You can thank the iphone!

You can thank the iphone for all sorts of things...

for example:

you can thank the iphone for my lack of posting over the last month. I have been taking pictures of our life, and even coming up with great posts in my head to go with the pictures...but I have not yet figured out how to swiftly transfer my phone photos to blogger. I can email one photo at a time to a blog draft, but I don't really want 20 different posts all about Anna's birthday because I had to email them one at a time. Can anyone help?

Also, you can thank the iphone for my lack of "getting lost" stories. I love the gps and maps feature. There is something so satisfying about watching my blinking blue dot get closer and closer to my destination. Even when I take a wrong turn, I can easily correct myself. I feel more confident and handicapped at the same time. Its like phone numbers. I used to know phone numbers my heart, and now I just stick them on my phone and take no other care further. Its the same with maps. I used to learn (slowly) how to get places, by writing down the directions and getting there on my own steam. Now, I can't go anywhere without the maps on my iphone

You can thank the iphone for Angry Birds. Thank you iphone for Angry Birds. Richard is greatly appreciative of the great entertainment Angry Birds gives him when I try to make him watch dance shows with me!

you can thank the iphone for Richard's successfully training for a half marathon. He can email his work, track his run, listen to his favorite music, and probably play Angry Birds while he runs. As a result, after one week of running, he is already up to 6.4 miles. And he looks pretty awesome in his black running gear (be still my beating heart!!)

So, I am starting anew, and with your help, I can figure out how to blog with my iphone. But until then, here is the short update.

We eat lots of popsicles, play at beaches almost everyday, entertain guests, make pizza, kill spiders (lots of spiders! Do spiders have feelings, I hope not. Bad Karma), travel (to Canada), learn new phrases (Anna kept shouting out "OH GOD!" after the sacrament prayer in church on Sunday...she is so smart and learns so quickly), pick berries berries berries (there are some bushes in my backyard, so I climb up on our storage shed to pick the best ones, or I take a plastic bag on my morning run), eat berries berries berries, do loads and loads and loads of laundry (Anna has begun taking off her diaper whenever she is in her crib-- resulting in many mornings of "Hey Richard, come here, you've got to see this!"), read books (Pinkalicious and more pinkalicious), celebrate birthdays (Richard turned 27 yesterday, capping off his "12 days of Richard's birthday"), and go to Les Miserables (I felt like I was at a rock concert. I was as excited as if I was listening to Bono himself instead of an amazing Jean val Jean), and I am on a semi-haitus from regular legal volunteering (now I just keep to informing toddlers of tort liability on the playgrounds).

there it is. you will get more. later.
