One year later ...

Dear Friends and Family,

It's been a long and exhausting day, so this will be a quick post!

First, I would like to point out that Thursday marked the one-year anniversary of this blog. Yup, started this just a few weeks before we were married so that I could keep everybody up-to-date on our nutty life. : ) Are you really still reading this one year later?! I suppose this would be a good time to go over all the things that have changed in the last year, but so much has changed that it would be hard to know where to start. The fact is, one year later I think things are much smoother around our house. Life is good! :)

It also means that our first anniversary is quickly approaching and we are very excited for our five-day camping trip to Ashland, OR to see the Shakespeare festival. Oh, and there will some bike riding, but we're actually going for Shakespeare. Bring on the Bard! :)

We had a fabulous 4th of July with a large group of friends and family. My parents hosted a party at their place. The kids played in the pool (and exhausted themselves!), there was horseshoes, BBQ, music and fireworks. In fact, this was the first year that Zack had ever seen fireworks ... he was a little scared at first but he rallied and enjoyed them. Gavin and Chloe loved them too. It was a fun day. We got home around 11 p.m. and everyone was asleep in the car ... the kids did great though and got right in bed when we got home. By the way, took the camera with me and then forgot to actually use it. Nice.

Zack headed to his dad's this morning at 8 a.m. (6:30 came awfully early after last night's lateness) but our monthly trip to Costco and Whole Foods went along with the commute. Lots of things done around the house.

I cannot believe that July is here already! Hope this finds everyone doing well!

Much love,
--M
