Siblings Party

Gordon and Kathy hosted the nicest dinner last week for the siblings of Foster and Myrl. We missed Warren and Barbara (they were having a most wonderful trip to England with their two oldest grandsons - Jordan and Andrew). We also missed Portia and Robert who just live too far away (in Mt. Shasta, CA). Luckily we had Jackie and Scott who are practically brother and sister to us anyway!!

Happy Birthday Dear Ellie

Summertime - and the living is easy...
How about that view from the Toia's back yard?
Who is as fabulous as Shar? No one!
Two bundled up girls!!
Isn't this a great fence door??

How lucky we are to live close to Mike and Emily! They're completely remodeling their "money pit". A beautiful home that they are remodeling...

Recently, we had a birthday!

Also I wanted to show you pictures of the panda at the National Zoo!! Some pictures that Devon (a budding young photographer) took and a picture or two of Manassas - a civil war site.

Another Trip to D.C.

She still loves Dora
Nate is "helping"
We spent Memorial Day morning at National Zoo - I will tell the funny story that goes with the zoo, but cannot post it--

Right after Portia's Birthday (May 25th) I was lucky enough to go see Kijuana and the little ones!! So happy to get to see precious, darling Kamilah and their (and my) sweet friend, Jenna. Here's some photos - Kamilah has some on her blog too!

Roachfest 2007

While looking out my front door today (note the insect is OUTSIDE) I saw a sight similar to last year's on my patio...

Hard to imagine a bug bigger than this one!!
