As Promised!
There are many, many blog updates below. Scroll down to check out what we have been doing this summer. Since I fell behind in blogging, I am sure there are times I left out details and I am sure there are times I repeated myself. I was just trying to catch everyone up with what has been happening and post some pictures.
Why am I so motivated? Summer ends for me on Monday. Back to work! Well, I am only teaching part time at Summit High School this year. My schedule will be from 11am-3pm or so, pretty great considering I like to sleep in. Summer has been fantastic, as you can see from the posts below. I am sure there is so much more to share that I have forgotten.
My goal, as always, is to continue to blog regularly to keep an online journal, for you to follow, and for us to reflect upon (and for Lily to have when she is older). Hopefully I will not fall behind like that again!
Andy and I were able to re-charge our batteries during our last week of summer vacation. Lily stay in Corvallis with my mom and dad from Sunday afternoon until today (Thursday afternoon). We had many days to be “young and child-free.” We missed Lily terrible and spend much of our time without her actually talking about her. But, the time to re-charge was nice. It involved sleeping in, riding bikes for 4 hours around Sun River (seeing Benham Falls, and riding around town), going to the gym, reading books, playing poker, watching movies, staying up late… and a big one: doing our taxes (hey, we applied for an extension!). But, they are done and submitted. Also, our car now has new brakes.
We accomplished a lot in a child-free 4 days.
Lily also had a great time with Papa during the days (while Nama was at work). She enjoyed trips to the park and the jumping place, snow cones, ice cream, and popsicles — and that all happened in just one day!!!
So, catch up on our blog by reading below. Enjoy!
