Why are people so surprised that it's hot outside?

Well July in MD, like usual you are hot and humid.  But for some reasons, general society seems surprised by this, and IMO it's not surprising--it's summer!

AlteLu spent that past two weeks in camp--Art Camp and Tink Camp--both of which were a hit!  We wrapped up swimteam, and had Adam and Fife for a visit, which was lovely.  Last night we went to Shabbat dinner at a friend's house, and they have very sweet dog.  Sender both loved the dog and was simultaneously freaked out by him---kind of like having a lion in your face.

We've received letters from Hersh, and spotted glimpses of him in pictures.  I think he is happy and having fun.  He also looks exhausted. Really miss him, but I think this is the hard part of parenting.  Hopefully he is happy and cant wait to hug him!
