I see by your outfit ...

It's hard to look at Owen in his fireman outfit and not think about the Smothers Brothers brilliant rendition of The Streets of Laredo. I couldn't find a performance of the original anywhere online, but this will give those of you who are not in the know an idea.

You're going to love these videos.





We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our seventh anniversary. While no desk sets exchanged hands, we did have a fun time in Chicago. Owen spent the weekend with his grandpa and nana Aalberts, and Amy and I went downtown to see "Wicked," eat a nice dinner out, shop, and stay in a hotel with no reason to wake up early in the morning. We missed our little Owen, but had a great time.

Summer is fading fast, so we must make the most out of every pool visit and Popsicle on the front stoop until Labor Day ushers in the start of autumn. Owen has been a good helper watering our parched lawn (not surprising given his firefighter training). And he's enjoying being back in his room, following last week's painting and carpet cleaning.
