Midweek happenings

It's Wednesday and we're plowing through the week.

Emma's been enjoying Day Camp. Yesterday she went on the BIG swing ... I haven't seen it or been on it, but from the descriptions I heard, we're talking the rope of the swing is 100 feet long and you really get some air under you. She was pretty excited about that. For much of yesterday, Uncle Gow followed Emma and her group around at camp with a video camera to document their day. This morning he came over for breakfast/get ready time and shot some footage of Emma at home. We're very interested to see the end result!

Last night my folks stayed home with the kids (they're with us until they move back to their place when Laura and Gow move into their new place ... confusing enough?) while Cyndie and I went to a weekly prayer meeting with a group from church. It was good to get together to pray with those folks and just spend time building relationships.

We're still fighting a battle with wasps under our deck. They seem to be somewhat resistant to the spray. I think it's more a matter of us not being able to get a good angle to get the spray up IN the hive rather than the spray not working. We'll keep fighting the good fight!

In "awe shucks" news, we're getting close to trying to find a new dog. Emma asks for one a lot. Both she and Timmy have been really doing well this week in helping out, and playing with, our friend's dog Gunner who we are dogsitting. We're looking at a much smaller dog (than Al), and one that doesn't shed as much. Here's the current thought:



These are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Anyway, that's the current thought! We'll let you know how things develop.
