Wow. Almost a year?

As usual, once school began last fall I completely neglected to update our blog. I have a hard time even calling it "our blog" because I feel so detached from it by this point. However! I vow to give updates of the last year before July 25th--the date marking the last time I updated this thing.

I don't even know that people read it anymore and that's okay. I just had this moment of panic today (which happens ever so often...welcome to my "mind") that so much has happened that I want to remember and I haven't documented any of it--at least not in one designated spot. Truly, that is why I first began this blog so I could keep track of all of the comings/goings, changes and growing of our little family. ....Sydney getting glasses...her first dance class and recital...Gavin's ever changing likes/dislikes...his developing personality and his language explosion....family outings and of course, most recently, our amazing family vacation to Florida. So....lets see if I can do this. :)A year in pictures!

Starting with August 2011...

Joe and I were able to escape to Washington, D.C. for a few days (thanks to Aunt Bailey!)

 Jefferson Memorial

 Lincoln Memorial

 Last evening in D.C.!

Gavin started showing interest in bedtime stories as well this month--he pretty much invited himself to this reading of Pinkalicious!
