Yeah, Blogging is Hard

Turns out, life just gets busier. I'm under no illusion that I am actually prepared to start blogging again, or keep this space even moderately updated. If you want a peek into our daily lives, Instagram is the best way to keep up with us. Blogging is just too time intensive for this working mom.

Hopefully I won't abandon this space all together, and make time for updates here and there. The kids are now 3 and (almost) 5. It's been a fun, busy year. One highlight was our two week family vacation through Utah, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. We rented a RV and went with my parents and my brother's family. The trip included a family reunion in Utah, Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and countless other scenic adventures. It really was pretty special. No time for more written details, but the pictures speak for themselves anyway.

Ooops...I did it again.

Well...it's been almost five months since I posted. There's a lot of posts that I SHOULD have written, plenty that I thought about writing, and exactly zero that I found time to write. We had birthdays, holidays, and plenty of happenings to write about. I WILL find time to post about them, hopefully one at a time, if not in one giant, unwieldy post.

In the mean time... We are here. We are alive. We are living the life.

Summer Vacation 2015

We got back from this trip more than a month ago so I suppose it's about time I blog about it. Is it just me or is summer flying by! How is it mid-August already? Yeesh.

In early July we packed up the kids, the cousins and Nana and Gramps and headed up to the Lake George area of the Adirondacks for a week of fun in the sun rain. Despite it being July, it was rainy and cold for 75% of the week. Super fun when you're camping. But we made the best of it and no matter what the weather does, a week away with family is still an adventure.

Like last year we rented a small cabin on a lake in southern Maine. This year we also brought our pop-up camper and along with my brother's family, set up camp in the woods behind the house. Both kids did great sleeping in the camper. Cece spent most nights sleeping on one side with James and Sully of course snuggled up to me so that he could nurse on demand. Lucky kid.

We spent most days just hanging around the lake, doing a little boating, a little fishing and a lot of hanging around in the cabin to escape the cold and rain (yes, that fire is to keep us warm!).

We visited Lake George, visited trains and played mini golf for (Cece's) first time. We hit up all the local ice cream shops and spent a few days doing various day hikes. Cece really loved hiking and did really well walking on her own up and down tricky terrain.

Summit had fun too.

The weather could have been nicer but the company we kept was the best. Can't wait to start planning for next year's vacation!
