Ooops - where've we been?!?!?

Sorry for the lack of posting recently! Sometimes it is just difficult to get through a day and manage to remember to brush your teeth.

The kids are out of school now and are getting ready to embark on their annual vacation with Nana. They'll be in Charlottesville, Philadelphia, and who knows where else! This year they will only be gone about 7 days. Which is shorter than the usual 12 or so. It's a toss up as to which parent misses them more when they are gone. For my part, I know I'll be a nervous wreck until I hear they have landed safely.

For the second year in a row we are going to skip our 4th of July barbecue. Last year we were just too tired as Maggie was just 7 months old. This year with Mike working very long hours and us not getting to spend very much time with him, we've decided to take the kids to the beach for a family vacation. This will be Maggie's third trip, she loves the sand and the ocean! This time she can walk so we are very excited to see her run on the sand and play in the waves!

By next year we should be in a new house and be able to get back to the good, old-fashioned, Doran 4th of July Blast!
