A few very kind souls who humor me and actually read my blog have noticed that I have been MIA for quite some time. Almost 36 days to be exact. How did this happen? How did that much time pass so quickly and why have I been so lazy? I've kind of been rebelling. I want to enjoy our summer without feeling obligated to document every little thing. Who do I feel obligated to, I wonder? I am not narcissistic (thank you spell check on that one!) enough to think that people, nay, fans, were hounding my blog living in deep depression when day in and day out there was nothing new to satisfy their hunger. I do feel a little obliged to keep in touch with family and friends because I love feeling connected and having them as a part of my life - even if it is in cyberspace.
No, I feel obligated to my kids and myself to be better at keeping this up. After rebelling for a while - I only planned to take a two week "vacation" - I got overwhelmed with the prospect. In case you didn't notice I take a ginormous amount of pictures and I tend to blab like theirs no tomorrow. The mountain of memories to sift through has risen higher and higher. But then today as Angela was talking about her new "banastic" outfit (she says the word gymnastics almost like "banana") and I was thinking what a cute way to say gymnastics that was and how I love her funny way of saying things. I realized, it's those cute little things that I miss when I try to recall a month's worth of memories in one sitting.
So I am turning over a new leaf. Until I fall off the wagon again. I am recommitting and ready to climb this "mountain of memories" and take you on a journey of our family summer thus far.

It's funny that you have this post on your blog. Just yesterday Dave and I were mentioning that it has been very quiet on the northwest front. Not that we check your blog daily or anything. I randomly checked it today and voila...there you were! Anyway...it's great to see what you are all up too. Loved the picture of "Hank"
