Wow, it's been a long time since I last blogged. So many blogworthy things have happened, it's nearly overwhelming to try and type it all out. Where to begin...?

Well, we had a 6' cedar privacy fence installed around the sides of the house (there was already one in the back), so now the kids have a safe, dog poop-free place in which to play. In addition, we installed the swing set (a blue Flexible Flyer Slide-N-Swing that Neal & Marta gave the kids - thanks!) and also a sandbox, so the kids are in heaven! Now, if there was only a way to get rid of the mosquitos...

We had all fallen ill for about a week recently, Misti with some sort of a strep throat-type of deal that was knocked down with antibiotics, while the rest of us poor slobs all got a stomach flu. Not a fun time. But, we're all back to a healthy state now, and enjoying the wonderful, sunny, and hot summer-like conditions outside these last few weeks (except for the one day last week during which we saw torrents of rain and marble-size hail!).

Becca had a birthday recently, and she finally got the Dora's Talking House that she's been wanting for so long! She enjoyed having her grammy and grampa come up to visit, and misses them now that they're gone again.

We tried out some wonderful Trace Minerals Ultra Mangosteen juice (mangosteen and goji berries). Mmmm, tasty and healthy! I'll blog more later on today, so watch for it! (This is just the tip of the iceberg!)
