Month: August 2009

Well, it’s the end of an erra. Daddy’s ‘ghetto blaster’ finally died. He bought it on his first work term about 18 year ago! Wow, I can believe I typed that. He remembers buying it at a store called “Majestic Sound Warehouse”. The freaky thing is that I bought my first “ghetto blaster” at that same store, around the same time! It is a sad time. R had been using it in her room for the last 2 years and it has finally decided to stop working. Sigh.

Yesterday and today have been hot. I mean really hot. 43 Degrees with the humidity. Yuck. This is about the first really hot humid days since about late May. R and her friend had a good time outside playing in the little pool. Here she is taking a break on her towel. (singing, therefore the weird expression)

Today we celebrated Auntie V’s Birthday with family. In addition, we were blessed to have Oma with us, only 2 weeks after her hip surgery. She is doing amazing. We managed to wrangle the girls outside for a photo. My lens was fogging up with the humidity, so the picture is a little wonky. Cute aren’t they!

R was at a local Arts camp this week. The theme was “The Silk Road”. She had lots of fun, made new friends, and lots of crafts of course. In the picture she is beside her painting of a Chinese Landscape. (the other painting was painted by someone quite a few years older than her).
