I love this website called picnik! If you haven't tried it, you should. You can do some very cool things with your pictures!

Walking our bikes through the tunnel that goes underneath the railroad tracks, on our way to the middle school, to sign her up for summer orchestra.

When your battery runs out it's always nice to have a 2 year old around.

Happy Birthday Grandma! I can't help but think about her all day today! I wonder what she would have thought of me, as a wife and mom, and how she would feel about everyone else! Boy, I miss her!

Running out to our 'new' van, just after we paid for it.

Funny story...

We got our old van from our Dino Jump boss, Karyn. The bench seat in the old van is removable & was not attached when we got it from her 2 years ago. She could not find the bolts to hold it in place in her garage.

We checked with Ford dealers, conversion places - none of them could help us replace them, so we were never able to fit our whole family into that van at once. That's one of the reasons why we decided to buy this van, because it has room for everyone (and a couple more) when we go on a vacation.

Tonight, when we got home from buying the 'new' van, Karyn called.

Can you guess what she found in her garage? :-)

This makes me laugh - it is a place that sells tractors/lawn mowers, etc, but their lawn looks terrible!

I'm guessing that Sally dropped this gnocchi off at my house...Thanks.

Trying to decide whether we would fix the broken brakes on the van ourselves, or bring it over the hill to our mechanic.

Siblings winery trip...missing the brothers.

We test drove a used van today, even though the people who were there before us said that they were going to come back the next day to buy it. The guy who was selling it took our number, though, just in case they didn't show up.
