And, he's a very hungry caterpillar!

As a lifelong independent washington state voter

I have such a problem with voting in today's primary. Why don't the democrat and republican parties just do this themselves? I have to check a box that says I'm affiliated with one party or another. Hmmmm, I never have been, nor will I ever be affililated with the democrats, but I guess that's the box I'll check because it will be a cold day in h-e-double-hockey-sticks before I ever affiliate with the republicans. There is only one democrat I'm that interested in getting elected. That would be Derek Kilmer for state senator from our 26th district, and he's unopposed by any other democrat, so why should I even vote?

I've changed my photograph from Little Lulu (my hero) (wait, this is an aside: as I am typing this Doug says "Just say you updated your photo. Why are you being so wordy?") It's a blahg, duh!

These people

Got a happy grandparents day card in the mail today. As most of you know, Doug's hair hasn't changed much. He still hasn't gotten a haircut!

I just love these pictures

It is no small thing that they, who are so fresh from God, love us.

Hey check out my links!

Andy helped me write some html so you all can link to blogs of importance. Hope you enjoy this cyber convenience. Currently everyone is in the front yard planting a tree that Sarah picked out at the nursery down the street. It is a Clerodendrum trichotomum, also known as a Harlequin Glorybower. Very pretty tree, and yes, it is being planted with the placenta fertilizer. Also, I rode Andy's bmx bike this morning. Great bike - great breaks. I even popped a little wheelie! That wide look in my pants is phat air!

I'm on Andy & Sarah's computer so I don't know if I can post a picture of him, but I'll check. Doug and I slept in the tent last night out in the yard. It was quite comfy. We wore earplugs and the freeway was just a distant hum. Danny is camped out on the couch. Andy/Sarah & Theodore are doing great. Danny and I went to Andy's classroom yesterday and helped him set up a little bit. He didn't have much to do, really. I want to get him to take us back over there, though, before we leave. He needs a plant in there!
