Catch up

I have quite the update about our neighbor boy but first there are a few things have been going on around here lately that I should probably record before I forget.
A few weeks ago we were visited by more ants. This time in the office. I was on the computer and an ant crawled out from between the keys...then another. I looked behind the computer and found a trail of them crawling up the cord and into cracks in the computer. I'm baffled at how these little beasties decide where to camp out. Why the computer? Really? Glenn got out the drops again and within a few minutes the papers looked like this:

They formed a line across our wall and down to a little crack in the baseboard. Luckily they were gone by later that day and we have yet to find them anywhere else. I'm tired of bugs. Last week it was a tiny lizard, in my pantry. I was very proud of myself for catching it under a bowl and throwing it outside. Yuck! Then later that week I found this big guy in the driveway. Still wiggling around. He was large. But at least he was outside, right? Unfortunately, bug season here has just begun.

Fortunately, there are many good things about our new little neighborhood. My morning jog now looks like this:We can go around the duck pond or down a little trail in the woods. It's great. Our neighborhood also has two nice pools and a little splash pad. The pools opened a couple weeks ago and we frequent them to keep cool. It's most fun when Glenn can come. Tate also has a new favorite pool toy. It's a little penguin with a propeller that he follows around. The pool has all these slides and fountains and all little guy wants to do is wander around with his penguin. We had the chance a couple of weeks ago to go to an Astros game using our friend's law firm's amazing seats. I guess they couldn't find anyone to use them that night so we were happy to take advantage. Obviously, they were in a great location, and also included were unlimited sodas and a great buffet spread. Yum.

All in all, a good start to the summer.
