Monday night, and all's well....

Gee, where to begin...?
A few little details regarding the weekend.

Friday was really a lot of fun, Laura and Andrew came downstate, and brought Lucy and Maple to stay with us for the day. If you are curious about Maple, you will have to ask Laura to update her blog.
We had so much fun! Lucy is so cute and is talking up a storm! Laura and Andrew had a day off and I think they enjoyed themselves.
On Saturday we went up to the pool for awhile and then packed up the boys and headed up to Hagerstown for the "surprise" that had been awaiting them: The Monster Jam Monster Truck Show, featuring GRAVEDIGGER.
OOOOh, you say.
Yes, this was a real live monster truck show with huge trucks, smashed cars, and the cultural flavor of Western MD. They had a great time, and we have been thoroughly educated in the finer points of jumping huge, out of control vehicles over mounds of dirt and piles of cars. This will continue until the next adventure...

Sunday was a quiet day, for the most part. I had a meeting at the pool, and Tim was here at home putting in the first of our replacement windows. They look very nice, but most importantly, they will do a much better job of keeping out the cold!

Today was baby and toddler day!
I had the morning to spend with Josh and Mira, my friend Nettie's little ones, while she was Organizing with a client. It was actually a very good morning. Nina came over with Lilly, which was a very good thing because Mira wanted little to do with me, and she loved Nina! Josh was great, and so cute! Lilly just crawled around and played with her toys. She is pretty happy most of the time.

John is preparing for new pets after we get back from Washington. I am helping him get a cage and he will get the Ratties when we get home. He is very excited. He can't stop talking about them, and he has been researching everything online. I think he is going to do just fine with taking care of them. Bosco is going to be very put out, as he will be banished from John's room for the most part.

I will try to get some recent pictures up tomorrow or the next day.
For a relaxing summer, this is turning out to be a crazy one!
