July - August 2008 with the Girlies

July and August were terrific months - Jenny came out to see us, we went to Florida to spend a week with Julie and Original Gary (immediately after arriving, the girlies asked if they could start driving slowly, eating dinner at 4:30, and complaining about the government), my Mom spent a couple of weeks in New York, and Kim's Mom and Aunt Mikey spent a week with us at the Jersey Shore.

In August Mimi (the girlies' wonderful nanny) was attacked by a rabid coyote and broke her ankle, (Mimi's ankle, not the coyote's) which ultimately kept her at home recuperating until February. Fortunately, we lucked into a great situation with the lovely Barbara Peoples, who took care of the girlies until Mimi was able to return. And July and August were also good months because at that point the Swiss were still allowing me to show up every day, and in return they would deposit money in my bank account every few weeks.

This, however, would not last.

Below are some pictures and movies and stuff:
