Who Else is Watching the Olympics?

J:  Mom, I've put some thought into this, and I think I need a Speedo.

From the Girl Who Can't Get Enough Junk Food

Me:  Daddy and I are really going to try to start eating healthier.

J:  I'm in.

Me:  You are?  That's good to hear.

E:  I'm not.

Priceless

After our fantastically fun Olympics party, Steve asked J if he had fun this weekend...

J:  Yes.  I'll never forget it.  I hope I can do this with my kids someday.

A response like that is worth every second of time and every penny in the world.

Hey, are you looking for us?

Our summer schedule has kept us so b.u.s.y.  Sometimes we don't even know if we're coming or going.  Hopefully we'll have a chance to catch up here soon, but for the time being we can slow down just enough for you to catch a glimpse. 

A Letter to My Love

Dear Summer,

I'm not sure how to go about saying this, but we've got to clear the air between us.  You know that I love you.  I love pretty much everything about you.  But there's something that's really bothering me, and you need to know about it.  You're moving a little too fast for me, and I don't like it.  I just want to take it easy, but you keep piling on the pressure by rushing things.  So if you could just slow down a little bit, I'd feel so much better about us.  I promise.

With love,

Katie

Don't Mind Us...

we're just going to stand around and pout for a bit because our glorious vacation is now over.

Ten Years

Ten years ago I made the best decision of my life...absolutely the best decision ever.

Happy anniversary, Steve. I love you lots and lots!

Passion

Steve:  Do you want to watch Soul Surfer?

E:  No.

Steve:  Why not?  I thought surfing was your passion.

E:  No, taking care of babies is my passion.
