Mmmm ... cookies ...



This morning I didn't have to be to work unitl 12.30! We've started our summer hours at Sherman's and are open until 9pm every day excepting Sunday. This being our first week of the late hours, Josh and I decided it would be nice if we spent the morning of our late shift making something for the crew. So today is my day to make something.



I asked Josh what he wanted for goodies and he suggested, "cookies or something worthy of snacking on." Claudette then piped up with, "oh yeah! You could make some chocolate chip cookies and save some for Rachel and I when we come back from our weekend!"



So chocolate chip cookies it is! I just hope they turn out well...



On an arsty note, I decided to try something new with the camera today. I got out the tripod and used the timer to capture me in action. For the first try, I think they came out pretty well!





Have a great weekend!

The new nightly routine...

...does not make our kitten very happy. (she can be seen here completely ignoring us)



I know this isn't a very clear picture but our camera does not do action very well.



And the reason for said action:



That's right .. we have a Wii. And Phil and I have been ending our evenings playing tennis. It really is quite fun and takes a bit of energy. And by a bit I mean A LOT. By the end of the match we're usually removing clothes...



It's definitely a good time but Miko is sure to let us know when bedtime is approaching. She is not a happy camper when her schedule gets interrupted.



Not an exciting post by any means, but this is life at the Jackson house lately. With me now working full-time again and Phil pulling extra shifts, this is just about all we have energy for. If anyone out there is managing more excitement we'd love to hear about it so we can live vicariously through you... :o)

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

We're still here...

So we haven't fallen off the face of the earth. We've just been super busy this week. This was my first week at my new job (2 more days to go!) and adjusting to a new schedule has been interesting. I'm used to sleeping until 10 or 11 am. But this week I've been up at 7.30 or earlier every morning. I am completely exhausted! But it's getting better. And the job is very good so far. Phil has been busy, too. He picked up a shift on his day off plus has Reserves this weekend. Ten days of work without a break. I don't know how he does it!

On a different note, we picked a wedding date last night! So mark it in your calendars ... June 13, 2009!! We are both very excited!! Now the planning can begin!

I'll leave you with a few pictures of Phil's Mother's Day adventures...








Hope everyone has a great weekend!
