Sunday mornings w/ the Lloyds

Not much to report from the Lloyd home this week since Tori is in Idaho at girl's camp.

I had hoped to enjoy a week of not making the bed or doing the dishes, but we had another showing of our condo the other day, so that plan was over before it even started.

In the meantime, please enjoy this picture of Wes from last weekend.  Our Sunday mornings usually consist newspapers scattered across the living room, and he loves to play in the mess.  Since he was already dressed like a newspaper editor from the 1980's, I thought it deserved a picture. (It was not an intentional style choice- his top button was open and his sleeves were rolled because his church shirt doesn't fit anymore)

Who needs Baby Einstein?  Our kid is already reading the New York Times.

Peanuts

Lately, Wesley has been working on a character study from the comic strip Peanuts.  He's been carrying a blanket around everywhere, playing in the dirt a lot and banging on piano keys wherever they're within his reach.

For Sale

We've decided to take the plunge into home sellership and put our condo on the market.

Saturday morning, we cleaned and organized and took stuff to storage and generally got the place looking better than it ever has before so that our realtor could take photos for the listing.  

That reminded me that we originally bought it, I saved a copy of the listing photos and it has been interesting to look back at them and realize that we've changed every square inch of this place in the 4.5 years that we've been here.  We probably won't make back a penny of the money we've put into it thanks to the tanking economy, but we've had a lot of fun along the way and look forward to new adventures in a new house as soon as we find a new owner for our home.

24 Hours in Idaho

Breakfast and entertainment on the way up to Tyler's family reunion. Maybe strawberries aren't the best choice for traveling foods for babies.

For some reason, although my children did not go to bed until way past bedtime, they managed to wake-up before anyone else. We ate bananas in the tent to keep them quiet.

When the bananas didn't work, we toured the great town of Melba where the reunion was held. It was small and quaint. Apparently, Melba is the "Seed Heart of the USA." I'm not sure what that means.

This was main street. Two bars, a pawn shop, and a game of horse shoes. Classic.

On, the way home we stopped by Tyler's great-grandparents' graves.

We also took a pit stop at Shoshone Falls. They were beautiful, but that was all that was there. We stayed a total of 15 minutes. Next time, we'll have to take a sack lunch.
