more photos by kai

(see the train above?)

besides taking pictures, kai has been super busy brushing his teeth. yep. he and andy bought identical electric toothbrushes on saturday. all charged up, and ready to go (finally) kai started brushing sunday morning. all day yesterday and today, switching the attachments: brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning. the charge is suppose to last 2 weeks. his died after one and a half days. so now he's on to andy's. hilarious!

happy sunday!

not much to say today

i swear i let her out. she was the one who shut the door.


have a great weekend.

we're back

i could say we're unpacking, doing laundry, etc etc. but not really. i like the unpacked bags to sit around for a bit. there are piles of clothes every where. really, between switching over to cooler weather clothes, organizing the kid's too small clothes, catching up with the before-we-left laundry and the now added back-from-vacation clothes. it never ends, does it?

here are some pictures from our trip to virginia.



kai very much enjoyed two seats to himself. when the flight attendant was starting the drink rounds i asked him what he wanted. he replied "i'm not going to tell you, i'll tell her myself what i want." love that.

blue skies

that's what it's been around here this week, along with 70 degree weather. heaven. so, after a long summer hibernation kai and daddy cleaned out the hot tub. ready for lots of fall and winter use. today was the first dip. the babes are thrilled.

i won't be writing for another week or so. me and the kids are headed to virginia. i have my 20 year school reunion next weekend - yipes!
