The Lady of the Necklace

Well Sheila put together a little penny necklace for Lydia. Lydia and Matthew had fun helping to drill the holes in the pennies.

And Sheila was kind enough to remind me to smile :)

Sorry I didn't get a picture of the finished product but here's a video that kinda shows it (you have to go to the blog to see it):

Swinging on some swings

This past week I got home from work somewhat early so I got Sheila, Jenna, and Matthew to come walk to the school with me to pick Lydia up. We ended up getting out of the house late so we ended up walking really fast to get to the school. After we picked Lydia up we went to the park and played around there for a bit. Here's a picture:

And here's a little video:

200K and counting

Well our 17 year old van passed 200,000 miles this morning. So exciting.

So... where can you go with 200,000 miles??

Times to the moon: 0, but only need another 38k to get there :-)
Times around the Earth: 8
Times from Los Angeles to New York City: 71
Times can travel from one end to the other on route 66 (if it was still all there): 81
Times I can commute to and from work: 10,000 (that's 38 work years :-)
