It was 95 degrees outside this afternoon. Even our air conditioned house was hot and the dogs were less than enthusiastic so Jon thought he would help them out a little by keeping their drinking water cool with ice cubes. No such luck. 
The ice cubes lasted all of 30 seconds - maybe - before Ollie came loping away from his cool spot in front of the air vent and tactfully fished out one cube after another, leaving a very wet trail between the bowl and the kitchen floor where he ate each one. But that wasn't our only run in with water today. In the heavy evening air we decided to water our parched lawn. Since one of our sprinkler heads was askew Jon thought he would fix it while it was running so he'd know when it was right. Again, no such luck. The head proved determined to remain misaligned, and Jon returned looking as though he had fallen in a pool somewhere. Not a bad idea given the weather, though.
And, in baby news - 
Calvin has just outgrown the newborn diapers and will now be wearing the size ones. Calvin is excited about this, but we find it both sad and exciting in the same breath. Things happen too fast - tomorrow he'll be asking to borrow the car!!!
