Some random stuff

Nothing huge has gone on but here's the latest. . . Our really good friends, the Russons, are moving far, far away and we're so sad. Ryan doesn't totally get the fact that 2 of his best friends are leaving. They are the perfect little buddies--get along pretty well, love the same things (catching potato bugs), and they lived in the building across from ours. I will especially miss my friend Stacy who has spoiled me and been such a true friend. Our phone bill will be large:). However, we are so happy for them and wish them the best.


Ryan and the Russon boys eating lollipops that have silly mouths on the ends instead of sticks. Definitely worth 99 cents.

And on to other things. . .


Ryan developing a new talent--eating scrambled eggs with his toes. Is Star Search still on the air?

Today we had the best of intentions of going to the tide pools but someone (ok, Macie) decided not to sleep last night as much as we'd hoped. So, we went to a cool close by park we'd never been to.


Ryan and Rich climbing a tree together.


Macie and me sitting by the little creek after lunch.


Ryan after he fell into the creek. Apparently rainboots aren't the best for walking on wet river rocks.


Um, total daddy's girl.


National Geographic shot of the day. I think this is a damsel fly--but not totally sure. These were everywhere and fun to watch.
