ramona started her tennis lessons,
while the little brothers enjoy a courtside chat (this no doubt turned into courtside chain-link fence climbing like, literally, a MINUTE after taking this picture).
grandpa and ramona unsuccessfully coaxed a cow with clover,
and ramona keeps taking pictures of james with our phones. james keeps stripping down to his underwear (or to his birthday suit) and running around. always running around. here he is, in his underpants, no doubt mid-run, hovering there for a split second on his tip toes.
david and i had a run in with some representatives of the dark side,
and the kids have been brave enough to swim in the algae-bloom of lake mendota (i have not been so brave).
a sick day was had, all bundled up with fever and sweatshirts on the floor of daddy's office. (don't worry--this illness was unrelated to swimming in lake mendota. we are 95% sure of that.)

rhubarb orange marmalade has been cooked and canned (and it is so so so good).
there was even a little baseball.

somewhere in between it all, we catch up on our sleep.
