Hello again
Let's see, what do i have to report?
Well, my job is going well, Andy's job is going well, Sofia's doing well in school. What else? Oh, right, i fell off a 12-foot wall last Saturday.
I was at the top of a climbing wall about 12 feet up in the air, and i fell onto a 6-inch pad, which was on a cushioned floor. Not bad, right? Nothing broken anyway. My back is killing me though, and that cushioned floor and mat? Felt like a rock. I was actually really scared at how much it hurt when it happened, and i was in tears until i got home and took a really hot bath. I frightened Sofia and Andy like you wouldn't believe.
We were at the climbing gym, because we are encouraging Sofia's current rock climbing mania. She took a rock climbing camp over the summer and really enjoyed it; the instructors at the gym are impressed with her talent for climbing, and we feel like it would be really good for her to continue with it. She will soon be going on a weekly basis, once i get myself back over there to sign her up for it. I'm not sure if i will be trying climbing again.
On Sunday we met up with Joe, our wedding photographer, to have our family photo session (he offers a free engagement session with every wedding package, so we opted to use it for a family session instead). The three of us met him down at Gasworks Park, and we all felt really awkward being photographed by a professional in public. We should have the proofs from this session and the wedding by the end of this week, and i can't wait to see them.
That's all i can think of right now, so i will leave you with some pretty pictures i took a couple of weeks ago at the Ballard Locks (AKA Hiram M. Chittenden locks) -- as always, a few more photos are available on Flickr:
The scary part was not seeing you fall. I've seen people fall from that that height before. I've fallen from that height before.
The scary part was seeing you fall right on the the small of your back and watching you crumple.
*cringe*
But you're back on the feet and ready to be my house-slave again. That's all that matters.

It wasn't the undignified screaming that scared you?

I wasn't going to be the one to bring it up in public...

Is there dignified screaming?
