June 2009

June began with a visit from Audrey's Grandma (aka "Grammie" which is easier to say than "Great Grandma Jackson") and Audrey's Aunt, Nancy ("Grammie's" daughter). During their stay was when Spencer dumped an entire new container of liquid blue Tide concentrated laundry detergent on the carpet. We had a wonderful visit with them, and were not left alone for long since on the day that they departed, Aunt Angela (Jonathan's sister) arrived to stay with us for a week. On David's last day of school we went with her to an indoor play place called "Bonkers".

During June I (Audrey) made a banner for girls' camp, and we finally bought a new kitchen table! We had a great Father's Day and celebrated Jonathan's birthday, however, due in large part to our upstairs A/C going out, we didn't take any photos of Jonathan's birthday celebration.

Finally, the last part of June was spent madly packing for our road trip to Utah for three weeks.

A lot of catching up!

So, it has been several months since I updated our Picasa Web Album. Here is a link if you want to see some of our daily life: http://picasaweb.google.com/jrstonehenge

No pressure.

My little Jason J

For those of you who haven't seen my sweet little giant lately...

Did I mention that I love baby feet?

We've got...

Roughly 14 sq ft of carpet to replace (thanks to Spencer and the blue Tide),

a cracking garage door panel ($175),

a blockage in the sewage pipe leading out of the guest bathroom,

the boys' toilet just broke,

"and Guilder to blame for it.

We're swamped!"

My Aunt Nancy with Spencer, spooning up the concentrated liquid Tide that has ruined our floor. These are just the larger patches, Spencer tried to clean it up himself; soaked a towel in it, gave up, dragged it across the playroom and left it on the love sac. This also doesn't show the blue footprints EVERYWHERE!

David's understanding of concepts

This was found today while I was flipping through his science journal which he brought home for the first time (since it was the last day of school). For those who are unfamiliar, the figures are holding Wii remotes. I love the angry face.
