first blog from a new location - friday, Kim and i were able to move all of our computer equipment, a desk, and a couple chairs into our new office in the garage. the office is now functional. the setup is just temporary as i have our desktop on a banquet table we're using until we're able to get something more permanent in the space. my commute has changed tremendously - i now have to walk more than 4 steps to get to the office, and i even have to put shoes on to do it. :)
also, the 3 H's decided to pay a visit to NJ this weekend - hazy, hot, and humid. it was upper 90s saturday and sunday, and is expected to push 100 today. that is the beauty of NJ weather. we went right from winter to mid summer temps almost overnight. there wasn't much of a spring to enjoy this year. we spent just about the entire weekend inside under the protection of our central AC. it may have been different had i been able to get the pool open when i wanted to, but it's still got the cover on, and it doesn't look like it will be open unless i take a day off and knock it out. the heat this weekend didn't help Kim at all. the baby didn't appear to like the hot weather, and made sure he/she let Kim know. the baby was moving around like crazy all weekend and showed no signs of stopping this morning. i'm not sure if the baby wanted to get out to enjoy the hot weather, or if it was banging on Kim to tell her to turn on the AC in her belly.
finally, Kim gave me a new lens for our camera for my birthday this weekend. it's a 50mm lens that basically blurs everything in the background of your picture (sometimes referred to as bokeh). some pics taken with the new lens:

Hi Doug
I love Raynor Shine. Your pics are incredible, your updates are interesting and informative. What I especially appreciate is the creation of this diary for Your/Our family. Thanks so much.
I'm adding this:
Charlie Wisdom:
Charlie and I play with match box cars all the time....I mean ALL THE TIME!! He calls this activity "Car World". The cars in Car World have the same experiences that Charlie has such as falling down stairs, time outs, fear of monsters, etc. His passion is not limited to match box cars but to all things with wheels and engines. On the highway he can name every truck and its purpose and can identify his neighbors' cars on the road or parked in a parking lot.(without the neighbor in it).
Recently when we were driving to his cousin Ryan Ashley's house, we saw 5 buses and 5 trucks. A jackpot for a short trip. Charlie could not believe our good fortune and commented: "Mimipat can you ever imagine a world of just trucks and buses? I would call that world 'Charlie's Truck World and Bus World'. What a world that would be!! I would really love to live in a world like that! Maybe some day I will, or maybe someday I'll make a world like that myself and everyone can live there with me. Can you imagine that?"
I can't catch all his comments but I do try. I carry around post it notes at all times.
Charlie is wise beyond his years and his pure joy with life's simple pleasures inspires me every day.
Love,
Mom
