And Ally found a way of entertaining herself (and us) while the boys were gone. Daddy bought her some days of the week underwear (jummping the gun, I know!). I think here she has on Monday through Wednesday:

Yup, It's Still Summer!

We were beginning to wonder with the cool fall like weather we had all week. But summer came back Friday with avengence. i think yesterday was one of the hottest we've had all year. And since I have been too lazy to bring all the kids to Grampa's pool, outside activities have looked like this:

I did get a little nicer Friday when the sun went down so we decided to grab some food from Front Row and have a picnic at Swazey Park. Here's some pics:

To blog or not to blog...

that has been the question for a while. Well, today I choose to blog. If for noone else but myself. I like the idea of being able to look back a year from now and see what we were doing. Because, Lord knows I forget stuff! And I am not good about journaling on my scrapbook pages. And it is also for Kerrie who is now far, far away...sigh. She needs updates. So here it is...me new blog.
