the
  tables under the ceiling fans.   
  Much more pleasant.  It's been frightfully muggy today.  They
  had a terrific time, then we came home and three of them played a PS2
  game (some sort of Star Wars thing) in the living room, while Joe chose
  to stay in Dmitry's room and listen to CD's on his new stereo system.

  

  I went to get pizzas, which took a loooong
  time, due to their having been finished but no-one bothered to tell me
  until I ahem-ed about it, then it turned out one was totally messed
  up.  Should have been pepperoni all over with mushrooms on half .
  . . what it was was cheese on one side and pepperoni and jalapenos on
  the other. 

  However, the correct pizza was forthcoming with the erroneous one added
  at no charge, so it all worked out (except Joe learned he really,
  really does not like jalapeno).  All three were nearly polished off.

  After supper the boys went outside to play with Dmitry's pellet gun for a bit, then their mother came to get them. 

  

  Dmitry says he had a great birthday. 

  Can you believe he's already fifteen years old?  He was twelve when we began the adoption process!
