Drama this weekend: an eight-hour torrential rainfall on Saturday flooded our basement (very badly) and drove a refuge-seeking squirrel into our furnace ducts.
Steve trapped it in a bag he had tied to one end of the ducts and the squirrel was safely released into the wilds of our suburban backyard.

And one more!

Alice’s first baseball game

DC has a great new baseball stadium and the last weekend of July we got fantastic first-row seats, right behind the dugout. Alice was a trooper and stared at the stadium lights all night.
