i am a bad blogger.

there. i've said it. as much as i love to read other people's blogs, i don't have the ability to update mine even every few days. i will try to be better. even if we're not doing anything too exciting.
we've been grilling a lot. mckinlee has decided she likes steak, so we've been grilling lots of steak and chicken. chris and i like to sit on the back porch and talk while the meat's cooking. good times.
mckinlee made these little pom-pom kitties the other day. cute, huh?

cosmo picks the oddest places to relax. lately it's been on this wooden stool.

the rain on my banana plant looked so pretty i had to snap a quick picture.

another project mckinlee has been experimenting with. she bought this kit to make your own rock candy and learn how crystals form. it was fun but as with most do it yourself kits, it did not look like the beautiful sugar crystals on a wooden stick! i told her we should have bought a stick of rock candy for $1, but she likes experimenting!

see? not a lot of exciting stuff. but a fun summer, nonetheless. will post more pictures later. promise.
