We've made it! Well....almost.

So we've fallen off the blog wagon for awhile. We have been doing a lot of living and spending tons of time outside playing. We live in heaven!! The girls have two more days of school. Yes, we are STILL in school. It has been an endurance test the last few weeks. Anyway, get ready for picture overload. We have had all kinds of recitals, graduations and performances.
Time to brag!

We miss you guys so much. Looks like you have future track stars at your house. At AE's school they had a very lame attempt at field day. It was a free for all at a huge playground, nothing organized. Enjoy NY schools, not paying for heat and the great WP community. Miss ya
