Our long hiatus.

There is an explanation for why I haven't updated the blog in quite a while. For starters, our computer crashed. Now when I say crashed, I don't mean shut off, took us a while to restore and then we were able to restart it. I mean CRASHED! After a desperate plea for help, a friend graciously spent hours in the depths of our computer pulling all of our pictures and documents off the hard drive. The computer wouldn't start and he still managed to get the pictures for us. We are so very grateful for our crafty and computer wise friend. Thank you, Jeremiah! Needless to say, he tried everything to get it working again and finally we resigned ourselves to not having that computer working ever again.

Without a computer, it is rather difficult to update a blog. Also, the library computer is only available for an hour at a time which makes checking email, shopping and updating the blog not possible all in the same visit. Oh the excuses flow so easy, don't they? Our new computer is on order and will be here within the next few weeks. I have so many pictures ready for uploading. You will have to take a few minutes to check back and get updated on our summer.

For a quick recap of some of our summer activities:
Nicholas is in soccer
family camping trip
lots of outdoor fun with the trampoline and water
very very tan children
grasshoppers everywhere (not really an activity, but it does provide the children with something to play with)

Please check back in a couple of weeks for some summer pictures.
