Still alive

I have not fallen off the face of the earth. Things have just been very busy this summer. We made three trips up to New Jersey to spend time with all of our family and friends. We have taken a few day trips to some cool new places. And we have been just plain busy enjoying the time off of school. We are down to one week of the summer left. This week we plan on surprising the kids with an overnight stay at Great Wolf Lodge as a last little hoorah before school starts. Thursday MacKenzie has to go to school for Seminole Camp. Because she is starting middle school this will be an opportunity to learn where everything is, what is expected of them, and meet the teachers. Then on Tuesday the 7th she will begin her first full day as a middle schooler. That same day (the 7th) Cameron goes in to his school for his meet the teacher day. Cameron will be starting three day preschool on the 8th. Hopefully by then we will be starting to get back into the regular routine of school and home. I am looking forward to getting back to the gym while Cam is in school. The summer, the trips to NJ and the lack of exercise have not been kind to me. With the kids out of school I had an excuse to slack but once they go back I have nothing to hide behind. Also hopefully I will have a lot more time to update you on all the fun things that have been going on in our house.

For now I will leave you with a little teaser. We have a new addition to our house. We are all in love:
