Erika visits from South Carolina

Nap time? Chow time! Bubble time. Gotcha! (Erika's very popular.) Bath time. Duck towel is not so practical, but very cute. Skippyjon Jones in the Dog House -- One of Melania's favorite books!

Canyon Ferry Physical Therapy

Future home of Canyon Ferry PT. Several have commented on the wagon wheels, but they were not included in the acquisition of this fine building on Front Street. This glorified shed is well insulated and in a great location. There is plenty of parking, and I'll have room for a small office, 2 treatment rooms, accessible bathroom, and large "gym" area. I can hardly wait to get started on my own practice! A mid-August move is planned. I've resorted to renting my house in WA in hopes that the market will improve...

Catching up - slowly! (Blogger pictures - out of order, like usual!)

The last couple of weeks have been quite busy. We went to the Strawberry Festival Parade with Wendy and Blaine. A few days later we made a trip to MT pulling a 6x12 U-Haul trailer. It was a slow trip, and I did not get the best gas milage ever. It could have been worse, however! The kids were pretty patient, and my arm only went to sleep a couple of times reaching behind the seat. We enjoyed convention at Manhattan with family and friends. I spent Monday organizing the stuff I had hastily unloaded at the River House so that it will be ready for the next load. The real estate market is not especially encouraging in my area right now, but hopefully someone will appreciate the great deal soon!

Manhattan Convention 2008

Convention - Taylor Rae and Melania - (I hardly took any pictures. Oops.) Mishayla with Melania's kitty riding shotgun.

Playing in the grass. Note very cool sandal! Once upon a time, there were 2 sandals!

My Dad is adding dirt and moving it around my MT house to make a circular driveway, access to the river, and a nice backyard. It looks great, in my opinion. You kind of have to squint and imagine the possibilities. If landscaping is what you do, I could use some help!

Parade shot of Mommy and Mishayla. Back to the parade... A bit later. Blaine and Melania. Much later...

Auntie Lisa paid us a visit one evening on her way home from work. We went on a walk. Melania's favorite lines, "Lisa love you? Troy love you?" Yes, Melania, they do! We went to the Strawberry Festival Parade a few weeks ago. The girls in their stroller. Wendy teaches Melania about candy necklaces. Wonderful... Mishayla's candy.

Melania at story hour at the library. Playing and singing "Toss the beanbag." Another game. Getting a stamp!
