Summer continues...

Owen seemed to be outgrowing his bike so we got him a new one this week. He is very pleased with it.

He also, to our surprise, received a letter from the president. He had sent W an email, asking him to stop the war, a few months ago (also mentioning that he was 7 years old). I never expected anything to come of it, of course. Well, Monday afternoon we got a large envelope with a return address from the White House. Enclosed were a page long letter to Owen on Iraq policy signed by Bush's auto-pen, a page of stickers with pictures of Bush's dog reading "Barney thinks you did a great job!" and an 8x10" photo of Bush.

The kids had a good time punching the photo yesterday. I considered burning it, but that probably would damage our air quality.
