the desert

before hitting the theme park circuit we spent a nice week in the desert ... the weather could have been more deserty, but the company was nice, the food was good and my kids had a great time.  a huge thank you to kathy for all the fun things she arranged for the boys and also everything she did with & for both of them ... she definitely earned her "great kathy" gold stars while we were there.  here are a few (totally random now that i'm looking at all of them together) pictures from the trip:  [... ummm, i can't figure out how to type under each of them, so here's a quick rundown starting with the top photo ... 1) my grandpa & kathy have these great decorative birdhouses in front of their house, their color is a nice contrast to the desert scene 2) kathy with the boys in the backyard 3) my angel of a mother with aidan 4) their dog red (who, i'm happy to say, survived our visit) 5) my grandpa taking the boys (and me) for a drive in the golf cart 6) my grandpa and aidan (i love this picture) 7) a random hotel room shot of jack 8) jack and my grandpa 9) aidan in the backyard at night]

Amy your blog is humorous and your photos are amazing. I've enjoyed reading it. Tell me please what kind of camera you are using....I'm having serious photo envy.

By the way, this is Jessica who used to work for Geo & Jenny....found your blog through Clattie's blog!
Take care, Jessica

hey jessica - yeah, since you're picture is attached to your message, you were pretty safe in me remembering you! it also helps that i blog stalked you through clattie last week or so -- so goes the world of public socializing :) ... anyway, get my email address from clattie or jenny and i'll give you my camera and lens info (i got lots of good advice from other people before i bought anything, so i'll just pass along what others told me). hope you're well and doing your best at your budget shopping! i'd last 4 days tops - ha! amy
