Swamped!

Blimey! I had forgotten what it is like to do an honest days work. Things have been mad at the lab, hence my total lack of bloggage.

In contrast, life has been quite quiet on the home front. We have been enjoying sunny days in the garden and lazy walks down to the local park for a play and the famous "Scoops on Beverly" for ice cream. Adam went to footy camp again last week, this time at Schenley Park near the University campus, and next week he is going to "Space Camp" at the Carnegie Science Center.

Sharon took the kids to the National Aviary which, according to the homepage is "America’s only independent indoor nonprofit bird zoo" and also home to Elvis the penguin. Adam told me earnestly that he had seen a Speckled "Wobbler" (read warbler) which gave us all a giggle.

As you can see from the piccy below....Soph has got some new sequined footy boots.

PS: thanks to all those who posted comments. Congratulations to Gareth on winning the Pie and a Pint contest.

Hey, Dave and Sharon and Kiddies ... it was nice seeing yunz the other night. Nothing new here. Just watching it rain. We're supposed to go down to South Park tonight to see a free Dar Williams concert. She's a singer/songwriter/guitar chick who we love. But the weather doesn't look good so far. If it clears up, we'll still go.

Gina won two tickets for the Steelers pre-season game tomorrow night and she can't go, so we're gonna go. We love football!

How do you feel about David Beckham playing "football" in America? He's a big hit (at least with the girls ... me included)!

Life surely changes when you have kids, doesn't it? Your two are beauties! Hope to see you soon.

Love, Jo

Hey Jo
It was lovely to see you and Leo the other night AND Leo fixed my car so you can't beat that eh?
Have fun tonight and enjoy the spectacle tomorrow of big men running around in body amour and ladies trousers. I will never understand American Footy. Must be genetic.
