our not so boring month (and reasons for being mia)

reasons for not blogging:
-family coming into town. this included my sister erin and her four kids, and maddie and graham's friend wells being here for a whole month. life was good.
-pure laziness.
-soaking up graham. boy, is he changing. he started sitting about three weeks ago, now says da da, shows beginning signs of crawling, and gives me french kisses. it is sooo fun to see him learn new things.
-going to see my sister and brother-in-law do a triathlon in burley, idaho. they rock.
-big changes in our lives. a new job, house hunting, etc. for an ocd/planner such as myself, this has caused much anxiety.
-a very fun family trip to boise/mccall, idaho.

now I also have anxiety about how behind I am in blogging. so, I'm just throwing out a bunch of pictures to get caught up.

hanging with wells, pool time, family meals:







lagoon! graham was in H-E-A-V-E-N:

the stars of the triathlon:

finn AND tuck are finally home! these four are together at last:
(graham: 7 months, tuck/finn: 3 months, wells: 5 months)

mccall, idaho:






boise, idaho:




I'm extremely sad all of this fun, summer stuff is over. my favorite season is just around the corner though. my birthday, halloween, thanksgiving, and christmas all in consecutive months.
oh happy day!
