Sup.

Yes, it's been a very long time since my last post.  Bad blogger, bad.  I really don't mean to neglect it, but when there are only so many things to be done in a day, or month, um, or summer, ugh, then something has to give, and it's been the blog.  Sorry! :)  I hope you are all well and haven't missed us too much!  ha!

Ok, so there have been SOOO many things happen since last time we talked, trips to Texas and Washington, Matthew having his first eye exam and needing some sweet-awesome glasses (photos to come as soon as the glasses do...), babies being conceived, Isaac's traumatic trips to the dentist, Noah learning to talk like a CHAMP!! and on and on!  OH! And Ben passing his last national board exam to become an official RRT (registered respiratory therapist) YYYYEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!  Holy cow, that was a long time coming and soooo worth it!  We're so proud of you, Daddy!!

Anyhoo, I just wanted to drop by and let you know we're all alive and doing well.

Here are a couple of photos from our most recent trip, visiting Natalie, Dan and fam in Washington.  Thanks, guys!  We had a BLAST!

Dad and boys on the beach... Super cold water,

but that didn't bug the boys!

"Sleep over" with the cousins.

Emma, Isaac, Erika, Noah, Lauren and Matthew.
