Well, we went to my cousin, Dawn's, house for the long weekend. She and her husband, Tim have FOUR kids. It's an instant party. They have a pool so it's always fun to be there and play around in the sun.
Dawn's an accountant but her passion (or one of them) is photography. She was working on a slide show of a wedding she recently shot during a lot of the weekend and trying to get it posted. It's up now and here (read the post about the wedding and click on the "click here" link). In her spare time she shot pictures of me and the girls and then we did a "lifestyle" shoot of our whole family. We wandered all over McMinnville. It was very hot. . . but the climax was a dip in the river -- fully clothed!
We brought some pictures home with us -- Sara took some of them -- but Dawn's working on them so I'll point you to her blog/website and if you keep checking back, you'll see them eventually.
She's got a great eye and we hope we can send Sara to stay with her next summer to "intern."
Other than photography, we spent a lot of time being serenaded by Griffin, Dawn and Tim's eldest, on his guitar. He's unusually talented -- and not just for his age. He gets better every time we visit. He's learning lots of different instruments.
Speaking of which, Noah is now in the BAND. I got him a saxophone last week. We'll see how long this lasts.
Also, I started my new job today. I'm working as a paralegal at -- no more secretary positions. In fact, at one point I dared to instant message Tim and I mentioned that the office was cold and I was borrowing the secretary's space heater. . . and he said "Do you realize what you just said? You borrowed a heater from the secretary and it's NOT YOU! You made it!" It felt good.
Then I spent a couple of hours three-hole punching a foot high pile of medical records.
Life is good. Even when it's just normal.
