good times

a visit from our good friends from north carolina reminded us how important it is to stay in touch with those who are far away from us...

monkey dooz

we have this place here in the tri-cities called monkey dooz. it's a "salon" just for kids. lucas' hair was getting way out of control and he wouldn't let me go near it, so i decided to give this place a try. it was awesome. the barber seats were actually jeeps (for the boys) and each jeep had a small tv in front of it playing a cartoon. these things kept lucas occupied long enough for the stylist lady to lop off most of his locks.

a weekend getaway

our good friends, the baders, organized a fun and instructive retreat for us up at goldendale this weekend. we had a great time hearing from a great speaker, taking turns cooking for one another, hiking and finding deer droppings, sighting a herd of deer, playing cards, performing an intrepretive lawn dance, and tee-peeing a neighbor cabin. our little ones seemed to enjoy it, too!
