The front of our house has gotten a makeover, lots of playing with our new pup, get-togethers with friends, lots of wedding celebrations, & even a lil’ picnic on campus Sunday afternoon. Here are a few shots from the last week (just click ’em to enlarge).

Thanks Ya’ll!

I’m not going to get into all of the bloody details just yet, but for the two people out there in the world who don’t already know, Todd got hurt pretty bad Tuesday night playing softball. I feel sort of bad saying this since it didn’t happen to me, but it was honestly one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I finally understand the feeling behind when my dad always says, “I hurt when you hurt” whenever I’ve been really sick.

A couple days, a broken nose, a gallon of blood, a broken bone-under-the-eye, and a temporarily blind left eye later, Todd is recovering nicely. He’s on strict bedrest though, so he’s been able to blog it up over at crasymaker.com. Check that out for the full story and plenty of pretty pictures.

I mostly just want to say THANK YOU over and over to everyone! You all have been so kind and generous. And I’ll never stop saying thanks to Eric and Laura. For real, ya’ll are amazing.

Extra Long Cape Man, who wrapped his extra long cape around folks. Apparently, even when he went to the bathroom his cape was so long that it trailed all the way outside.
