a boy and his tractor
I've got a backlog of pictures from the Michigan trip which Tonya is hammering on me to post, so they'll keep trickling in until Graham and Mia are in their late 20's at the rate I get these uploaded.
Otherwise, how's life with us in NoVA? Loud. Everyone made a huge deal last summer about the invasion of the cicadas (or "Chica-das" as Tiago called them, which I then adopted as my own. The pronounciation, not Tiago.) Let me tell you that this summer is no different-- We risk hearing loss if we step out onto our porch any time past dusk. I'll have to record them so that all can appreciate the cacophony. Ok, I probably won't, I just wanted to use the word "cacophony."
Katrina has hit hard. I was looking at CNN not long ago and it's grim. Pray. Dad Klause (aka Papa Tractor) is super-busy with FEMA rallying the troops and getting the home inspectors on the scene to provide shelter/financial aid. He's exhausted-- but we're proud of you Dad! They've got a great man for the job.
