What now?

So there are a bunch of things to tell this post. The saga just kind of stacks up on us! The best way to handle it is with pictures. Here goes. Audrie asked for a picture of Zac sans (French for without) braces. The only one I have is posted below (unless this blogger software jacks the picture position again...which it just did, placing it above!@#$%). OK, now it thinks that is a web address, good grief. There is also this picture of how I feel about the way this works.

I just want a freakin' photo to post below my type. I've tried every format option including "none".

We held a work project called the "dam cleanup project" last Saturday. At least I called it the dam cleanup. Others, I believe, spelled it slightly differently. So after slipping into the pond while extracting various branches, we three guys looked about the way Z does in the picture at the top. Here goes a video. Never a dull moment at the Texas homestead!

Thursday we (unfortunately without Nick) went to Houston to pick up Marianne and Sage, go to Blake's 5th b-day party at the swimming pool, and go to the beach in Galveston with Susan & Scott, Stacy and her kids. What a blast! Lessons learned: (some already experienced and should have been learned previously) don't travel without a dehydration plan when young children are on board; don't turn Scott loose in Costco or any store without Susan to chaperone if you are on a schedule or want to be on a schedule; apply sunscreen even when it's raining.
I'll try a couple pictures again. Good luck finding them on the page. Lights out til next post. Oh, one more thing, did you know that Scott can kneel beside his bed for at least 3 hours without getting up? Watch for it the next time you visit. If you're thinking brother of Jared, try thinking hearts or solitaire.
