Summer stuff...

Excuses, excuses....our IT group at work "fixed" my laptop and somehow screwed up my ability to download pics which made me a little grumpy and absent from the blogging world. Finally I'm back in business with access to all things important on my laptop - iTunes and pics! One of these days I'll break down and buy my own computer. I'm thinking a macbook. Anyone out there love theirs and want to motivate me to buy one?

So what's going on with us? Nothing but an AMAZING summer filled with lots of pool/lake time with the kiddos on the weekend. Spencer can swim a good 20-30 yards by himself and has a new love of fishing. Reminds me of weekends upstate where our grandparents had a house on a lake and we would sit and fish every night after dinner. And of course reminds Jon of his childhood fishing with his family.

We were fortunate this year to visit all of our out of town family before the really hot months - except for my parents who we visited in conjunction with two other activities - 1. my 20-year high school reunion; 2. meetings for work which put me in the city and my parents in babysitting mode. Here is a picture of me and two of my oldest friends - Meredith and Melissa.


Here's a few pictures of my family...

We spent a great day in NY with my cousins and their kids - all around the same age as Spencer and Shoshi. Here's a few pics.
Tara and Emma (Emma is one main source of Shoshi's adorable wardrobe!)

Jake is so sweet with his little cousin!

No trip to NY would feel complete without a trip to the beach!



And now it's Monday morning and the kids are still sleeping! I am finally back running after about six weeks off to heal my plantar fascitiis. In fact, I just got back from a 5:20 am 4-mile run with my running buds...so good to be back! During my time off from running I became a mad crossfitter - lots of intense strength training. In fact, here's a picture that is on our gym's website...www.crossfitbroadway.com. These are the 6am girls I workout with.
