Whew!

I have been trying to remember my log in and password to post to this blog, and have been so confused with all the other log ins and passwords in my life, so I haven't been able to post!  I should probably write those things down somewhere, huh?
Anyway, here we are again.
Mike has returned to school, and we are re-adjusting to Fall life.  I start teaching my ESOL class next week, and am very excited to be back with my students, and (remarkably) getting paid for what I love.
We've been enjoying the cooler weather these days, and are very excited for (real) Fall!
Here's a few recent pics.
Love from all of us!
Playing baby...
Hope and her best little buddy, Elina.

Two happy people.  Enjoying Great-Grammy Colby's blueberry jelly!


Daddy and kiddos, throwing rocks in the water.

A sample of the girl's writing.  It reads, "Happy Birthday .  I love you so very much.  I will bring you a present tomorrow."

A sample of the boy's writing.  A whale.

Marshmallows with friends at Auntie Meagan's house!

Good times!

Serious snacks for serious readers.

enlarging the pics...

P.S. - If you click on the pictures in the posts, you'll get an enlarged version (or you can right click and save them from here, too, Mom!)  ;)

Back to Blogging...

I've decided to start keeping a blog again instead of continuing to post my pictures and thoughts on facebook.  There are many reasons... but mostly just because I'm sick of the whole scene.  So, this is the place to find recent pictures of us and our adventures.  Love to you all!

Most recent pics of the family...
Chincoteague Island, VA, August 2010

On our way!

How could I resist!?!?!

Stepping onto the beach for the first time.

Cuteness!

What can I say?

Time for breakfast!

Descending the "sand mountain".

I don't know... that water looks awfully cold!

My favorite boys!

A make-shift train table.

All lies.

It's hard to see in this picture, but this is the stable a few houses down from our house.  The kids loved this horse, and she was very friendly.

Working hard

VACATION.




Our first trip to the Island Creamery... best ice cream in the WORLD!

A neighborhood cat that attached herself to us for the week.  The kids loved her.

Studying the kitty.

Loving the binoculars that Nana gave her.

Soaking up some rays...

CUTE.

My favorite picture!!!

We found this cool shark that must've taken someone all day to make.

The four of us.

Watching Auntie Meagan play a rather intense game.

Happy people... full of sun and chocolate ice cream!

Out for ice cream (again) with Meagan and Bryan.

A long ride home.
