It got hot last week...we don't have a kiddie pool so we pulled out his old bathtub...he liked it, especially Gracie giving him a bath. Here's the shaggy dude before the haircut...Here he is after the haircut...ready for the marines! Favorite position going down the slide, on belly, head first...with Grace and Jack chasing behind him.
Nice pose on a hike we went on....

I finished reading the book "Bono" today....a book my brother loved and a man my brother admired. Now I know why. Not only is Bono courageous enough to ask the tough, sometimes unanswerable questions about the world we live in, he is wise enough to try to live out of the answers he finds as his own convictions. He loves Jesus. He loves People. He is humble and doesn't take himself too seriously. He puts his faith to work in this world in very tangible ways. He loves his family and puts them first. Simply, wow...what an inspiration.

Well it's been a busy month. We headed to Tahoe with Eric's fire crew:
My folks came to visit...
Brady learned how to put his hands in his pockets...
We spent a warm saturday at the beach...

Brady outgrew yet another pair of pajamas...

Good to be home after a long week of travelling to Tahoe. After 8 days off, Eric goes back to work :( while I keep busy chasing this crazy 18 month old, as of yesterday. Happy 1/2 Birthday Brady!!
