Moonrise & Camp-

Here's me and my sweetie at the Moonrise. Joe surprised me with a night out for our anniversary. We got to drink-and-eat-and-drink-and-eat and sleeeeeep innnnnn all by ourselves. It was amazing with no kids pulling at our sleeves every five minutes -- and no one needed a waffle made for them within five seconds of their feet hitting the ground after waking up. See how well rested and refreshed we look? The good news is that we still like each other after 13 years of marriage!

Here's our resident jokester at summer camp. They had a "photo booth" and e-mailed parents the pics. What a riot. He is having FUN at camps this summer. It's a lot of work for this taxi-mom to take him everywhere at the proper time, but it's worth it. Happy summer!!

Aladdin and swimming

Bebe took Ben and me to see Aladdin at the Muny. It was AWESOME. We had rented the movie so Ben knew what the story was all about and what was going on. He really loved it and was smiling almost the whole time ... Bebe decided Ben was the sixth generation to go to the Muny. It was a beautiful night - a storm cloud rolled through and cooled things off but didn't rain - so it was perfect. Thanks, Bebe!

 We got home at midnight and this boy was tired after a long day at camp and night at the theater!!

Here's a bonus pic of Missy in the baby pool at home.

She's our little fish!
