Proof of Life

Hiking with my 25lb heavyweight daughter in the Bjorn.  My back may never be the same....  

Well, hello there, stranger.  It has been a long time.  For any reader who hasn't given up all hope, I am here to announce that we have returned to the blogging world.  Isn't it funny how the more things you have to post, the less time you have to do it?  Over the course of this week, I hope to catch up on things.  So here we go!  In September....

My sister, Kira, came into town with her husband, Michael, and their daughter Zoey.

While Gabby is at school, Claire has become attached to her babies and teddy bears.

And she has even learned how to color on something other than the wall!
