For Giggles

Not much new to report in our household. We had a pretty lazy weekend, and spent about two hours in Andra's new favorite playing spot...our bed. Here's a funny video of her playing with Pudge's toy. She thought it was SO FUNNY when he'd jump up and put his paws on the bed to grab the toy. I love hearing her giggle...it's one of the BEST sounds in the world! (And yes, those are "boy" Thomas jammies she's wearing. I gave up finding Thomas Train underwear, so the jammies are the best I could do. A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do!)



The other new development in my family is that my little brother leaves for Australia this week! He'll be spending two months of his summer vacation "studying" in Sydney! Lucky guy, huh? It was a selective program, so I'm really proud of him for being chosen. Being a homebody myself, I also think it takes guts to travel halfway around the world alone. I also studied abroad in my college years, but I went with my big sister...so I had a travel companion genetically obligated to hang out with me. :)

Jonathan is a social butterfly (can a boy be a "butterfly?"), so I have no doubt he'll be making friends quickly in the land down under...if not on the plane. You can follow all his adventures on his blog "Boiler Outback," which he promises to update frequently! (did you hear that, Jonathan? FREQUENTLY) http://www.boileroutback.blogspot.com/
You'll find a link to his blog just to the left of this post...under "My Fellow Bloggers." Bon Voyage, JD! We love you and will miss you! Bring us back something really cool. :)
