I’m Back!

Sorry Grandmas for the absence!  We had some friends visit this weekend and really enjoyed seeing them.  As soon as my friend got here I made her go to Costco with me to pick up my very first (but definitely not last) photo book!  It turned out so cute!

Costco’s site is very limited in what you can do but Snapfish is so much more expensive.  Anyone know any other affordable choices?

Our cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen and the boys LOVE them.

So I’m thinking we overplanted our little straw bales!

2010-07-19_013Our neighbors are digging a basement (that’s what Ryan’s doing above as well) and then a new house on top.  I haven’t trimmed this bush because it totally blocks the view from my kitchen window and is so much more attractive than across the street.

At Ryan’s graduation his teachers and I were talking about all of our bruises and dings from working in the classroom and I mentioned how I always hit my hand and knuckles on my dryer drawer when I toss laundry from the other side of the room into the dryer.  I told them how I wished the door was on the other side so it wasn’t in the way.  I could tell from the look in their eyes that I was the only person, maybe in the whole world, that didn’t know that you can switch the door to the other side.  (Oh, other than the previous owners that is.)  Well I’m not one to let a little pride get in the way of a safer laundry experience so I finally got Harv to make the switcheroo and I have total laundry bliss now.
