Our week

What a great day! Today...and yesterday...and the day before that. Actually all of our days since our arrival have been great! We have had a wonderful time with friends--reacquainting ourselves with our house and our town, and generally hanging out, playing and eating together.


It has been wonderful.


So. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this post is a dissertation.


Enjoy!


In no particular order, here is our week: (sorry about the underline, i can't figure out how ot get rid of it!

Everyday. Thirty minutes minimum. I love the music.

Some funny comment made us all laugh, but some more than others:

Pool time with friends Anna and Laura--Minnie in the middle.

Ah! Finally, victory! a visit to our favorite sushi place--Ha Ku Ba..more commonly known by us as "Mr. Lee's"

I love the following pictures--look at all the green!! This was the first of MANY capture the flag games we've had at the house...all neighborhood kids with a few exceptions who happily commuted:)

This picture is nothing special except look at the green!!!

Emily with the whole gang!

Capture the Flag group picture....we are missing a few neighbors here, but this is the majority

Hunter, John and Chip...these boys are keeping good pace in the growth dept. I think they will pass John in a year or so....

Dinner with the War's. They will be visiting us in August and since the weather won't be too welcoming, i fully expect all our phx friends to be even more so.

Chip and his buddy Nate: (sorry about the underlining again!)

We Love our Swing Set!!! (creaks and all)

Rachael and Twinkle--how fun to update her on all the phx happenings since she knows many of you!
