I'm Baaaaack!

I apologize for the long blog hiatus but life has been crazy.  I started a new job and my work hours have been insane.  I have very little free time and posting has taken a back seat.

Let's see, what is new around here?  Jack is starting Kindergarten in about 2 weeks.  Cal is staring preschool in about 2 weeks.  I started a new job back in January.  I am on call 24/7 and I am exhausted.  I dropped out of Weight Watchers but started back.  Jason got his hair cut for the first time in 4 years.

There is a ton more, but that is the short summary.

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from the past couple of months.

We have spent a ton of time at the park and splash pad this summer.  Cal really enjoys the swings.

My kids and their donuts.  I take them grocery shopping and they always beg for a donut.  This was taken this winter.

At the library's Creature Feature. They thought it was so cool that they cold hold a snake.  Also notice Cal's lovely black eye.

I took a precious week of vacation in May and we spent time doing things as a family.  This picture is of me and my buddy at the AC Gilbert House in Salem.  It's the coolest children's museum we have ever been to.

Summer calls for ice cream right?

My main squeeze with his haircut.  And a Hydroflask full of beer.  

Jack had 3 weeks of Kindergarten Transition, a program to get the kids ready to attend school every day.  He absolutely LOVED it and I have no worries that he will enjoy Kindergarten.
