Kids and hoses. Bennett and Laraine kinda run away and run back hesitantly. Jasper just wants to hang out in the steady stream.
Forlorn Jasper at the Bracken cabin. This is the only picture I actually took. I saw Beka had a camera and figured I'd get copies from the master. Yes, we invited ourselves. Yes, we got vomit all over their cabin. But we had a grand time. Thanks again, Beka and Jake.
Bennett has now discovered books and flashlights in bed after the lights go out. It makes bedtime easier for him and for Dan and me. Sometimes Laraine joins him. The flash kinda messed this up, but you get the idea.
Laraine and her three Fuzzlies. Now and then she wakes up in the night screaming that she doesn't have one of them. Then we have to search the house trying to find where she dropped it. What a look on her face.
The fair. A good time was had by all. Mostly.
Dan and I recently hiked the Subway with the Hainses. Can you believe the cruel things we do to Therese? She was stuck with the monsters all day. She's a saint. We love her. So I learned I have a bad knee. It was kind of a depressing shock. See, until this Subway hike, I haven't actually done anything that might test my knee since before I was married when I went on that backpacking trip with Dan, when I was still letting him think I'm into that sort of thing (I actually had to purchase a backpack and a sleeping bag for that excursion). Anyway, if I hadn't hiked the Subway a few weeks ago, I'd still be in happy oblivion about my knee (three cheers for inactivity!), but actually, it was a lot of fun.
Doing homework with Bennett. It can be time consuming. Understand, Nine is the greatest of those numbers, so it has to have a crown and a throne. Four and Five are lowly servants. They're holding trays of food for Nine. It's good to be Nine.
