Quick Synopsis of July

I haven't written in awhile, so I'll use this opportunity to give a quick synopsis of the past month:

Early July, Mariah and Tim the German come to visit: The reunion was quite dramatic with each of us running to the clock tower from three geometrically equidistant points concluding with a group hug in the middle. It was both heartwarming and oddly graceful.

Then we went to Perkins & frolfed, the latter meaning we threw frisbees at nets for those of you who don't know. Oh, and we did that part at a park and not at Perkins. FYI.

Late July, Mom and Ellyn come to visit: We went tubing down the painfully slow Chippewa River, which would have been slower had we not made Ellyn and some random kayakers tow us much of the way. Ellyn took the time to reflect upon all the things she does for us on a daily basis such as "saving us from skin grafts, big fish, seaweed, and men."
Mom, ever the responsible parent, was sure to remind Ellyn not to put the lighter from the car in her mouth because she saw someone get burned that way in a movie. Then we devised a pilot for a gameshow called "What's on your Butt?" where contestants compete to discover what out of a selection of objects is on their butt.

Early August, The Boy's Bro's wedding: I wore a pretty dress, The Boy looked positively dapper in his tux, and I pulled something in my hip getting low low low low low low low low. Good times.

Today: I changed a diaper so bad that it brought tears to my eyes and gave me the hiccups.
