Grrr

It seems the ghostly fingers of something-or-other are reaching out through cyberspace and touching us. Comments are appearing here on our blog from sites such as "online gambling" and "lottery numbers". They must be automated, because they seem to appear immediately after a post.

Please go ahead and delete them permanently. What a pain! It's fun to get comments from (the few) friends who read us, so I don't want to disallow comments unless I have to.

Anyone else know anything about this??

One thing leads to another...

So after we got the Wii, I thought it would be nifty to play it on a big-screen TV. (Another major consideration was that the living room stays about ten degrees cooler than the family room--more comfortable for TV-viewing in the evening.)

Then the new TV necessitated new furniture...and the next thing will be new carpeting--after the dog is fully potty-trained!

Finally Moved In!

It seems like it took forever, but we finally are in our new condo and paying a mortgage instead of rent! Thanks to Mommy for coming and helping with lots of unpacking! We love it and will be posting new pictures of it (with our stuff instead of the old pictures on the seller's blog). Although we're not terribly fond of HOA's, the one we're in is pretty good, we have a pool, playground, workout room, the grounds and buildings are maintained regularly--in fact even though our buildings are a few years old than the condo-complex right next to us, ours looks significantly newer because the HOA is on top of keeping things up. Charlie has gotten a little territorial of the condo, but with the advice of the lady on "It's Me or the Dog" we're working on some behavior modification to stop him from barking when people come to the door and waiting a few feet from the door while we open it so he doesn't charge at visitors to try and smell them. Anyway, I should get back from my lunch, I'll post more on our blog (http://mattnbreannastevens.blogspot.com/) later.

Cute kids!

Betty, I took the liberty of posting the pictures you sent.
Congratulations, Alia and Brian!!

Julybugs?

It's a little late for these critters--they're not affixing themselves to the screen door anymore--but Asher found one in the grass. I tried to upload a video of him torturing it, but it was taking WAY too long. Here are some stills.
