My Little Brother

This summer my little brother came to live in Virginia while he did an internship at Exxon Mobil. We had a great time with him while he was here. Here's a picture of him when he was still my little brother (he's in the middle).

Wade really liked getting to know his Uncle Airmarcus.

Halfway through the summer, he married Amy and brought her out to Virginia.




And they lived happily ever after.

Olympic Scoring?

Is anyone else out there a little ticked at the scoring when it comes to women's gymnastics? I have been so perturbed watching this week. First off, with the individual vault...how do you still get a medal IN THE OLYMPICS when you fall on your landing? Oh yeah, that girl was from China, so she had to get a medal. And then, with the uneven bars, you get the EXACT same score but China once again beats out the USA with no explanation??? And come on, who actually thinks those Chinese girls are 16? Does anyone else feel this way?

Football

So who doesn't get excited for football season? On Saturday, we got tickets to go to the Redskins pre-season game. We have been wanting to go to a game for so long, but they are usually on Sundays, so we haven't been able to go. We were very excited to go to this one. Wade even put his Clinton Portis jersey on, what a stud! The Redskins managed to pull off a win 17-14. Hopefully that's a good omen for the rest of the season. Wade also turned 7 months old. He has been sitting up on his own for a few weeks now and loves the freedom to play with his toys.

With the Olympics on, we also broke our streak of not watching TV this summer. We have pretty much been Olympic bums the last few days. Wade gets so worn out watching, he can barely hang on. This is how I found him the other day. Gotta love it!

Laughing

We have had so much fun hanging out with family this summer. Wade loves it when his Uncle Mark makes him laugh.
