Not much is new here. Dave and Dad spent this morning working on hanging some shutters and a gate on our deck. The shutters look great and I will post a pic as soon as the painting gets done around them. :) It may have to wait until the weather is a little cooler.

It is supposed to only be 85 tomorrow which will be a nice break from the 90's. Emma and I did go for a nice long walk today around the neighborhood. (actually Emma rode her bike and I walked) It was hot but very nice to get a little exercise in.

We received this cool gift the other day in the mail from our cousins James and Kelly and Maggie in Japan. The girls were so excited to open it and they can't wait to tear it apart and get all the "goodies" out of it. Here is poor Marina "propped up" next to it. Of course Dave was nearby ready to catch her before she took a header off of the couch. :)

Thanks James, Kelly and Maggie!!!!
