two firsts and a few more pics

well, on the way to walmart, dean heard a wierd noise and pulled over. sure enough, we had a flat tire. our first since we've been married. so he got to change the tire in the hot sun. he did a wonderful job. a big screw was stuck in there. and when we got to walmart, we found out another tire has a big bolt in it. so i guess there are some disadvatages to living in a new house. running over lots of tire-damaging scrapnels. or whatever that word is.

event number two. we were at lowe's and i needed to change abby's diaper so i rushed off to the bathroom without dean. i was so involved with abby i forgot to look at the door and quickly entered the bathroom. a quick glance to my left and i thought "oh no. that poor guy is in the wrong bathroom." my dad immediately came to mind. but then, another thought came to my mind. hey, girls don't have urinals in their bathrooms. oops. so i went quietly back out the door and across the hall to the proper bathroom where abby was changed without any more hitches. it's just not like me to go into the wrong bathroom. i don't think anyone noticed though. feuw. hope everyone has a wonderful day. off to go put abby's crib together. and to all of you wanna-be visitors, make it a reality.

photography class

thank you mark dumas for allowing me to attend your ever-so-cool class. i'm not sure i learned a lot about photography, but i did enjoy it. and to the model family, job well done.

our new (messy) home

well, these are pretty awful pictures of the house, but it's the best i could do. i guess you guys will just have to come visit to see it.

driving, driving, driving

our trip to texas was long and fun. i sure love my kids. all three of them did so well. i honestly don't know if any children have ever had better attitudes about being in a car so much. abby pretty much never cried and ian and sarah didn't fight hardly at all. all of these pictures are of the trip. most of them taken by ian.

the last breakfast :(

how sad to say goodbye. i sure had a lot of fun and a great big thank you to anna for such yummy food. i already miss you guys, but there sure is a lot to do here. who wants to unpack when they can go to a different store every second? not me. lots of work to be done though. fun fun fun.
