Last night Ein's lip randomly started swelling again. This is the second time this has occurred. The only thing I can think of that might have caused it was the yogurt I gave him, because I think I may have given him yogurt last time it happened as well. Of course it could also be some type of bug bite. It's very strange. I gave Ein some children's benadryl, and the swelling went down. He looks normal again now, but he sure did look funny last night! I had an extremely busy day at work, and I'm exhausted, so I'm going to bed! Stephanie

We spent Father' s Day weekend with Kevin's parents. On Saturday, we watched a bit of the mud run at Camp Pendleton, and then went to the "Wild Animal Park" in Escondido. Here are some of the animals we enjoyed: Kevin's favorite, the California Condor Sleeping lion cub Giraffe and baby giraffe a cheetah Okapis A young gorilla being a nuisance to an older gorilla a portion of the mud run. Kevin is interested in running this 10k with muddy portions and obstacles next year. Unfortunately, I now have strep throat....again! That's the 3rd time in about 9 months! I'm missing two days of work, but I'm already feeling a bit better. -Stephanie

So this weekend Steph and I took a little trip to Kansas. I know what you're thinking. Why on earth would you take the time and spend the money to spend the weekend in such a miserable place? Trust me, I understand your shock. It would take a very good reason for me to go to such a place, and as it happens, I had a very good reason; that is, the wedding of one Sasha Ann. Some of you may know who I am talking about. Others, however, might be quite in the dark as to who this Sasha character is and why I would be attending her wedding. Well let me tell you all, Sasha and I go way back. And when I say way back I mean Junior year of high school (remember folks, I'm a military brat. If I know someone for more than three years it's considered 'way back'. (For those who are looking at the picture below and thinking "This Sasha sure is weird..." you're right. But, it was I who gave her the idea of dressing as a cowboy and riding the carosel.) So the question t...

The last several days have been sweltering - usually over 100 degrees. This is when we remember that, yes, we do live in a desert. We try to avoid going outside in the heat of the day. At least our jobs have good air condition. Hope everyone is having a good week!

I've been trying to post a Mother's Day post since Saturday, but I kept getting kicked off blogger! Anyway, a late happy mother's day to both of our moms. We love you so much! Thank you for raising us and helping us to become who we are today.

For my (Stephanie's) birthday, we took a trip to Palm Springs with some friends and rode the aerial tramway up to the mountains. It was a a great time with friends, with some wonderful views. Eric, Greg, Liz, Mike, Becca, Kevin, Katie, Joel and Stephanie: our hiking party. We experienced both snow and scorching heat in the same day! In the evening, a slightly different group of friends celebrated at TGI Fridays. 24 is not bad so far.

I have strep-throat...again! I think on both instances, I caught it from patients. I'm feeling pretty crummy today, however I should be getting better soon, because I already started antibiotics. Yesterday Kevin and I re-upholstered our trunk/bench. I think it looks quite nice. Maybe we'll post a picture when we get some decorative pillows to spruce it up more. Hope everyone is doing well.
