Yes, I know. It's been far, far too long
I disappeared from blogging, and that is just wrong
Be patient and wait and soon you will see
All the things in my life that keep me busy
Texas was great! Best vacation I've had
We had a great time, not a single thing bad
Except maybe that I had to come back
But I had great memories I got to unpack
Then on to jury duty and parks galore
Library, friends, picnics and more
We kept busy the whole summer through
Sorry we were too busy to share it with you
But now if you have just a little more time
I'll share highlights now with a corny li'l rhyme
There is no real form or meter to this
I hope you'll ignore when the rhyme is a miss
Rachel got glasses! They're just for reading
They gave her the help she'd badly been needing
Tyler went to camp at the local high school
To learn some football. Man, he feels cool
Becca just started Kindergarten this fall
She goes all day long, and loves it all
A brand new family moved in down the street
With 2 boys to play with, Tyler finds it a treat
I finished my canning, all 200 pounds
Peaches, pears, apples, nectarines in mounds
We had our anniversary back in July
It seems 13 years have simply flown by
Scott turned 37 and we had some fun
A bocce ball tournament Scott actually won!
We're still doing signs, we even added more
It's just too bad the kids find it a chore
But now days are short and summer is done
Normal, not summer, life has really begun
Gymnastics, homework, full days at school
Our lives are a tight, but happy schedule
I know that I said I'd go back to work
The money involved would be a nice perk
But sometimes life just gets in the way
I can't say more now, it's too early to say
We hope to have news for you very soon
And no, I won't have a baby in June
But we do hope to have a nice change coming up
I'll tell you all later, when things are sewn up
For now know I love you and I'm glad to be back
If I go this long without blogging again, give a smack
Hard, right against the side of my head
And now, good night all, I'm going to bed
