For a while we were posting a few items every Wednesday, but that has fallen woefully by the wayside.  Seriously, woefully.  I literally feel woe over this.

This week we are going on a vacation to visit our friends the Wards in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I’d really like to come home to a nice, tidy blog that merely awaits pictures and tales of our vacationary adventures.  (Note: I briefly got excited that the WordPress spellchecker didn’t balk at the word “vacationary,” but then I remembered that I don’t have a spellchecker turned on.)

Wow, this is a long intro.  The point is, um, here’s some stuff:

1. Going to the Circus with Grandmother and Grandad!

Grandmother and Grandad took us to the circus back on August 21.  It was REALLY fun, especially exposing Kaeta to cotton candy (the addiction was instantaneous). There are photos in a new gallery here.

2. Kaeta is silly.

Not that that’s news. Here she is contemplating a career as a contortionist:

3. Our kids are cute.

Jonah loves this play table:

And Kaeta loves to play in this dollhouse, which Karianne’s dad made for Karianne when she was little:

4. The Bishops Came to Visit.

Here are some pics from when the Bishops stayed with us a few weekends ago:

Our families are getting big!

5. Marty is still around here somewhere:

6. I have nothing to add to this.

7. And finally, here’s a glimpse into how Kaeta sleeps at night
