Although I've practically killed this blog, I am still alive. The neglect has been largely due to our move, then taking a while to figure out internet in our rural location, and finally blogging falling lower on my list.
We had a nice visit with my parents last week. It was their first time seeing us in our new town and in our new home. We took them to the nearby Celtic Faire. I was super excited to take my kids to this. I love history, field trips and spending time with visitors. Mix it all together and you can't miss, right? Well, my sweeties didn't tell me until we were loading back up after the fair that they were NOT excited to go!! They also said it turned out to be the best field trip of their lives, though. Good for them for getting dragged along good-naturedly and then staying open-minded enough to enjoy themselves!

| Gabe had the time of his life fighting bad guys with slings, swords and javelins. Made the 10-minutes solid of holding his hand straight in the air to be selected well worth it. He was the only kid waiting for a turn, but wanted to be sure he wasn't overlooked. So cute. |
