Blau kids hanging with the Lemire boys

Look serious.
You are the champions.
One of these things is not like the others.
One of these things is not the same.
I don’t know about the two in the front. But the Blau kids are prepping for the zombie apocalypse.
Show me goofy.
Be adorable. Or, ya’know, do what you’re doing that’s good too.

Ivan loved playing with Zev and Esben. Turns out they like many of the same things and are all quite good at playing Risk and Llamas Unleashed. They also enjoyed some backyard baseball and talking about Plants vs. Zombies.

This was supposed to be a photo of Ezri. Photo bomber!
Sibling love is special.
“Quick take a photo. I’ll hold Ivan here,” said Ezri.
SMILE!
Ivan’s legs got tired and he asked his piggy for a piggyback ride. I’m surprised she said yes.

Karate Tournament

Ivan performed his form well and even introduced himself to the judges in a voice they could hear. Ivan then had a break down when he realized he wouldn’t make top three in his division in forms and it took him a long while to calm down. On the whole, the tournament was good and Ivan is already talking about going next year which is a win in my book! Proud of the kid though he needs work on losing with grace.
