One of these things is not like the others

But, they let me take photos with them anyway, they're so gracious, and cute! :)

Oh the places these three are going. What a joy :)

Ack! Heartwarming!

E = MC Squared

That's what I thought when I wrote out Ethan Michael's initials on his little welcome-to-the-planet card.

Melissa had her baby, so Peter and I gave them a week, and then we pounced. Must snuzz the new baby! and it was a delight! He tucked his little legs up, squeaked, and zonked out, just like every little newborn should when they meet their Auntie and Uncle! :)

Melissa and Aaron have been such sweet friends, if they're even half as good as parents they'll be just fine :)

Fire it up!

We needed to burn off a lot of little twigs and ickity yard stuff, so we did. We also invited some friends to join in. And it was all done with s'mores on hand so that we stay within the laws of good ol' GR. :)

Selfie is a mustie

The girls were a bit zonked from the day's activities

The adult boys were in fine form...as usual.

S'more off. Who can toast the most excellent mallow???

Learn to use an axe. Perfect summertime boy stuff.

First fire of the season, a bit late, but a success!

The aftermath of War

I never meant for Senor Squirrel or any of his fleabag friends to perish. And, mind you, he was nowhere near the feeder, things certainly could not have been connected any way. If you havent read lately, scroll down two posts, or click here. 

I almost feel bad.

I have to say, he does look like he went in grand, almost Supermanish style!

Happy Wedding Meghan and Matt

Congratulations to Peter's cousin Matt and his lovely bride Meghan! We enjoyed our time celebrating with them, and catching up with other family too! Plus, they had fantastic cake and local doughnuts that I may have indulged heavily in. So, basically, all my wedding-going dreams came true :)

Plus, this was the first time I havent had to rise to my feet and hit the dance floor when the dj played 'All the Single Ladies'...not that I wouldnt have liked the beautiful hydrangea bouquet that was tossed!

The best part about working from home

No, not my fuzzy co-workers, nor being able to throw a load of laundry in, not even baking cookies on lunch. No. It's being able to effectively wage war. War on squirrels.

She stayed with me all day, even attempting to nap on a folding chair.

The war is on. I'll fill the feeder, the one I'm trying to use to attract beautiful cardinals and chickadees with, leave for work and when I come home it's been pillaged! He's even knocked off the tray on the bottom.  ugh. But today I was home.

First, I noticed him on the feeder, so I sprayed the pole with Pam! Now when he tries to use it he swirls down it like a fireman on his fire pole. Next, he got brave and started leaping, but I saw that too, so I moved the pole. The best part? I managed to catch it all on video. Blingo!

Game on Senor Squirrel. Tell your buddies too.

Gavin!

Girlfriends reliving their glory college days!

Sarah was there too!

Fabulous people watching too. Great evening. :)
