Breaking the Silence

Just to set the record straight... according to my dear friend, Ginger, I have "abandoned" my blog. This isn't exactly accurate as I have actually neglected my blog. There IS a difference. I'm not sure what the difference is since both point to the fact that I haven't written a post in over two months. But, as I see it, neglected means that I will get back on track and post from time to time and abandoned means I've jumped ship. I haven't jumped ship. So, now that we have that cleared up....
If anyone is still around that may just happen to read this... I hope you had a great July 4th, full of fun family times and renewed patriotic fervor. We had a nice BBQ meal. Meg is in town to join us, along with her friends Josh & Chelsea. Erin, Micah and Liam were here as well. :-) We played cards and hung out. We had to play cards because last time Meg and Josh were here (Father's Day) all we did was sit around and stare at the baby. He IS incredibly adorable you know. (You may not know that since I haven't posted any of the 5,000 pictures I've taken of him) So, although Josh was very polite over the situation, he must have been bored silly watching us watch Liam. On Father's Day I promised him next time he came over we would get back to our usual family night of eating and playing "Hand & Foot". So, there you go! No fireworks, no picnic in 95 degree weather.... just eating, hanging out and playing cards. I will tell you that for awhile we had an uneven number of people to make up card teams... so I had to sit out and hold the baby. I know... it was a sacrifice, but someone had to do it. I am a very sacrificial mother you know. ;-) And would you believe I didn't take ONE SINGLE picture last night? I'm really slipping!!
So... we're off to have lunch with Megan, but I wanted to stick up a post... just to prove Ginger wrong. LOL! I can be tacky like that. Have a great weekend!
