Well, after a weekend trip to the Pocono mountains for a birthday party, we've just been enjoying being home together as much as possible. The kids are a little tired of travelling by now. Let's prove it with pictures:

We say ",Hey kids, we're home! Time to get out of the car!"
Nothing from the back but ",Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."


These two kids play great together. They absolutely adore each other and like doing things like friends. For instance, look at just one of the many examples we have of Belinda dressing up her baby brother.


She sees him as sort of an amazing stuffed animal, and he sees her as the coolest thing in the world. Ocassionaly they injure one another a little, like when she hugs him. Or when he gets ahold of her hair and we have to call the fire department to get her loose. OK, that last part was exaggerated a little bit.

Leigh is busy. She's starting up an Ebay business to compliment her Mary Kay and other endeavors. Her plan is to sell shoes, mainly Birkenstocks. It's fun having a lot of Birkenstocks around the house to choose from!


Jon is working on his summer school assignments, getting back into shape physically, and working his regular job. He is trying not to annoy others with his health-food talk, but he does anyway. He is also learning a little Sanskrit and Ugaritic in his free time.


After bathtime the other day, Sammy and Belinda were clowning around on Bel's bed. Much to his own surprise, Sam pulled himself up onto his own two feet! He was pretty excited about that:
