WE ARE THE JOSLINS

BIG NEWS!!!

(This is Sophie sitting on the steps of the bridge that goes over the lake by our house.
Yes, we are in walking distance from a lake. A man-made lake-- but it's water!)

Sophie went down a slide ALL BY HERSELF! I know this may not sound big or important to you, but it is. Sophie is the most cautious creature I've ever met. While other kids at the playground are doing dare-devil stunts, Sophie just enjoys watching. She never liked to go down the slide unless I went down with her (and even then I had to persuade her to do it). So imagine my surprise and delight when without a word from me Sophie sits down at the top of the slide and tells me to catch her.

Here's Sophie being happy in our backyard.

Okay, so now about The Move. For those of you who don't know, we moved away from Tucson (tear). We now live in The Great Valleeey (I found it! (I hope someone just caught my allusion right there. It's from Land Before Time if you don't know)). I don't like to say exactly where since we are on the Internets but you get the idea.

Here's a pic showing that I am starting to make our house more homey.
Actually I just liked that you could see my reflection/shadow in the picture.

More pictures of our home to come...

Now for news about AMAZON-AMAZINGNESS!!!!

Me with Mr Darcy, Elizabeth Bennett and Emma. I LOVE BBC. Also with two great books Deep Blue and Devil's Cub.

Dave with his geek-gear.

I traded in 3 or 4 text books with Amazon and look at all the stuff we got from them!! I still have more amazon credit to spare and more books to trade in for amazon credit.
