8. 52 degrees in redmond vs. 104 degrees in phoenix.

7.  electronic devices have bedtimes, including andi’s mac. 

6.  i like to take [a lot of] pictures.

5.  living in elli/emma’s pigsty:  an adjustment for andi, no big deal for holly

4.  savannah likes to stare and ask questions;
ray likes to jump.  on you

3.  sharing a double bed with 2 other people

2.  we don’t have cable.  translation:  we can’t watch so you think you can dance.

  1. They will either love or hate that super cute photo of them snuggled up together. It's a toss-up. Let us know which. (If they hate it now, they will most definitely treasure it someday when they're all grown up). Looks like you'll be having lots of fun at your house!

  2. The nieces' "culture shock" was evident at dinner Wednesday night--they watched wide-eyed as your family interacted in its normal, fun and lively way. The month they are with you will give them a life-time of wonderful memories.
