I think we might be boring?

Not that, that's a bad thing really but it doesn't make for fun reading :)

Shane is of course getting busy-er by the day at work. Summer is when they update all the machines, get the campus ready for fall, and keep it going through summer conferences and such. He is however, going to a conference the last week of August/first of Sept. to learn more about "some sort of virtulization thing" (or so I call it) in San Francisco. I have been informed this is a "boys only" work trip and since I am hording money and vacation time right now I'm going to pass on the amazing wine tours and the beautiful redwoods... ahh... someday, right?

I am finishing up my interim progress report at work. This means nothing to most of our readers but for those with federal grants you know I'm a busy bee. I have also learned a few new knitting techniques, and am trying to fit in my guitar practice too... so good stuff.

Macabean is of course being a happy kitty lounging about and enjoying us coming home and being good pillows for him.

This past weekend we were able to get a nice visit in with my sister and her family, my mom, and a few of our Bloomington friends all in one day! Denise, David, and the kiddos happen to be there for a wedding and we were there to celebrate our godson's 4th birthday. Mom came down and it made for a very cool day.. long but good to see everyone.

And guess who hasn't been taking pictures?! Yep, I should be punished in some way. :(
