The beginning of August, my sister Panda and her husband Choo Choo came to visit. Those aren't their real names. They are really Adrienne and James, but we never call them that. Isn't that a wonderful beginning?... Never mind. Anyway, one of the first things we did, was visit the gardens. I will mention that Stacy (my other sister) and her lovely girlies came too.
Christian got all things Star Wars for his birthday!
We also went to the dinosaur museum with my sisters and nieces.
Panda got feeling a little feisty with this guy:
Christian followed her example.
Hopefully, they will both be a little smarter if they ever meet a real one. What? They're extinct? Oh, good.
Roxie and Lily were feeling brave.
OK. Maybe Roxie was feeling brave. Lily was feeling dramatic.
Sophie was feeling a little bored.
The next day, Doug was home from Haiti with his broken arm he got there. We made him go bowling anyway. Aren't we nice? OK, so he didn't bowl so much as cheer. It was a grand time. Panda and I rocked out to all the 80's music. We partied like it was 1999. Or something. Anyway, we had a blast!
Then, we went home for cupcakes. Panda and Choo Choo are the queen and king of cupcakes, respectively. Choo Choo had already returned to Illinois by then, so the queen, herself, made the cupcakes.
They were made with whole wheat flour and unrefined sugar and they were divine. You may not believe it, but it's true.
I told you his birthday lasted a week! I will have to finish catching up later. One of those happy and occupied children decided she was hungry. Too bad for her she's too little for chocolate cupcakes... I'm feeling hungry now, too!

Fun times. And just so you know, I fixed my garden post ;) How cute were those cupcakes! I'm glad they turned out well!
"Yeah, it's really good" to answer your question. :) I miss you all. I think that you should come and visit. Too bad we were all sick. It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. :)
Haiti? How was his arm broken?
Hi Jessica! It's Jenny. I'm so glad to have found your blog! I spent alot of time catching up on a few years. I love reading your blog. You are wonderful, and have wonderful kids. :)
Tell Doug I said hi and that I hope he gets better soon.
I was going through pictures today and I found a few from our wonderful time as roommates. Someday I will get them copied and send you some. Love you.
P.S. I miss your awesome hair skills. No one comes close to doing such a great job as you did on my hair.
