I was trying to get a picture of Nate, Boris and myself but it wasn't working..this was the first try, but I actually just really like this shot. Which I very rarely say about pictures of me.

7 days, day 6, me and my hubby.

This picture was taken on the plane ride home from Disney last fall, and my SIL framed it for us for Christmas. It sits on our kitchen counter, just a small reminder :) I'm also lightly reflected in the glass :)

It's even hotter, and tomorrow is supposed to be record breaking. One of my favorite meals to make when it's too hot to cook is this one, completely cooked on the grill. Very little dishes, and the house stays cool. Loose interpretation of the theme...but there you go. I like to bend the rules sometimes :)

It was hot here today...and tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. But tonight, a strong thunderstorm went through and the temp fell 20 degrees. And yes, it looks like the tent is there for very small people, but it's covering the saw that we are using to work on our back deck.

When I opened my laptop on Christmas in 2008, I said "ooohhhh my shiny." And I still love it...:) Taken in my basement after a shower to wash off the stink of a bike ride in 90 degree weather. Now I'm ready for bed.

Day 2

We're heading home today, and today's 7 days theme was hot.



The weather was beautiful while we were at the beach, but whenever we called home they kept saying how hot it was (only an hour and a half away.) We were confused...until we started driving home. Suddenly we hit the wall of heat...oh my. But driving along with the top down and the sun shining was heavenly!

Summer 7 days, day 1

The summer run of 7 days began today, and I had to take advantage of the awesome scenery for my photo!



DDS and I were able to sneak away for a weekend at the beach tied to a marriage retreat.  It was relaxing, and the weather was gorgeous.  I spent some down time sitting on the balcony enjoying the sights and sounds of the beach below.

This week, I've been busy...

Working...working, and working.  It's the end of our fiscal year and I'm swamped.

Painting, painting, and painting.  We are sprucing up our deck and screened porch, and it's been non-stop painting the last few nights.  Hopefully tomorrow we'll be finishing up.

Hanging at the beach.  Last Sunday was a gorgeous day of sun and sand.

Checking out the animals at the local zoo with first graders.  It was sweltering hot, but they were so cute!
