This poor, neglected blog

So, let's see. In the 5 (yes. five.) months since I've posted, quite a few blog-worthy things have gone down. I'll try to give you the Cliff's notes and you'll just have to forgive me for not posting them in a more timely manner. 

In June we went to New Jersey for our vacation:

The rest of those pictures are in the little slideshow on the right.

In July, Mad spent the 4th with her Grammy and Papa and learned how to do this:

I cried.

In August- Mad started 1st grade, Ollie moved in with Cullen, about five minutes later we decided that was a bad idea and quickly moved him back into his own room.

Oh and my sweet baby had his first birthday. Complete with Smurf-colored cupcakes:

In September, Cullen started his last year of preschool. He was thrilled.

Matt was dunked in a dunking booth at a work-sponsored party. I'll spare him those pictures, but the kids had a great time too!

 

October has been gorgeous and we went camping for fall break. It. Was. Awesome. I really should do a separate blog post for that one because there are so many great photos and video. Yeah, I think I'll do that. Ok here's just one to preview the awesomeness:

We had our annual pumpkin farm visit

And today, of course, is my babygirl's birthday. Her celebration extravaganza started Saturday with Chuck E Cheese

Sunday with horseback riding

And already today I've taken cupcakes to her class, eaten lunch with her, and bought her the steak dinner she wants for tonight.

I love you Mad. You wake up more awesome everyday.

As for THIS blogger, I am BACK! More updates, more pictures, more Foreman Five. Promise.
