Catching Up...Again

I have an entire summer of catching up to do...what can I say, I haven't blogged since July, yet that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about it...the kids have been home and the little 'free' time I've had has gone to sleeping, eating, and doing the laundry even though I wouldn't say I am caught up on that either. It was a whirlwind of a summer at our house...below is the list of what we remember from this summer.

A week floating and playing at Lake Powell
