We have a bug problem in our backyard. The people who lived here before us did not take care of the yard, so it is a jungle back there. A landscaper came and mowed the back yard THREE TIMES (because it was so overgrown) right before we moved in. Still, the bugs have taken over, and our poor kids are covered in bug bites all over their arms and legs. It's gotten to a point where I'm embarrassed to take them in public because I'm afraid people are going to call CPS on me. (Actually it's gotten better--we bought two tubes of anti-itch cream, and the kids have to wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts whenever they go outside now--but it was pretty bad for a couple days.)

| We went to Chuy's for some Mexican food a week or two ago. They put us out on the patio under a tree. A bird pooped on Lizzie's picture that she had colored, and Heidi got a surprise visit from a caterpillar. (You can only kind of see it in the picture.) Still, we'd recommend the place. Fun ambiance and good food. |

| This tree is at our church building. It has been hollowed out by termites. Liz wanted me to take her picture. (Um. Okay.) |

| Poor little lizard somehow got inside our house and was desperate to get back outside. I think he was terrified of us giants. But no worries, we set him free. |
one thing i don't miss about texas is all of the bugs. i think because michigan is so cold for a lot of the year that there are few bugs
