It's been busy but I've been itching to get back to the keyboard. In these last few weeks I've realized that writing is something that I need. Unfortunately for you dear reader, I am sorely lacking on content. Ella and Viv's daycare has taken their annual two week hiatus in August. The girls have been at camp Lolo/Lola and are reportedly having a blast. The weekends have been spent celebrating birthdays with loved ones and finishing up the BBQ circuit. We've actually been asked back to our neighbors house twice...guess we haven't scared them off yet. I managed to limp to the finish line after thirteen miles of what I would classify as a run. Even though I was passed up by two-thirds of the racers I was happy that my new running shoes got some mileage on them this summer. For the remainder of the year and the first several months of 2012 I plan on resting on these laurels and further perfecting my impersonation of a sloth. Our garden, although overrun with weeds, has been another source of inspiration. What to do with all of these eggplant and tomatoes? In addition to our sunflowers we also decided that pumpkins would be an appropriate addition to our garden...that was until the vines started to consume our fire-pit and hold our patio furniture hostage. Of course Sarah had to pick out the seeds that read "Big Max - Competition Size". We now have to watch closely to make sure Vivian does not toddle too closely to the vines for fear that she too will succumb. Yep, you read right, she's officially walking. She took her first steps a few weeks prior to her first birthday but finally has seemed to decide that it suits her. We're so proud. Ella will be starting soccer in the coming weeks and has discovered a love for monster finger puppets. Last but not least, Jerry will be competing in the Chicago Triathlon this weekend. Go Jer Go! Ok, ok, I know I'm starting to sound like a Christmas card. Clean the vomit off of the keyboard...promise to try and be more coherent on the next post. Just wanted to offer some explanation for my absence.
