Blog? What Blog? (Or The First New Excuse)

Okay.. This is actually more like a practice post. A post to say I am going to post and keep on posting. You know... like the old days. I read your blog and you read mine.
 I do miss you blogland. I keep meaning to come by. I really have so much to talk about. I just get distracted.
 
A couple weeks ago, when I first dissappeared, I ran away from home to the Northern California Coast (my mom and dad's house...Hi Guys!), and I took my neighbors. 

Pretty, Huh?




That was 5 fun filled days. 
Hanging out at the river:


Jacob was amazing with the littler kids. It washed out months of built up pre-teen sass.






Cooper was socialized.. People and dog style.




And we all go our summertime relax going.



And right on my way out of town I got a lovely package from Jennifer over at Infinity More Monkeys with an awesome road trip mix cd and all these:


Thanks Jennifer!! Perfect timing!


Stay tuned for what happened to the other 12 days..
They actually contained some photographable CRAFT.
Seriously.
Don't look at me like that.

I mean it.

  1. Practice posts are good, come on in, the blogging water's fine! Look at your cute puppers and your cute adolescent too! Tell Jacob that he can move in and I am up for an Urban Ore excursion ANYTIME! Boy after my own heart!

    I am SO with you in the not-posting arena, but I don't have such a pretty excuse. I love love love the northern coast! And I could just nibble on that adorable tiny baby frog. :)

  8. Sounds like a great summer trip! Cooper is so darn cute. So is the kid.

    I've been thinking about you.

    I'm off to do crafty things too.
