Sarah is still looking beautiful.

We have been doing our normal thing here in Alamogordo. Our dog was spayed last week and then got infected, but now she is doing fine. Work is VERY slow for me.

We are having a bit of trouble with our lawn this year. The grass doesn't seem to be waking up for the summer, and only 1 of the 4 rosebushes that I transplanted has survived so far, and its future doesn't look so good. The flowers that we tried to plant are completely dead, and it is hard to tell that they were ever there at all. This summer the state of New Mexico is winning.

We found out last Thursday that we're going to have a girl, and we can't be more excited. I was excited all along, and our baby was a girl all along, but it is fun to know. So we are now looking for female forms of Zebulon. So far we have heard Wilhelmina and Jess. Please post any and all suggestions in the comments below where they will promptly be ignored.


In other news, we got our Oreck air purifier in the mail today. The jury is still out as to whether it actually does anything or not, but the sentence will be the same either way; we're going to box it back up within a week and send it back. We ordered it only for the free dust-buster on a stick that comes just for trying it. It's been fun, Oreck.
