bilingual??

J is just full of wisdom and insight. The other day he was telling me something about being in big "doo doo" . I was surprised he knew that word and so I asked him what it meant. In his duh mom tone of voice he informed me that it means "trouble...in Spanish."

Today's conversation...

Douglas was driving J home from church and they saw a man in his front yard in street clothes. This was the conversation...

J-"He already got home from church and changed."

D-"He might not have gone to church."

J-"Lucky."

Cute kids

I have tried to plan activities while D has been away and one of the days we went to the cabin to have fun with Steph and Tara and their kids. We went out to take pics of the kids. It was kinda crazy with 10 kids and 3 adults! We stayed really late and then headed home around 10:45pm. Paige puked on the way down the mountain which was delightful. It was kind of creapy to pull over in the middle of the pitch black no where and try to clean it up. She of course was still up at 7am the next day while J slept until 10:15am. Wouldn't it have been dreamy if they had both done that?

Dear Douglas,

I really need you to come home from scout camp now. Three late nights which will be six by the time you get home are going to do me in. I know, I know, I should just go to bed, but what it the point when it is empty (and I get kinda scared when I am alone)??

Oh, I miss you a lot too. I am definitely not as funny when you aren't around to laugh at my jokes.

xoxo...your adoring wife.

A little update...

It has been a busy, HOT summer and I am so far behind in my blogging. Here are a few of the highlights of the past two months. Some pictures will follow...

Went to Guatemala with Douglas and had a fabulous time with my parents and Uncle and cousin. My parents will be there until the end of the year so we really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. We saw some amazing stuff...Guatemala Cite, Quirigua, Tikal, Rio Dulce, Livingston (a little Carribean town) and Antigua. I got to brush up on my rusty Spanish and we thoroughly enjoyed being childless.

D turned 31.

Potty trained Paige...still wondering why...I now have seen the inside of every local that we have patronized in the past two months.

Swimming lessons.

Jackson's musical theatre camp...so cute.

Family here in town for the fourth.

My brother in law's wedding in Cali and getting to see all of Douglas' family.

And a whole lotta summer fun.

Here are a few pictures for the grandmas.
