Flowers
Jake and my mom are gone. But, they left behind some beautiful landscaping (including this flower box in our front “yard”)… Back to a nice quiet life — for two weeks, and then school starts again. 13 days, to be exact. Not that I’m counting.

Back to NC life
We are back. Truth is, we’ve been back. I was pretty sick this week (see blog entry: flu), and then we’ve been pretty busy trying to get back in order. NY was a lot of fun. Poor Jake was sick a lot of the time (and likely the reason I was sick). He started puking […]
