1) Welcome our friends, The Whites, to the world of blogging! We met them when Jonathan and Tim were in grad school at CMU and now we have four kids between us. They have boys, we have girls--it works out for a nice balance.
2) We now have the next-best-thing to a dog. Neighbors with a brand-new Boston Terrier puppy! The girls are fascinated by our new little canine friend, Jack. Regular readers of this blog know that Jack is also the name of Mali's best friend which did cause some confusion at first. Mali was also somewhat put-out by not having all of the neighbors' attention for a while.
3) Speaking of animals, is anyone else locally following the story of the new baby tiger at the Pittsburgh Zoo? Unfortunately, his mother is rejecting him so he is completely bottle-fed and cared for by humans. Mali looks for his picture in the news paper every day. We hope to go visit him soon.
4) We had our DirectTV canceled for the season (which I didn't even know was an option until I called) and now just have local channels. It is working out really well and we will continue with it until Jonathan needs his ESPN fix in the fall. We did just start a Netflix account. Any movie recommendations?
5) Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Gregg are coming for a weekend visit tonight!

For your Netflix enjoyment, I recommend National Treasure. I also believe that National Treasure 2 comes out this weekend. Surprisingly, I've actually been looking forward to this release since I really, REALLY hate movies. That shows how good this movie is---lots of history with just enough action.
I DON'T recommend Michael Clayton starring George Clooney. Not only is Clooney off-the-chart liberal and nutty, but the movie sucks in the end. Kim and I looked at each other and went, "Huh?" Maybe some of your blogger friends can explain it to us if we missed something.
thanks for the blogger welcome! it can be quite time consuming (and who has free time?!) but i think it is nice for family and friends we don't see that often to see what is going on with us! and you are right, it is definitely cheaper than scrapbooking!!
