Update

I have been woefully delinquent in blogging, but I do have excuses: the bride and the groom from last weekend's wedding stayed with us for a night en route to their honeymoon, and Meredith is leaving for St. Louis tomorrow. On that last point I'm sad. This has been a great summer for us. We haven't lived in the same place since I left for college twelve years ago, and who knows if we ever will again? So I'm very happy we had the chance to spend so much time together now. With my dad not around we don't even bicker. (Do you find that around your parents you and your siblings fall back into the patterns of behavior you exhibited when you were in third grade? Because we definitely do.)

I have a great sister.
