Another week, another alien invasion

Not much to report this week. Logan and I have both been sick with colds. We've been passing the same one back and forth between us. Lovely, huh? This is the worst one I've had in years, but I think I'm finally on the way to being well again.

We saw this really neat bug in our front yard yesterday, and I had to take some photos of it. I took a few minutes to look around on Google for something that looks like it, and I'm almost certain it's a katydid. It's amazing how well its body is designed to perfectly mimic a leaf. I was surprised when it flew away. It looked like it was too big to fly! Logan was trying to pretend that he was scared, but he really was intrigued by the little guy. I'll probably have something more exciting to post in the next few weeks. My 30th birthday is this coming Friday, and I've got lots of fun stuff planned to celebrate. Now if we can just get well...
