Where HAVE I been?

Well, I fell off the face of blogland again but this time, unlike last year, it isn't because I'm preggers or anything. I wish I had such a good excuse (well, except for the part about being pregnant, I'm happy not to be pregnant) but really, it just comes down to regular summer business. We've been celebrating friends' birthdays, going to parks and cookouts, enjoying the beautiful weather, cursing the bad weather, playing, working and generally just soaking up the always too short summertime. The DSLR also broke so I have no decent pictures of what we've been up to. I just picked it up from the shop a few days ago though so once I get a new media card, I'll be back in business. I've got some photos off the old point and shoot to share with you though.

The baby turned 7 months old:

We took the boys swimming:

Made some side yard progress (post to come soon):

Read some good books:

And I've been experimenting in the kitchen some more:

We've definitely been having fun. Sugarpop (the baby) is also creeping which keeps me on my toes. I can put him down on his mat and 5 minutes later, I find him across the room. He gets around by rolling or pushing himself backwards on his belly. It definitely means I can't stay at the computer long, in fact, in just the time I've typed this last bit about his mobility, I've looked over at him 8 times (and I'm a fast typer). I had to babyproof the house in a big hurry a few weeks ago.

So, as you can see, we've been busy. I hope to get a few posts up with some specifics on the creative side of my days but the days just keep flying by so I'm going to have to carve out some special time to devote to the posts. I'll do my best.

Thank you for reading,
