My parents are back home from their visit here and Memphis. We really enjoyed seeing them, but it was crazy with two jobs, three kids and a dog and it seems like we hardly got to see them at all. And somehow, the week got away from me and I hardly took any pictures! Disappointed!
Claudia'a presently in Texas with Cutter and Co. and from what I understand, she's having an absolute blast. So far, that I know of, they've done the safari thing in the car (a zebra put his entire mouth around one of her hands when she tried to feed him and that was deemed "COOL"!!), they went to the San Antonio Zoo, which is an awesome zoo, did a day trip to Houston and spent the day and into the night at Schlitterbahn, which is a mucho primo water park. We go to pick her up from the Chicago airport on Sunday. I so Can't Wait! Our house is very weird without Claudia.
Jordan and Sam have been having a really fun time with our babysitter this week. She's been taking them to the library, fixing picnic lunches, baking cookies and playing all sorts of games with them.
In other news, Jamie and I are leaning towards supporting Hillary. Yes, it's true. We liked her answers in the last debate better than Obama's and Jamie pointed out that she looks more fetching in pink than Obama does.
Cool thing: Google Earth. We're spying on you!!!
I'm organizing our main livingroom bookshelf by color like this one:
We have a pretty relaxing weekend planned. Jamie and I were invited to a pool party tomorrow by some new people we've met, but we had babysitter issues and some other stuff, so we won't be going. Too bad, because we like the people a lot.
And here are some miscellaneous photos of lately:
Sammy on her tennis award day.
Floating candle Jordan made for us. It was very cool, she had the idea and did it all herself and surprised us with it. It has some pretty marbles at the bottom.
I have about zero experience growing things from seeds, but I'm so excited because this summer I've had pretty phenominal success. The gourds are going like gangbusters. Times like this I wish I could do time lapse photography.
Picking the girls up at camp.

Oooh... I love the bookshelf idea, but I'm afraid my husband would kill me if things weren't alphebetized and separated first by fiction/nonfiction and then by size. I'm surprised he hasn't started using the dewey decimal system here...
