Blackout

For the few loyal followers that I have, I am sorry that I haven't been writing very much. There's just no time. I never in a million years thought that our summer would be this busy. Hopefully in a couple of weeks when the kids go back to school and Amanda is back to taking two-hour naps everyday I can enlighten you with my wisdom on a more consistent basis.

As for now, tomorrow we leave for Denver, where we will spend the night with one of my college roommates, and then we are off to Estes Park. I have no grandiose plans of writing while I am there as I don't think the YMCA of the Rockies has wifi. I will take notes and hopefully when I get back with have some funny stories to tell of my family reunion. There's always good stories to tell from family reunions, right? Plus, when I'm around all my nieces and nephews (but especially the nieces) I get some very juicy quotes for Kid Quote of the Day.

Two days after we get back from that trip we are headed to Myrtle Beach. Finally. Although the Myrtle Beach trip has existed for the last ten years, we haven't actually been to Myrtle Beach since Sarah was three months old. Last year we couldn't go because I had Amanda the day after we would have gotten home, the year before that we had to move the trip to West Palm Beach and the year before that we had to move it to Destin. All the changes were due to kids and family planning of our ever expanding group. That's just how it goes. So, we're very excited to actually be going back to Myrtle and catching up with all of our friends.

We get back two days before Amanda's first birthday, Sarah starts school a week later, and Andy starts school the week after that. Man! So, what I'm trying to say is don't expect much from me for the next couple of weeks, but I promise I will come back. I truly enjoy writing this and telling all six of you about my crazy life. It is therapy like I never expected. Please don't give up on me, I will return with earnest!
