Now that Annie is gone I can finally blog. She was just so demanding of my time. Play this with me, color this with me, watch me do this. Wait, that was my kids and their demands on Anne. I think we cured Anne of any desire to have children (I know, not possible)or a dog. It was so fun to have her all week and Peter this weekend. I just wish it had been better weather.

Barb and Adina, your birthday presents have been priceless. Here we are on another rainy day and Sadie and Jane are happily playing with the Dr. Suess lace up cards. We had better get some sunshine soon or we really will go crazy.

Funny Sadie story-again. The other day Sadie asks "Where's daddy? Oh, yeah. Eating chips and his green drink (he was upstairs on the computer)." Mtn. Dew and chips, a staple for dad around here.

Not much is happening today. I'm trying to get the house clean after neglecting the deep cleaning all last week. Mike tried to mow the lawn before it started to rain again but he bent a blade on a tree root and so we have 1/4 of the back yard mowed. That is one bad thing about having huge trees all over your back yard. I got another shelf cleaned out in my linen closet. I just keep clearing out random areas throughout the house. I don't want to move anything extra. We won't have the room.
Well I need to go fold some laundry (Buffy, you thought your life was unexciting) and mop the floors. Less than two months now, amazing. Brooke
p.s. Kenn, good luck with your plan. I'm sure it will work.
