Torture

The door's now in, but not without it's share of mistakes--once the right part comes in, we'll be able to stain it. Once the curtains come in, we'll be able to hang them. We have primed everything and painted the walls, but not the trim.

And I've spent the past two months calling our former and current health insurance companies, trying to get everything straightened out. Another hour this morning in fact. I have little faith it will resolved before we leave town Wednesday.

But the good news is, this time next week we'll be at DISNEYLAND!!! And this one's big enough to ride the Matterhorn.

Ocean City Boardwalk

Two Sundays ago we spent the day at the Ocean City boardwalk.

What Else We've Been Up To

Going a little Disney crazy---

Building (and sleeping in) forts---

Swatting flies--

Replacing the doors--

More on that later.

Rich's Birthday

Presents in bed . . .

Hanging out in the back yard---this is Rebecca's "first face"!! I drew the three circles for her, and she drew in the rest, completely on her own. Pretty impressive, I think.

She takes her art very seriously. And her "Mulan" hair. Lately she's very picky about how I pull it up--this is her favorite way.

Then a trip to the Monkey Zoo . . .

And cake that night--Rebecca put the candles in herself,

And cut her own piece of cake. (Daddy's idea, not mine, but it was his birthday . . . )
