Hey! Hi and hello!

My oh my, did I get out of whack there for a while.  I mean to tell you, pregnancy was easier in my 20's.  So was moving into a new place, planning VBS and getting up before 9 am.  Ok, so that last part has never been my thing (my dad will vouch for that!), but this is my new decade and I don't set my alarm these days.  :)

Well!  We've done so much!  And I'm going to tell you all about it!  Exclamations!!!

Just to tide you over, here are the two best photos of our July 4th adventures.

Ladies in proper bonnets (see right) &
frivolous pom poms (that one on the left)
awaiting Frog & Toad's opening dialogue.

Fireflies caught & released, fireworks pending.
Yes, I dressed my daughter like the flag,
and I'd do it again if she'd let me.
The boy? He picked out that shirt himself,
inspiring the whole dress-up theme.
