I haven't been blogging nearly as much over the last couple of months, but I count that as a good thing! I haven't had the time, or nearly as much desire to even turn on the damn computer, let along blog. It's been fabulous here in our new yard. The kids and I spend nearly every day running around outside, or working in the garden, or sitting in the shade with our favorite books.
Speaking of favorite books, I started reading the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, and it is everything anyone could ever hope for in a teenage vampire love book series :) It is truly shameful how much time I've spent reading these books rather than doing things like, oh, the dishes or speak to my husband (Sorry honey, you know I'll snap out of it soon!) Lo and behold, the final book comes out at midnight on August 2, the day after my birthday! So, my 30th birthday present to myself will be to hang out with a bunch of 15-year-old vampire obsessed children at Barnes & Noble until I can get my hands on Breaking Dawn, and then staying up to read it until I get to the end. It's gonna be great!
Activities here have been pretty slow this summer, but it's been a good, peaceful couple of months. We took the kids to the Louisville Zoo a couple of weeks ago to see the polar bears, only to find that the polar bears had been shipped to other zoos while their habitat was remodeled. That was disappointing, until we found that they had also constructed a huge splashpark, and it was free with admission (which was also free for us, thanks to the handy-dandy reciprocal membership program we've got with our zoo.) We'll definitely be heading back there before the summer is out. Patrick spent last week in Omaha, and left yesterday for a few days back in Virginia. It's been a little crazy not having him here, but I'm unbelievable grateful that his parent's live two doors down and have been helping me distract the kids.
So, that's it. Nothing new to report. Not even any new pictures, since my camera wheezed it's last wheeze a few weeks ago. If I don't write again until August, it will just be because we're hanging out in the yard under a shady tree. I hope you all are so lucky, too!
We like the compass as a family image or logo. To us it represents many things on many levels, but foremost adventure and direction. A compass can help you get where you are going or find your way back home. It can also help you figure out where you are.

Sounds like you are having a great summer. I didn't know the Louisville Zoo has a splash park. Considering how close it is to us I'll have to take the kids there. We went back in the fall but had to hurry through because they were closing early.
I'll have to tell my daughter abou the vampire books. she loves books like that and ignores us and everything else to read a good one.
Thanks again for having us over on Memorial Day weekend. We had a great time.
