Nice.

Tonight after dinner I ran out of the house to hurry off to the bank before it closed and to the grocery store. I am a compulsive teeth brusher and never leave the house without brushing my teeth. OK, almost never. I was in a rush so I opted for a piece of gum instead. When I got home and looked in the mirror, there was a huge piece of black pepper stuck right in between my front teeth. Guess I should have looked in the mirror before I left...

Where to begin?

I am having total writer's block of the "It has been so long...where do I even begin?" variety. What can I say - it has been difficult to find time in my schedule, what with eating every two hours and honestly, feeling like crap, among other things.

Let me just throw some stuff out there...


Jonny graduated from his program and his Mom, sister, and brother came out for that. It was so great to have them!



We had a ball going to the aquarium. Emma and Matthew loved playing with their cousins, Ruby and Lars.



And we caught a scuba diver cleaning the windows in the kelp forest...Except for the fact that you are scuba diving, don't you think that would be a monotonous job? That's a lot of glass to scrub. Emma and Lars were so excited when he waved to them.




And all the kids loved playing with Jonny's Mom - "Mimi" to her grandkids.
