We're Back!

We didn't disappear, we just experienced a significant blogging loss with the death of our computer. A month and a half ago I emailed a friend at 11 p.m., and when I went to the computer the next morning to check for a response, it was dead. That really rocked our world, but it certainly would have been worse without "our guy" who takes care of us when situations like this arise at our house. Of course, our timing couldn't have been worse as he and his family had just moved into a newly built, big, beautiful home with all kinds of stuff to put away and all kinds of trick things to try out like a really sweet media room, oh, and a previous home sale to get closed. With all that, he still managed to find time to get over to our house to confirm our computer had died, decide what we should get next, order it and then spend two more half days at our house getting everything set up. Thanks, Mr. B., for getting us back in business.

In the meantime, a lot has happened as you can tell by the pictures. We closed out the school year and said goodbye to second grade. Maryn had a hip hop dance recital. Jen graduated from fifth grade, Bill graduated from college. We enjoyed cookouts at Ame's house for Father's Day and Fourth of July. We even managed to enjoy some seahorse bacon, or, rather, bacon that looked like a seahose, when we were out for lunch one day. It won't be easy to top all that, but with a couple of weeks of summer vacation left, we'll give it a good try.
