I hear (on Facebook) that the Navy Seals paratroopers were going to be doing a practice jump at the Cougars stadium today...so, Cole and I ran over there and watched them.

Henry has decided that he's going to sleep on top of our microwave, even though that is where we 'store' piles of random stuff. He just pushes it all onto the floor & makes himself comfortable.

When the catgrass eventually died, I decided to plant some parsley in the planter that we got for Christmas. It's just starting to sprout now. I wonder if I'll be able to keep it growing.

Cole's Ipod took a ride in the washing machine a few days ago. We researched online and found out that if we let it dry out for at least 3 days in rice that it MAY work again. Today was day 3-it turned on but didn't sound quite right so we'll give it a few more days and try again.
