They combined to pull this one off:

Me: “After quiet time, we’ll get back in the pool.”

Ron: “With Grammy and Gram[p]y?”

Me: “Oh that would be fun, but they’re too far away to come.”

Jane: [with a measure of "those crazy grandparents" in her voice] “What, are they in Singapore again?”

Happy Birthday Ron!

Ron had fun on his birthday yesterday. He got to watch “Cars” – his favorite movie, his friends Hannah and Micah came over, and he got cake!

Blowing out the candles.That\'s a three on top, not an \'E\'.Post candles, the fingers broke through and checked the cake.Jane likes the icing.

The End of the Explorer

Friday, August 15th, 2008


A couple of weeks ago, we sold my explorer. I’d had it 15 years now, and it still ran well, but it was time to replace it. Rebecca didn’t trust it, and 15 years and 210,000 miles is pretty good for a car.

Since the Explorer was such a big part of our life (it was cold the day I proposed to Rebecca, so we climbed in the Explorer, and I proposed there), I thought we should take a family portrait in the back. So, I set up the camera and some flashes, and all six of us climbed in.

“Jane, I’m waiting on you.”

“I’m waiting on me, too!”
