back in the fire

we're back into midwestern swing of things. the house survived, the plants survived and so did the cicadas... we had a great trip and we already miss it. endless food, amazing places to see, no doing dishes, room service...we'll put up pictures on snapfish soon and send out links.

for now, it's back to the grind. i came back to a 13 hour day yesterday so i'm not too thrilled about that, but the positive side is i was too busy to care about jet lag!

on other news, lily named the kittens. the one with the white paws is Scout and the other one is Roxy. they're both doing well and probably 25% bigger than 2 weeks ago! still cute though...
