PARASOLS!

Well, my cousin Seth is getting married soon, and Laurel and I weren't able to make it to Amanda's shower. Aunt Lucille sent me parasols (the favors) so we could take some photos with them. Here they are:

Deep Thoughts...

OK. Sometimes weird things occur to me. They're quite random.

Today, when I was getting ready for work, I was thinking of words that end in "-ender". Think about it... there are quite a few words in the English language that end in "-ender".

A
B - bender
C
D - dender? not so much.
E
F - fender
G - gender
H
I
J
K - not in English, but in Danish kender means "connoisseur"
L - lender
M - mender
N
O
P - pender? one who pends? (not really a word in English, but it sounds like one)
Q
R - render
S - sender
T - tender
U - Upender (thanks, Auntie Lu!)
V - vendor (I know, it's not spelled right, but it sounds the same)
W - wender? one who wends? (not really a word in English, but it sounds like one); Weekender! (thanks, Auntie Lu!)
X Y Z

Oh, and two for the price of one: fender-bender! (thanks, Auntie Lu!)
I know... I know... I'm a dork. (haha)

Gardening with Cory and Camryn

OK. So Laurel was the one who was really gardening. I don't garden. I avoid it like the plague. (I hate all the weeding!) But, I helped with the girls while she did all the shoveling. Hey -- don't judge me. It's HER house. (tee hee!)

Camryn was playing camera-shy, and Cory was in a good mood (and trying to "make fire"; I guess she learned about flint recently). It made for an interesting afternoon.

And then came the bubbles. We love bubbles. The second pic of Cam blowing bubbles is kind of fuzzy, but it's the only one that I was able to catch her making decent bubblage.
