Finally getting my act together

Along with not having a battery recharger for my camera, Blogspot has been giving me grief through my work computer, so I've been thwarted in posting even the little bit I have to say. But I think I have it worked out now, or at least for the moment.

We've just been moving through our days, which seem to be going by very quickly (September - was that you?). I have purposely not scheduled very many regular events on the weekends so we can take advantage of important activities that come up, like birthday parties and beer tastings (you be the judge of who goes to which of those), and to just relax. Reece has T-ball on Saturday mornings, but they've only met for half the scheduled weeks so far due to all the rain we've had. And Sunday school has started, so our Sunday mornings are busy. Otherwise, we're just hanging out and doing what needs to be done, as can be seen from the following pictures.

Running errands and trying on cool hats

(I think he was a 1920's gangster in his former life.)

Trying not to get carsick on the trip to or from the cousins' house.

 Eating in front of the TV when dad is working late.

 Reading in bed to whomever will listen.

Thanks, blog!

At last, all the time I spend posting here is paying off beyond just being able to look back and see what we did a year ago. Very good friends of ours from Dan's army days found us using this blog! They called us last weekend and we got to really catch up and say, for the millionth time, that we HAVE to get together in person some day soon. Unfortunately, that is less likely to happen soon, since they live in Oklahoma and have more children than we do (which just means that if we're finding it difficult to make that kind of trip, they are in triplicate). Ooh, wait, I'm thinking up a road trip for next summer! I'm sure driving all that way, just the two boys and I, will go very smoothly. Heh.
