For our video posting test -Rachel has a little message for all of her friends :-) (i just tried it and it isn't working on my computer-maybe the file is too big ? so let me know if you can watch it)
Public pool
We love Bowling!
Notice her excitement...and the ball hasn't even knocked any pins down yet...nor is it even close ;-)
Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks. One is a picture of one of the city's public pools. I remembered to take this as we were leaving-and the little tykes were not in the mood to pose-but I thought it would be fun to show anyway. Not only is there a little playground with slides, and all kinds of water sprinklers in the middle of the pool, but there are no memberships-you can just pay $1.00 to go for one day--and it is is open all summer -go figure:-) --(unlike some cities --which will remain nameless-that actually close the public pools for the summer). We went bowling last saturday--after Rach had spent all week setting up bunches of any toys that would stand up and rolling balls at them and yelling "STRIKE!" I felt bad, and decided she deserved some real bowling. Always a favorite activity-fun for the adults and the children--we highly recommend it. And the picture of Sam and I is compliments of Rach-as I decided it has been a while since we have posted anything with us in it. I did get my hair cut and highlights put in last week (not that you can notice them-they are pretty subtle). But I did like the stylist and so in a couple of months I may decide to let her put more in.
*side note* Thought you might all like to know that we recently set a record here in Phoenix for 34 days straight of temperatures above 110 degrees!! So-for all of you who have plans to come visit us...you can cross the month of august off of your list :-)

the video is sooo cute!! she's grown up a ton. what's the update on a house?????
Our offer was accepted-they are doing the inspection tomorrow-and as long as we get the loan approved, we will be closing on Sept. 28th !! :-) YAHOO!
Holy Cow!! Is she for real doing that or are you working some digital cinematic magic? That is truly impressive--and carrying on a conversation to boot. Wowsers! Go Rach!
Yay about the house! Woo woo!
We can absolutely see it! Rachel is just as adorable as when I last saw her. I didn't even know kids today would know what to do with a hula hoop! ;)
Oh my goodness--Rachel is a hula-hoop genius! Derek said, "I can't even hula hoop with 2 hoops." That's a lie: he can't hula-hoop with ONE hoop! Ava just watched the video 10 times in a row, and it apparently got funnier every time. She was chortling.
Can't wait to hear more about the house! YEA!
Dear Rachel,
Thank you for that awesome hula hoop that I liked. You are really good at that. I miss seeing you!
Love,
Maggie
