Hello out there

Okay, I know, jeez. Get off my back already. (OK, actually, no one has bugged me about this, I was just feeling guilty.)

Recent stuff:

Emma turned 6 on June 26th. The following weekend we had a party, which was, in my utterly biased opinion, a smashing success. Again, Megan was responsible for photography. At this rate, she may as well just start blogging for me on her site....

It was a "gardening" party. Each kid got to pot a plant to take home. The girls were delighted.

They worked hard at this fun and not-surprisingly messy task.

Dex brought over a spoon. He thought it was an intriguing snack. (That is his "I think I just ate a non-food item" face. We see that one alot.)

Winner of the favorite gift award went to my mom, who got her this snorkeling set she had asked for, complete with creepy plastic face in the package. (I know- we live in a landlocked area. Let her have her little dreams. The bathtub is full of water, anyway...)

Hooray for the genius at walmart who turned the cake upside down before enscribing it. That soccer ball is now floating in a lovely green grass sky.

We also recently went to Dallas to visit Michelle and Jacob, but I only have a couple of pictures. Most were taken on mom's camera. (Would like to have pictures of that anytime now, mom. Pleasethankyou.) It was as fun as a trip with small children can be. More pictures when I have some.
