This is a picture of us in front of our new house. Life is good here. It was a scorching 83 degrees at high noon today. I prayed for all of my precious friends and family in Phoenix who by now are starting to feel like a potato chip. This time last summer, I used up an entire 32 oz bottle of Jergens lotion and one thing of baby sunscreen. 
This is Eric cutting our grass. I am standing on our back deck overlooking our huge lot and amazed that a child so young could do such a great job on the lawn. He was actually pausing to pee here. Oh to be a boy.We have had the priviledge of having lots of visitors in our month and a half here. My mom was here for the whole month of July, then my dad joined us for a few days late in the month. My brother Bradley, sister-in-law Manuela and nephew Lukas came and stayed for about 11 days and we had a blast.
Last Thursday we had an old friend, Bill with us for a night. He was here from Arizona. Then lastly, we had some good friends from Atlanta come and stay last weekend.
Needless to say, life has been busy. As you can tell, I am not very inspired to be pensive or super deep. I'll come back when I get some rest.
Bye y'all
