Catching up.

Have you ever had that feeling where you've been hit by a truck? Ok maybe not that bad - but your skin hurts? On Sunday I came down with whatever was keeping William subdued all day Saturday. It's fun! A nice unproductive cough, and you don't want to do anything but rest! But I guess that's what you're supposed to do when you're sick. Happily, Evie has been most helpful recently, and Matt was here to take care of the little ones. William wasn't much trouble because he hasn't been feeling too hot himself.

Some things that have happened recently:

- The baby robins are no more. They were there last Sunday when I got back from Austin, and when I went out to take a picture on Monday afternoon, the nest was empty. It never occurred to me to worry about them, but apparently it had been on Matt's mind. Evie is choosing to believe they all learned to fly away extra early :)

- If you missed it, we finished our master bathroom! Mostly. Go HERE to read all about it.

- It appears the rain and cool weather we've been having has passed! Welcome to hot, humid Virginia and dead grass :)

Speaking of hot, humid Virginia - when I was in Austin last week, Vivienne met us in baggage claim wearing the CUTEST hat! And I thought to myself, THAT is the answer to my summer hair problems. Or at least part of the answer. She's big on hot rollers. Anyway - as I have no hair talent, and a big giant head, I picked up this fedora at Kohls today - men's section of course, all the ladies' are 'one size fits most' - but not me. Now, Matt questions whether I'm edgy enough to wear a fedora out in public. Edgy was his word - he thinks I'm edgy, but apparently not in a fashion way. So I'm going to put it out there for you all - hat? or no hat? And I am going to try and be better at keeping up with blogging - mine, as well as the ones I like to read :)
