From Nathan: This is a erector set pumper truck that I built. It took me half of yesterday and I finished this morning. It started out as a ladder and water truck, but the ladder was too difficult to get on, so now it's a pumper truck!

Norah is 9 months old.
The hairbow lasted about 5 minutes after the pictures were taken;
the outfit, about an hour. :)

Nathan's candy creation for our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory bookclub tomorrow. They are made of marshmallow and dye (yum! lol), and are shaped like a bunch of different globs.

We went to the Home Show yesterday . . .

My super-fantastic new bamboo towels.

The hammock chair that is technically supposed to be Karl's Father's Day present.
Nathan putting for charity . . . what a pro!

A better picture of the doves. One of the babies had already flown away and, this morning, the nest is empty.
Sadie, happy and tired after playing ball (but still ready for more!).

First pea harvest from our container garden.
Baby doves in my (nearly dead) plant on the patio. They fly away in just enough time for me to save the plant every year. Not a very good picture, but the poor mama was already upset at me for taking this one from inside the patio door.

Norah's first day in the pool. She loves it! Notice how she's covering up the word "school" on her floatie boat . . . that's my shiny girl! :)

Grandma and Grandpa bought Nathan this typewriter for his collection. It's from the 1920's and belonged to the same family all these years. It no longer works, but Nathan is having a great time studying it and trying to decide if we can refurbish it.

These are our pictures from May 28th . . . I forgot about them, so now they're out of order! I think we're finally caught up with ourselves now. :)
Norah is eight months old!
Our pick for bookclub this month.

Norah's getting the hang of this eating business!

The pool is finally up, but it's still a little chilly despite the warm weather!




Nathan's choice--June 2, 2008

Happy baby, happy face.
"Jailhouse Rock!"

A fish in the aquarium at the restaurant where we ate dinner. Nathan says, "That's the strangest looking fish I've ever seen!"
