First off, sick. Don't worry, nothing dire. I had a strong sore throat and fever for a day or so, but now feel pretty much better. Sadly, Gwen came down with the same thing today. Hope she feels better tomorrow! Especially hope that Meredith and Jeffrey don't get it too.
Hot hot hot down here too. I'm sure it is at your place for most of the thousands who read this blog (ha ha). Our house does not have central air. We have three window units instead. They work fine but are noisy, and man I hate putting them in every spring. There is always swearing and minor repairs to those stupid vinyl accordions on the sides. but, its done now for the season.
Meredith is growing noticeably, mostly getting chubbier. Her cheeks are so much fuller then they were at birth. Tomorrow is her 4 week birthday, and one month is on Saturday. Time flies! She continues to get through most nights. Here's a picture of the chubby cheeks:

Other random stuff: Jeffrey and I spotted a pair of rabbits this morning. They like to eat the clover that's all over our lawn. In fact, because we don't do any sort of weed control in our lawn (except that I make a half-hearted effort in the spring to dig up dandelions by hand), there's all sorts of good things for them to eat. We think they have a den or whatever under the spruce trees in the north corner of our yard.

Here's a good one of Jeffrey on his tricycle. He's a total racecar driver on that thing now, as well as on his big wheels.

Final story: I've been biking to work more lately, and am going to get rid of my parking pass for the summer and fall to save 35 bucks a month. I even got some new rain gear finally that actually might work well. Anyway, coming home yesterday I noticed that my seat started to feel a little loose. That's happened a few times over the years. I figured I'd just tighten it when I got home. About half a block from home, suddenly there's a loud sound of metal on metal, and the seat self-destructs! The saddle just fell off. I was going pretty fast, as it was on the downhill, but I had no problem staying up -- just stood up on the pedals. I collected the debris from the street and found that the saddle post bolt had sheared off into two pieces! The bike I think is about as old as miles .. I think I got it either in 99 or 00. Time for a new seat! Here's a pic of the poor old bike, with no seat and the post removed.
