In fact, he said go ahead and graft from my multi-tree if I want to, he thinks the only problem is that it's a little too late in the season. 

No, no, no, it's not too late to graft apples. Here in Indiana I graft them up to mid June. Works fine. But maybe not budding.

Have your trees leafed out by then?

I decided to try grafting now, even though all of the wood I could take from one of the trees had small leaves.  As Dr. Cummins pointed out, if the grafts don't take, I can always try to bud the trees later this season.  It's supposed to be cool and overcast, with a high chance of rain for a few days, so I'm optimistic.
