"Can you imagine a creature running as fast as a car, Mommy? Can you?"

(Where does he come up with these thoughts at random?)

Well, California is warming up. Granted the high hasn't been below 59-60 degrees all winter, but these days now are a perfect 65-70 degrees! So, yesterday we all enjoyed a bike ride on the trails by our house, and Anthony rode over 6 miles! I think that's impressive for little 5 year old legs. He loves riding his bike, and Chas likes riding in the trailor with Starks behind Mommy. (Riding behind Daddy is too stinky) We had a great weekend together, and there's nothing like perfect weather to cheer you up! Man, sunshine affects my spirit! Anyway, from our enjoying last weekend by the stream, Anthony and Daddy have poison ivy... Daddy has it so bad that he had to stay home from work today. Wow. It's so horrible that the swelling on his legs even makes him walk funny! He's miserable but trying not to complain. So, if anyone has a straw, send it this way for him. (I'm kidding, of course... I shouldn't joke about his misery!) I have never in my life seen poison ivy like his. If the wind blows in the right direction, he picks it up. SO, you can imagine how bad it must be since he was rolling around in it like it was a mink fur blanket. (maybe he was just walking in it up to his shorts like he was in the grass on Little House on the Prarie... I don't remember.) It's awful; I DO know that. Send him love!

We'll be outside and at the park all week!!! Yahoo! We met Cathryn and Laurent at the park today. Laurent is 15 months old and SO sweet! This is a rare shot of me with braces... I GET MY BRACES OFF WEDNESDAY! Look for a picture of me on the blog since I haven't had it taken but now twice in 2 years and 8.5 months! AHHHHHH!!!! I'm so excited!
