Since becoming an avid blogger in July of 2007, this has been by far the longest I have gone without blogging. We had so much going on at the beginning of the summer that I became a little overwhelmed with chronicling it all and I put it on the back burner for a while... well, with school starting back up in a couple of weeks I know if I didn't catch up now I probably never will. So my goal this weekend is to get caught up-- we'll see how far I get.
The end of June and early July were a very busy time for us. We had two weeks of a house full of visitors. Since Justin and I both had our entire families in town over the holiday weekend, we had London blessed in church on the 4th of July:
London was a good baby for her Dad, and Justin gave a beautiful and meaningful blessing
We had dinner at our house afterwards and everyone contributed to the fabulous feast
The day before that was the annual Centerville Parade, and London and I opted to be spectators this year. The kids as usual had a fabulous time throwing candy and wooing the crowd:
And the night before that was the Centerville Children's Parade. The kids were especially excited to have their cousins and grandparents along this year:
This post really is a very brief summary of the fun-filled couple of weeks we had with our extended family. There was a lot of swimming, Wii games, fun outings, and playing with the cousins, which we don't get to do nearly enough. It was great to be together:
Swimming at the Rec Center
Fun at Discovery Gateway
Obaachan getting a lot of quality London-time
It was fun to meet cousin Norah for the first time, I know she and London are going to be best buds!
Swimming at the neighborhood pool
Grown-up game night after the kids were in bed
Maybe this will have to become an annual summer tradition.
