How sad is it that I know all the words to all the songs on this list?
This was our first big home improvement project–painting and tiling the main bathroom. You can’t see it (and I won’t post the pictures of it because it’s gross), but we also got to replace the subfloor where it had rotted out around the toilet. This is why carpet in a bathroom is a bad idea.

K and L on their first day of school last week. L didn’t start going every day until yesterday. They both seem to love it so far. Maren and I love that they don’t start until 8:55 (last year K started at 7:30). I also love L’s pose in this picture. She’s all performer all the time.
For some reason, my email program thinks that I have 4.3 billion email messages in my inbox:
That’s a lot of mail even for me. The oldest email I have in my gmail account is dated 5/16/05. That works out to be 2,744,388 emails per day since that date to come up to the 4.3 billion number. I never knew I was so popular.

Notice how she’s leaning forward to try to get the horse to go faster.
While we’re in transition, we have been living downstairs from my brother’s family. K and L have certainly enjoyed having cousins just upstairs.
My friend Ben invited me to tag along while he took a group of scouts hiking in the Narrows in Zion National Park. It was awesome.
I guess you could call this a warning sign. Just like the security check at the airport, this ia not a place to joke around. Unlike the airport, this place will kill you instantly.
This hat was great. No sunburnt neck.
Twelve-foot falls
If you look closely, you can see a cute little pinon mouse in this pack. He was quite busy all night long relieving this pack of its cumbersome trail mix.
Big Springs. Isn’t it great?
