oh blog.

this poor blog.  i just looked at it.  the slideshow to the left entitled "life lately" makes me just a little sad.  it is far from current.  that one of carlyle and luella in their coats? nope, it's only shorts and short sleeves these days...shoes sometimes.  that cute one of us hanging out in the backyard?  oh wait, no, we haven't played there in months. that one of my mom helping the kids do something?  well, yes, that is going on right now, but not in the same setting.   

we are in wisconsin.  we have carved out a little routine for ourselves here.  it is quite nice.  being up here at my parents' place is just so comforting, refreshing.  before we were here, we left the walkers' basement (thank you again wonderful walkers),  went to the mountains, then kansas city, then columbia.  it's been a whirlwind.  this whole summer has.  as happy as i am to be here, i cannot wait to move into our new home in fort collins...just a few more weeks. 

so, in an effort, to give this blog some love...i'll post a reel of photos.  we'll be covering a lot of territory.  so, try to keep up. 

 steamboat springs...still can't believe we live in a state with this much glory.

 papa's boat.  he was into it. 

 at fritz's chili watching the model trains go by.  it was maybe the cutest thing ever.

 carmen's looking pretty cute herself here.

 mimi had luella in stitches

 visiting our sweet friends the rameys in como

 they truly are best friends.  i marvel at their friendship more and more.

 happy to be in wisconsin!

 have i told you about the wonders of my mom's garden?

 washing cucumbers

 trying on some clip on earrings

 our dear friends, tracy and jess, came up for the weekend...it was very nice.

 checking out jelli's market, a local farm

 

 this is where my parents buy their eggs, corn, berries, among other things

luella (along with rest of us) is loving the wisconsin life...as well as this ballerina swimsuit handed down from her cousin.  she wears it every chance she has.  

well, that is all for now.  loyal readers, i thank you for your patience and your dedication to this blog.  i'll try to write again soonly.
