My Knight In Shining Armor

Isaac *loves* to pose for the camera.  Oz goes along for the ride sometimes.  

I just thought these were too cute for words:

Busy, Busy Month

This month has been extra busy!  In July, shortly after the demolition stopped, mom and I got to work making a whole lot of tasty salsa.  It's probably the best we've ever made.  
My kids, my sister's kids, my friend and her kids and I all went to Discovery Place to visit the Pompeii exhibit.  It was an incredibly striking exhibit.  We spent a long time exploring the daily life of the Ancient Romans.  Then we entered a dark room that had nothing except the body casts of the victims of Mt. Vesuvius.  I was so moved.
It has been raining since Monday.  A good portion of the county had major flooding.  Public schools were cancelled and all the parks were closed too.  On the way to mom's house today, I had to choose an alternate route after my usual route was completely flooded out.  On the way home, I went to the other end of the block to take a picture.  Notice the car on what *was* the road?

While at mom's Isaac decided to go visit all the spiders in the yard.  Excitedly squealing, "Spiderman!  Spiderman!" every time he found a web.  The funnel spider was really neat!
