What we did in July: 14/48, a wedding and hanging around

It's been a very busy month here in the Jensen household. Andy participated in 14/48 http://www.1448fest.com/, where he apparently was naked in one play, and then smashing a guitar in another. (I know this was a big deal because Tommy, Elizabeth's favorite babysitter, told me about it. )

Then he jetted off to Las Cruses NW to attend our friends Patrick and Emma's wedding. We decided that while it would be great to attend as a family in theory, in practice Elizabeth's dislike for heat above 75 degrees would entail staying inside most of the time.

So Andy went and had a college reunion-ish weekend with Pat, Chris, and Aldo, and Nancy stayed home with Elizabeth and visited with friends and family, in between trips to the pool, the gym and of course, the dog park.

Goodnight Gorilla

One of Elizabeth's favorite bedtime stories is "Goodnight Gorilla." Here you can see her and her father making the gorilla and Mama faces, respectively.

Tea Party and the Aftermath

The sun finally came out here in Seattle. Elizabeth has been taking advantage of this by hosting tea parties outside with her doll Baobei and of course Elmo.

The party always starts out in a civilized manner. They devolve quickly. They remind Nancy of several of her single girl adventures.
