At the river behind Andrew's office

This pic sums up my everyday life: poop in one hand - and most likely the other . . .

Summertime

Just chillin' with moms cookies and milk (and my perma-sunglasses).

Hunter's neighborhood friend, Scottie - just hangin' out with Eva on the kitchen floor (as usual).

Hunter and Scottie swimming at the Y.

South Fork cabin (not one of our greatest vacation successes . . .but, Andrew did get to change a flat tire on a dirt road, on the edge of a very steep mountain, on a hot day, coming from some hot springs. Yeah . . .you get the picture. I had the kids set up their camp chairs on the side of the road - did they sit in them? No.

Connor - just busy entertaining the YW of course . . .

4th of July

see my "count your blessings" plate -- yes, I intentionally put it right up in front of "my two blessings". . .

Connor and Hunter in a Corvette - life is good!

Daddy's fireworks at home - pretty good stuff (and all legal).

Connor can't stand when other kids are in his way up to the slides - he just plows over them.

4th of July

For the past few years we've taken the kids out to the small old-town of Melba for the parade, food, and rides. The kids love it and this year we met an elderly man who made the most beautiful hand-made wooden trains (so of course, Andrew bought two of them right away). Connor is still obsessed with trains of all types . . . also, Connor shaved his own head after I finished what was a pretty decent haircut. So . . .it took most of the summer to come back in. Thankfully, the hair was back in time for Mark's wedding.

Another day at the park

How many times have we been on this train now??

The Call Clan

Mom and Dad are going to pick up Nate from Tokyo this coming Spring! We're
