How far beyond Zebra did you go?

So folks, we have had another party, and taken more pictures, and learned many more things. Beyond the usual, we have spent time endulging our minds in the wide variety of domino-things, the relationship between "helping to cut broccoli for supper" and "still having some left to eat at supper", the theory behind "why iced tea isn't for breakfast", the symbiotic relationship of the juliacreature and mommycreature, and why "toadstools" are for looking at and "mushrooms" are for eating.
Here is the treasured Uncle Adin (Adam) . He leaves soon for school, where he WILL BE MISSED, but we are SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR HIM!!! Ad, you will have the TIME of your LIFE. The beauty of Sweden is awesome (similar to BC hills, trees, green, lovely) and you will find yourself lost in the woods, farms and meandering roads more often than you thought possible. If you want to see where this guy is going, check my top link on the link list.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH, the attack of the AUNTI'S!!!!!!!!!!! :) Julia loves having family around!!
Something i've been meaning to write down is this: "Blue Lunch" yup. that's it. One of MIss Elizabeths games. We play domino's ALL THE TIME, but she continually comes up with new things to do, when she tires of the old. we make parks, houses, towers, the usual, but now she has her FAVORITE pieces, the dark blue five dot ones, and the light blue single dot ones. These comprize her "blue lunch" and she holds them tightly until i make her put them all away at the end of our game. strange but true.

another cute cute story: we recently "showed" our home to a potential buyer. I was cleaning and organizing all day, so Julia kept asking, "who is coming over today?" (it might be true that i clean mostly when people are visiting....but i'll keep you in the dark as long as possible about that...) I told the Jules that someone was going to look at the house . "WHY?"
"Because they may want to buy it."

pause.

(in the slightly whiney, not so cute voice, but very cute words)
"BUT this house is special to MEEEEEEEE"

hahahahaha.
ooooooooooh funny. anyway. she'll warm up to the idea, after all, she sings about wanting a tree with a swing in our backyard allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the time. i think she's ready to move.

love from sue
