The Reveal

Hopefully you'll all be just as excited as Eamon to see.....

Our new sink!

Look, it swivels! (Or is he giving me that look for the overhyped drama going on here? Probably more the latter, eh?)

Fine, I'll let E show off the utility of this baby:

You can turn it on...

.but when Mom and Dad notice, you'll have to turn down the flow.

You can get a drink...

...or wash your face.

I suppose you could even wash your hands. 

Water conservation? BOOOOOOO.


Like the sink we loved at the old place, super deep on one side and huge, with a little side sink that perfectly holds a pan or muffin tin for soaking:


It blends so well with the other appliances.

Now, about that countertop....it's looking awfully beige. Hey, didn't some store open up in Denver last week?

Father's Day

We spent part of Father's Day weekend camping in the Buffalo Creek Wilderness Area. For Father's Day E kept Ray up all night. But before that, we had a lot of fun hiking about....





...photobombing each other....


...learning to climb...
...and being tough in general.

The Silent Characters

Thanks to the new camera, I can actually show you the rest of our family.
Anyone who comes to our house meets Donut.

Heck, he even lets E pet him. Sometimes.

If you provide food or are male, then Marco Polo will generally snuggle up to you (and yes, age is catching up to his eyesight).

But almost no one sees Smoke. On mornings when Smoke is slow to hide, E asks "what is that?" as the shadow runs by.
