We’re Baaack…

Hi.

Still there?

Thanks to all who called and emailed to make sure that we are still alive and kickin’ over here. We definitely are – but just had to take a little hiatus for a few days to get everything under control. We’re close, soooo close.

So to get everyone up to speed, this soccer mom thing is kicking my butt. Apparently I cannot say “no” to anything, and apparently anyone who is the head of a committee has figured out that I cannot say “no,” therefore…I have been “volunteered” for just about everything. And between two different schools, ballet, soccer our calendar is always in flux and always crammed. And I’m tired.

Also our sitter had to leave the country to get her visa renewed, and did not return as of yet. So I have been interviewing sitters. Not a very fun job, but I think we have found a really good girl, and she starts next week. Just in time since I have several projects in motion and two more on the way.

Let’s see. Debby and Bill have been here since Friday, I think they are having a good time – I know the girls are loving having them here. They allowed Jamie and I to get away for a night last weekend so we headed to SF.

While we were there we did a potentially incredibly irresponsible thing as parents – we went on a Great White shark dive. I’m downloading the pics right now, and will fill you all in on the details perhaps tomorrow. (You’ve waited this long, surely you can wait one more day?)

Oh, yeah…and also?

Debby and Bill decided to tie the knot while out here in California. So we threw a wedding together and they got married, barefoot on a beach in Malibu this afternoon! It was pretty exciting – and more on that later, too!

Right now, I’m heading upstairs – very tired. I can’t really type or talk in complete sentences, so I’ll leave you with a photo of the girls and Nena frolicking in the surf after the ceremony today to tide you over. I promise I won’t let this photo be the only thing up to look at for a week.

Congrats Bill & Debby! We love you and wish you a very long, happy life together!
