Hiatus

So OK, I've been on a sort of blog hiatus.  It's not that we don't have anything going on or that we don't have any new pictures to share.  It's actually the opposite.  Our household has been extra busy with getting the boat ready for summer and spending long hours outside.  The past few nights we haven't eaten dinner until after 7.  Instead, while Tony mowed the lawn the other night, Jill and I took Rachael for a walk down the street which turned into a run.  Jill sprinting down the street, pumping those little arms and keeping them almost straight, looking just awkward enough to be hysterical and adorable at the same time.  She turned her head to yell to me, "Look Mumma!  I'm exercising!!"  I just wanted her to turn around and watch where she was going before she ran straight into a mailbox. 

Here's a look of what we've been up to, in no particular order because I can't remember:

 warmer weather is here - time for wiffleball,

playing on the swingset,

 and uncovering the boat.

Jill loved the turtles!

 Then we met Mel and Cole at Somerset Creamery for the first time this season.
