We are really enjoying this - every time we check the blog, there is something new to read!

T 'n T: Parker was thrilled to get his card...he ran around the house with those bills in his little clutches shouting, "I got dollars! I got dollars!" Quite happy. Thanks.

Mike & Brooke: I imagine your schedule is filling up with people who want to see you and do things with you when you get here. Just leave a night open for us - we really do want to go to dinner. Adults only, of course. :) My Mom is visiting from the 9th to the 16th - then we (kids & I) take off for the Bay Area til the 22nd or so. When do you go back? Let's find a good night and pencil it in...

For anyone out there with advice: Morgan has recently become afraid of sleeping in her room. Even with the light on. She always ends up in our bed at some point during the night. We love her dearly, but I've never seen a kid sleep so spread out like she does. We always end up with a foot or elbow in the back, or awake to a slap in the face as she moves around. Not to mention, I don't want her to be afraid of her room. Any advice?!

Now to begin our day...more rain in the forcast, of course. Still love it here. That says a lot, I think. Hope everyone has a great day!
