Yes, that's mommy under there.
Sure, they look cute here, but you never know when they might snap!
Some mornings start a little too early around here.
What are YOU lookin' at?
Can you help us identify this crazy, creepy bug we found on the front porch today? It was about 2" long with antennae included.Update: Awesome Aunt Pat is working on this for us! We forgot...Uncle Bob is a bird guy, not a bug guy! Good thing we have such smart, talented aunties and uncles!!
The verdict: According to Aunt Pat, it appears to be a Giant Spine-headed Bug (Acanthocephala Diclivis)! How cool is that?! Thanks Aunt Pat!
Quite possibly the world's cutest gardener

Cucumbers
Cherry tomatoes
Giant tomato
The "newborn" edamame are so fuzzy and adorable!
Japanese eggplantNot all is peachy in the garden, however...evil little caterpillars have devoured the leaves of our rutabaga plants, our pole beans have mysterious yellow leaves and we've given up on the cilantro. This was the second year we've attempted to grow cilantro but it just immediately goes to seed in this ridiculously hot climate. Maybe we'll give it another try in the fall.
I couldn't resist posting a few more aquarium photos. These were taken by Jeffrey Neal...aren't they gorgeous?! By the way, we're not sure if Eliza is doing her best manta ray imitation or throwing gang signs.
Not surprisingly, Eliza finds the flowers much more interesting than the herbs and vegetables.
Seamus spent most of the weekend drenched in sweat.

Paul and Jeffrey running the children around the back yard in a failed attempt to exhaust them into an early bedtime.
Very much like the Kennedy clan, the Neal family has never turned down a rousing game of football on the lawn. Please forgive the trippy perspective, Eliza took most of the photos.
The Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the world. Now, don't you wish you lived here?
Kyle and Eliza looking like they've just been surprised by a giant whale shark.

We had an awesome and exhausting weekend with the Neals! In fact, I'm too tired to post a bunch of pics tonight, so I hope this suffices to tide everyone over until tomorrow.
Daddy's awesome birthday cake designed by Eliza because, "Daddy is a really good baseball player."
Daddy blowing out a scented candle because Mommy spaced on the birthday candles.
Willa thinks Daddy can sometimes be very needy.
Both goatees are cute, but only one is made of delicious chocolate pudding.
Eliza has given the new picnic table a big thumbs up! Here she is, post-swim, enjoying a nice al fresco dinner.
We finally got the trellises up on the garden beds to the great joy of the beans and zucchini which have been wandering aimlessly for weeks.
Paul built a little patio under the sandbox today, so we had to empty the sand into the wheelbarrow. Willa didn't let that little detail stand in her way. A girl's got to create.
Eliza often looks like this when Audrey has the hose.
