our boring summer…
not much exciting happening over here. we’ve had the girls a lot, which limits our ability to get out and about. and drains us for our days off, so that we wind up just lounging around a lot. needless to say, our to do list hasn’t even been dented. here’s some noteworthy (sort of) pictures […]
visiting leslie and co.
so. for the last leg of our trip, we went out to leslie’s new house in angola. it’s about an hour into the trip home, so it’s nice to have a little jump start when we get on the road. packing a day early and having to run to the car 5000 times for something […]
summer in batavia. part 2.
despite a very rain-filled forecast, the fourth of july was sunny and great and my parents threw a big party full of lake people and relatives. it was a lot of people to squeeze on even their massive deck. (this is about half of the crowd). grape pop. at the kiddie table. terry’s niece and […]

playing with food. angry birds style.

the week in review…
we had a pretty uneventful week this week. we started off with memorial day, as did the rest of the country, i suppose. derek made a bucket of guacamole and we headed over to our pals the p-salls for a little cookout. the buddies. derek took this picture of his burger, and thanks to apple’s […]
krispy kreme valentines
