What's up?

It is official. I totally abandoned blogging. I should be ashamed of myself. I am ashamed. A lot has happened since my last post in February! Mark and I vacationed in Mexico, Zack turned 18 and graduated and vacationed in Mexico, Katie turned 16 and got her driver's license, Zack and Katie attended Young Life camp in Virginia, Marco and Gus attended Farm Explorers camp, Gus turned 7, Ana completed her first year of preschool, Katie and I went to New York, summer vacation arrived, and we have been enjoying every single day of summer!

This summer is a big one for this mama. Our oldest child moves out of state to begin his college career. He moves in just 23 days...but who is counting. The number of kids in our house will be shrinking instead of expanding for the first time. Bizarre.


We leave for vacation in 3 days. One week of no work, no school work, no commitments, and total relaxation. I figured this was a good time to get back to writing and recording family happenings.


In the meantime, enjoy a few pictures of our last few months.
