Ribbit. 181/365

Look who was living in our magnificent swimming pool! Jordan found "Jean-Bob" (of Swan Princess fame) basking in a tiny puddle of stagnant water in one of the folds of the pool.

Who's winning? 180/365

One of the first things we did upon arriving home after our trip to Minnesota is to purchase a ladder ball set. The girls and I had fun playing this at Rachel's and Grandpa John's houses and we've played many family games in the past week and a half since we've been home.

He's baaaaaaack! 179/365

I was very happy to see my favorite squirrel back on the deck. Although this time he was laying on his belly in the sun as opposed to last time in the shade.

Candy Bar. 178/365

Madison has always loved to set up a store. Sometimes it's a balloon or art store, but most of the time it's a candy store. Santa even brought her a store-front a couple of years ago. I love the name she came up with this time - Candy Bar. She finds all of the candy hiding in the house and skillfully displays it. Each item is priced to move and she is quite the sales girl. She told me she didn't want to be in the picture because she was in her pajamas, but after I snapped the shot, I noticed a sweet little face behind the candy jar.

Thriller. 177/365

The girls and I have been listening to the news stories about Micheal Jackson since last night. Jordan, in particular, likes his music since many of his songs were featured in her school play this past March. Here they are reinacting the "Thriller" dance while listening to my vinyl album (a gift from my aunt 1982/83).

Dill. 176/365

I love dill - in a chip dip, in potato salad, with sour cream on a baked potato, in a sauce with salmon, in harvati cheese, and growing in my garden. Last year the caterpillars ate my entire plant before I was able to harvest any of it.

Lookin' Good. 175/365

I never noticed these signs before today and God knows we've made many visits here since January. In this photograph are the windows of Jordan's pediatric edocrinologist's first floor offices (though I didn't intend to photograph those). We definitely received good help here at St. Mary's Hospital. Jordan had her three month appointment today (since receiving her insulin pump) and things are lookin' good.
