Marco....

I haven't written in ages! Time to rectify that! I'm not going to try to remember everything that happened between July and now - I'll just tell the stories as they come to me...

First of all, big congrats to Lizzy-poo and thanks for giving me an excuse to knit baby stuff!

I also have to brag a little bit about how great of a wife I am. :) Chris got his 30th birthday present a little early (August instead of February, but whatever!)

I bought my husband a convertible! Its an '03 Toyota MR2 and the little thing is a totally fun to drive, when I can wrestle the keys out of his hands. It also means he likes driving more and I get to be a passenger, since I used to do most/all of the driving. Now I get to sit back and enjoy the scenery. We actually piled the three of us in there and went for a drive, but Ayla didn't like sitting partly on the floorboard and partly on my lap too much. I can't say that I did either, but its tolerable. We can do short little trips to the park and such, but my Jetta remains the doggy-mobile. I'm not sure if we'll ever take it on a trip since we couldn't take Ayla and there's no storage to speak of, just a little bin behind the seats suitable for a tiny overnight bag (engine is in the back, spare tire under the hood), but its great to do little errands in and for commuting to work.

Its been a good summer, though quick. We spent a lot of time in one of our favorite places, our patio. Here's a little photo story courtesy of Ayla I'll call "How not to sleep on a dog bed"

This looks like it might be comfy...

Wait, I'm not doing it right...

Yeah, definitely not right...
What, you're gonna laugh at me? Buy me a bigger bed!
That's all for now. I'll do my best to keep this current. Toodles!
