is what we’re having here, and we all needed it. I have to work a couple hours tonight, but that’s it for the whole entire day. Saturday and Sunday are each going to be twelve hours, plus showing houses in a snowstorm is not something I look forward to. But today, we’re soaking it up–the […]

Tonight I was working, so I told Kari to take some pictures of them cleaning up the back yard, so I wouldn’t miss everything. She obliged. After this, their dad took them on a bike ride, so that was good. Last night they were at a wedding–here are a couple cute pictures from that. Here
She was here, hanging out tonight. We laughed about a lot of things including how I vacuumed my toe while cleaning last week. Oh my GAWD that hurt–Oh, oh, the hopping and the hollering. It’s bruised, but after about half an hour it quit hurting so much. I was grateful there were no witnesses to

Not much to say, just a beautiful afternoon. They loved the animals and demonstrations, and complained the guy who ran the hayride told terrible jokes. I didn’t even know they knew what a terrible joke was, so I found that pretty funny. Oh well, a great day. love, Val

Superb? That one seems to work. Oh yeah, it was so laid back, happy, and good-natured, it was hard to return
Okay, way before the party on the patio, we met at the little pool for fun. We had supper, lots of hyper kids running around, dogs, racket…opened presents on the patio, but by time for cake, the mosquitoes drove us inside. l.c. is getting his eye teeth, so the nose runs. nevermind that. it’s the

It’s her birthday. She’s six today. Six years ago she was born in the middle of a summer night after we’d spent the day at the beach. Jay ran upstairs to get Heidi and Kirsten, who were home from college for the summer. They came downstairs to say hi to Julia. In the morning, when
It’s too hot today for anything, close to 100, humid as a jungle. We went to the pool again during the afternoon. It should be cooler tomorrow. After a while, I pitched a big lightweight plastic ball to them, and they took turns batting it with a kickboard. It’s a bit clunky, but still pretty
It’s been a good enough week, a few trips to the pool, a little time with friends, a little softball, lots of sunny days. Here we met up with b.g. and his other grandma at the pool again. He lights up when he sees the kids. It’s fun that he obviously recognizes them even in
