A Day at the Pumpkin Patch

Hiatus...of sorts

Well, it has been AWHILE since I posted anything on this blog. Not because I didn’t want to, and have many times thought, “This would make a good blog post…” about various things. My husband is off during the summer, which means we try to spend more time together as a family, and less time being electronically connected J Okay, well, sorta. The real reason for this absence is that around the 4^th of July our computer messed up. We then got a friend of ours to fix it. Got it back, and it did the same thing within about 2 days. It then took awhile to get it fixed again, while we were throwing around the idea of actually having to purchase a NEW computer. Well, now we have our computer back, AND a new computer :). But, in the meantime, I filled up my 4 gig compact flash card for my camera (which, is a LOT of pictures) and I didn’t have anywhere to put them. Hence, I didn’t want to blog, because, what fun is a blog post without pictures, right?

So, I am here now, trying to give you a brief update on our summer. We got our house ready to sell. We painted. We cleaned. We moved stuff from our closets to my in-laws house. We camped (in the NC mountains). We swam (very little…much less than the 3-4 days a week we were at the pool last year). We spent time with friend and family. We watched fireworks. We went to concerts in the park. Kevin got a new job. We gardened. We ate squash, and okra, and cucumbers. I learned to make pickles. I canned tomatoes. I froze okra and squash. We yard-saled and craigslisted. We loved on our boys and our precious baby girl. We saw Shane & Shane. We read. We lived life, and enjoyed it.

Here's a few pictures from the summer...

Hope you all had an enjoyable summer. And I am looking forward to posting on here a little more frequently now that I have computerS!! :)
