Bromeliad

Disclaimer: I'm testing out the ability to make entries via email. So if this looks a little funny, that's why.

Things are coming along slowly. Someone told me you really need to take off work about two weeks after a move like ours. I believe it. Not a day goes by I don't think of something that needs to be done. The unpacking is going slower than I want, but with we're both working right now so we only have the evenings to get things done.



Yesterday I planted the bromeliad Carla and I bought. This is a plant we bought when we first moved to Florida and put out on the lanai of our apartment, then promptly forgot about. It needed to be re-potted at least twice since we bought it. It bloomed twice, and I swear the thing should be dead, but it's not. I think it's a wonderful symbol of our relationship. Yesterday, I planted it beside our house where it will get a little sun and a lot shade and should be hit by the sprinklers. All the while, I kept thinking about what I wanted to do with the landscaping. I'm faced with something Carla was complaining about -- there's so much I want to do I don't know where to start. But it'll be fun getting there.

Ainsley is a 3rd-Degree Black Belt!!!

After six and a half years, Ainsley has earned her 3rd-Degree blackbelt. The following is a video of the several hours of testing that she went through. Ainsley worked hard for this achievement, not just the past two months, but the several years leading up to it. We're very proud of her. And just for fun, here's a picture of Ainsley when she got her orange belt - about 6 months after starting taekwondo.  

Calli and Bluebell

Friday we brought home our new puppy. What a joyous sleepless time it's been. Our cat Calli Mari is finally getting used to having her around. She spent the first two days under the bed. Now she ventures out but is still a little wary, as shown in this picture. I'm hoping to get more pictures available soon. We've been taking a lot, but they're a lot to sift through. Puppies don't stand still for long.
Ainsley had a GREAT summer this year - filled with many different summer camps. She went to: Adventure Camp Messy Art Camp Doctor Camp Drama Camp School Camp Farm Camp Pottery Camp I am proud to share several videos from Drama Camp. These are from the final performance that took them 3 weeks to learn - the singing, the choreography, the lines - it was exhaustive.
