Just Another Manic Monday

Well, some of you have expressed the desire to see something other than James' gruesome hospital pictures when checking my blog. I just hadn't posted recently b/c we hadn't been doing anything exciting... But then I remembered. Blogging is not about excitement. It's just about documenting your everyday life and expecting others to be fascinated. So here's what we're up to this cloudy, thundery Monday.

James, sitting on our couch where he has taken up semi-permanent residence. He eats lunch and claims not to be able to do anything else (most notably a Power Point presentation for school) b/c he is too dizzy - except read cycling magazines, of course.

Jonathan, sporting a goatee, contemplating his next Big Idea in his office (he didn't know I snuck in and took this picture...).

Me, spending three hours "helping" James do his Power Point so that he can turn it in and finish his class. This is my overjoyed expression regarding James' declaration that he "holds himself to a higher academic standard than the other students" and purposefully chose a harder, more in depth topic that he was especially interested in. Too bad I had no interest whatsoever in the topic of choice...
Kip. He is looking forlorn and depressed b/c it is thundering- which is apparently terrifying.

So, that's a glimpse into our day so far. Now, is that fascinating or what?

Anne - this is classic - I laughed heartily the whole way through the post. Can't wait until tomorrow!

definitely an improvement from the james' mangled gore, and especially from his armpit hair...
alyssa seems to think all i do is laugh it up and have a good time since that's what i post about, so you've got a good idea there, anneke. posting the every day sort of boringness makes for a more balanced representation of life.
i especially enjoyed jonathan's pensive pose.
he looks like an amusing fellow. maybe someday our stars will align and we'll get to reunite.

Fasinating and very hilarious. James sure knows how to milk this accident for all it's worth. =) You're a good sister, though.

Bj's wedding was a blast. It was quite possibly the raddest part of "The Summer of Jonathan"...Please tell James I was praying for him. Glad to see he's doing better.

SO, Yeah! We are coming to see you...and to pick up our new kid. Please tell me you aren't going away during the month of September! That would figure wouldn't it?! Tell James to mark his calendar too.

I LOVE this post. So fun. You are hilarious! Tell James I hope he feels better soon. That accident looked pretty bad. I was telling Adam all about it....really dramatically....and he doesn't believe me how bad it is, so I told him I'll show him the pictures to proove it. : )

I love the picture in which you are looking so thrilled to be helping James with his project/paper!

Jonathan trying to be like Chris with a goatee? I like it on him. Of course Jonathan is a cutie no matter what. I always told Chris, that the goatee helps with thinking up big ideas, but when it came time to steal a kiss, it was too prickly!
