Dino Dave

Look at that! I was able to find a good picture of David.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE DAVID!

CHEEEESE!

Jake really likes to take pictures. Since I just barely got him to turn the camera around and take them the correct way I have to make it worth his while.

Migration

Apparently it is migration season for the miller moth. Unfortunately for me, this feels like a major infestation of nasty, flopping, brown insects. They are everywhere! In the past three days, I have vacuumed ten off the floor, seen fifteen trapped between the glass door and the screen, and been attacked by twenty-five (at least) when I opened the hot tub lid. I've screamed so much out of surprise that Josh is now quite wary of this harmless yet annoying moth. Thanks to CSU's extension services I now understand that these lovely creatures move east to west during the first weeks of June to reach higher elevation. The migration lasts two to three weeks. Ugh! Only 14 more days to go! Oh, and they are not susceptible to pesticides. Besides, "any moths killed will rapidly be replaced by new moths that migrate into the area nightly. " Yuck.

Oh Shoot

Does this mean I have to dig out a picture of David in ten days?

It's June 1st

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT SUSAN!

My New Style

With the announcement of my new position, I thought I'd do a little makeover too. You are looking at the new Mountain View Core Knowledge School music/band/computer/math teacher! (Talk about your filler position). Actually, this was for crazy hair day during spirit week. The job is real though. It was fun to do something silly even though I kept hitting door frames with my hair. The kids at school were very surprised and Jake thought it was a riot. The first thing Josh asked was, "How do you get it back to normal?" Very good question, Josh.

Easter Peeps

What is Easter without Peeps? Just a little play-by-play of Jake's first exposure to some marshmallow bunnies.
