If you eat half a bag of Tostitos, with an avocado, is the avocado still healthy?

These are just some things I wonder about. Like what the heck Jewel is doing coming out with a country album. Here are a few new pictures. Not the most exciting pictures ever, but better than seeing the same old thing when you click on the blog. (Which really annoys Ryan Peterson...)

In the first picture it dawns on her what fun she has been missing out on. She then proceeded to climb in and out of the toy box at Aunt Lindy's. (Our home away from home, especially when Dad is gone!)

I realize this is not the cutest picture of Ava, and any advice on the rapidly approaching mullet is greatly appreciated, but I just thought I'd give a little shout out to bibs. I've never been too into them, since as most people know I'm about as NON anal as they come. I told my friend Kristy I'd like to try it for a couple days, though. I bet I'd get a lot done. Anyway, strawberries are one of the great loves of her life, and they show up beautifully on her white shirt! (sorry again, Aunt Jane!)

It was a GORGEOUS weekend so Mark and his cousin Jeff decided it was time to go tubing. There was snow one month ago. I just went for a jet ski ride where my feet got damp and I thought I had frostbite. They said it was because I'm not a "real" DeKorne. Whatever. I'm from Texas. Hence the bewilderment about Jewel.

In an attempt to be anal, or, I guess just somewhat productive, I emptied the dishwasher. I had to get the knives out of Ava's favorite climbing toy! She is quite the monkey. Climbs on or in everything! Pardon the casserole on her face and shirt, but now that I see it, I will have to remember to put that outfit on her next time she eats strawberries!
