Week Happenings...

Shall we start with the good?? Mike had the opportunity to visit with some of our dear friends in Albuquerque, Brittany & Steve. We were practically inseparable for a time, so it was so good for him to see them again. We are hoping to have them out for Labor Day Weekend to show them around our neck of the woods. They were so kind to give Owen the most ADORABLE birthday gift, of which we had to document.... Thank you, Duncans!
No pair of shoes will ever top these baby New Balance tennies!

Continuing onto the good...

Mike and I shared a quick, but wonderful date on Saturday night. We ate at Tommy Bahamas, walked around Kierland Commons, and shared some good memories of our dating history. I can see why dating is SO important after kids. Our conversations usually consist of poopy diapers, bath time, and friendly banter of who's day was more difficult (mine,with Owen. or Mike's, with work). You almost start dedicating your date night conversation to the same topics, until you loosen up and focus on each other. It was WONDERFUL!

Now moving forward to the bad...

We have a few roommates in the house who are not paying rent, and continue to abuse their stay in our home. We will just call them Mr. and Mrs. Scorpion, and their extended family. They have taken up residents in some of the most unusual places. For example:

Mike's shorts!! Let me narrate this photo for you! Mike puts on shorts. Mike feels a painful poke on his butt. Mike gets scared. Mike feels another poke on his leg. Mike sheds a tear. Liz says, "Mike, take off you shorts already. It's obviously Mr. Scorpion!" Mike takes shorts off, and out comes this:

Oh yeah, he was big. This is Mr. Scorpion enjoying a refreshing bath in scorpion killer!

This is Owen, fearing for his life!
