Born on the Fourth of July!

What a slacker I am! I've thought about updating numerous times lately, but actually doing it? Ok, so here goes...

Work has been good. The boys have been growing bigger and progressing nicely.

Life outside work is good as well. For Independence Day (btw, Happy Independence Day everyone! Our beautiful country is now 232 years old!) , Tom, Margo, and I met Kate in Logan. We then found a campsite near Tony Grove in Logan Canyon. We spent the next two days playing in and around Bear Lake. We played in the water, explored Minnetonka Cave (all 888 stairs!), and generally just enjoyed each others' company. The break was nice. It was also great to spend time with family and 'family-to-be-in-law' (as they introduced Margo in RS on that Sunday :)).

For some reason, my immune system seems particularly weak this year. I just get over one illness when my body breaks down again. I really don't know why and I guess it's kind of worrying me that I'm getting so sick so often. I hate going to doctors, though, and am determined to ride it out for now.

Oh! I almost forgot! I've had a little addition to my furry family! Figaro, a 'tuxedo' kitten...about 3 months old now, came to live with us this past month. He's a complete bundle of energy, literally bouncing off furniture, trying to climb my plants, and into any and everything. My hope is that he will be a good companion for Oliver when Gizmo leaves. Right now, Oliver doesn't want much to do with him, but I think he'll gradually warm up.
