Update: Laurie snapped a ton of pictures.  Only a few pictures are currently public, but if you are one of our Flickr contacts then you will be able to view them all.

I’ve got a little shopping to do today for Jack’s birthday.  It is impossible to believe that our little guy will be five next week, and he will be starting kindergarten next month.  Where did the years go?

Millie got her glasses this week — she looks cute as bug.  She was excited at first, but the novelty quickly wore off once she realized that she was expected to wear them all the time.

This summer is putting our no-AC lifestyle to the test.  We’ve already had more sweaty evenings that we did during the exceptionally mild summer of 2009.  I’m sure we will all survive.

Finally I have a couple of minor site updates to report:  I’ve added FeedBlitz widget for email subscriptions to my blog updates — RSS just isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.  Also I’ve opened up the site to search engine crawlers for the first time in years.  I’m no longer worried about exceeding my bandwidth limits since most of my media content is now hosted elsewhere (Flickr, YouTube and so on).
