Something's gotta give....

... and it has obviously been the blog!

See... it's like this:

This past Saturday our family threw a retirement party for my dad in our backyard, with a little thing called a Shrimp Boil (oh yum!) for 15 people.

This involved much planning and decorating and planning and sweating, but it was definitely worth it.
And then the very next day was Father's day, which was filled with activities and gifts all its own. And was so busy I forgot to take a picture of the Father of My Children with his children. Oops.

And THEN.... Monday we launched right into Vacation Bible School.

And it has been tons of fun.

But leaves us all very tired. You have experienced this, yes?

Even the youngest among us have to stop for a cool drink of water every now and then.
Anyway, long story short we are all well and all still around, and I still plan on blogging about Kindergarten Part II, and our garden, and just good ol' everyday life.

But not 'till next week. ;)
