Our first big shock came a few weekends back, when we so unwisely went camping. One might prepare for warm days and mild nights in June. And prepare we did (or didn't, as the case may be), because we left our subzero sleeping bags and puffy down jackets at home, and opted instead for hoodies and light blankets. Now, perhaps our judgment was clouded by the fact we were taking our cozy little camper and would not be relegated to sleeping on the ground. Perhaps that was the fatal misstep. Because we, to put it bluntly, froze our asses off.
By midnight the thermometer was plunging toward 20. What little body heat we did retain went into keeping sweet Sadie Simonton warm and toasty between us. She actually slept rather well, wrapped in every available blanket we had. Reid and I on the other hand...well, let's just say: thank god we have a sense of humor.
Despite zero sleep and frostbitten fingers, I managed to take this picture when the sun came out the following morning:
These two girls are impossibly cute together. They really are the bestest of buddies, and will happily play for hours on end, oblivious to the adults around them. I love watching them grow up together!

In other Bend news, what's the deal w/ the pregnant man? Has he/she had the baby yet???
I think he/she is due in July. Funny, I was just thinking about him/her this afternoon...I heard a radio commercial for their business (Define Normal T-Shirts) while I was driving home!
