July 10, 2010: Family Dog Walk

Tessa doesn't get to walk outside very often due to her aggression (to put it mildly) with other animals. The only time I will walk her is with Justin, and Justin rarely will go. Tyler, though, is very persuasive!

Tyler adopted "Charlotte," a dwarf hamster, from the pet store today. He is very excited!

Tyler and I have a tradition: coffee house dates. He likes having the opportunity to drink a vanilla bean frappachino (sp.?) over conversation INSIDE Starbucks. Here we are on our traditional coffee outing.

July 7, 2010: Egg McWilliams

I get to make Tyler breakfast when he gets up in time. Here is my "Egg McWilliams."

Today I presented information on the Tanzanian school system to Ypsilanti Jaycees and community members. Justin was the photographer here. There were about 12 people in attendance, including three kids--not too bad.

July 5, 2010: A Full Day

Justin had today off from work. Tyler, he, and I went swimming in a lake, hiking, and metal detecting (got about 30 cents today)--a full day. Here are some shots of us, including Tyler and me with bugs attacking our heads.

July 4, 2010: Happy Fourth of July!
