Still here...

Yep folks...we're still here. I took a little break from "blogging" for a while (basically for the summer). It just seemed to be easier to focus on what is at hand right now...and that is my family. We've been very busy with swimming, gymnastics, science camps and a couple of minor surgeries for our little one. So basically our days have been filled with getting wet, flipping and flopping, sitting in waiting rooms, dissecting something, all the while throwing in a little crankiness here and there from a little one who is about tired of surgeries.

With a break in the wet weather we've been having lately, yesterday I was able to take the kids to our big state fair here. My husband "volunteered" to stay home with the baby so we could be at our own pace. With a grin on his face we waved goodbye to Dad and took on the MASSIVE amount of crowds, absolutely no parking spaces, grease-filled air and all the "not-so-safe" rides you could ever want. By the end of the day we dragged ourselves back home to a Dad (who was still smiling) as we told him of our stories of stinky baby animals, wall to wall people and an amusement park ride that was probably first in service in 1901. Yep, it was a fun day had by all!
