Well, Hello There...

The blog hiatus is over... 

I would love to say that I have been too busy to blog, but that would be a lie.  No, I am not pregnant and nauseous and hugging the toilet as a couple people have asked why the blogs have stopped. Time has just gotten away from me...  Lots of Ledger time, pool time, play dates and just being plain LAZY.  But I guess that is what summers are for.  

But that is about to come to an abrupt halt very soon.  I am in complete denial.  It.is.nearly.over - UGH!

So here is a huge photo dump of all that has been happening here on the home front!

 Headed to Dallas to celebrate this spunky, little girl's birthday!  The cutest donut party you have ever seen...  Christy should have been a party planner.  Ridiculously cute!

 Happy 3rd Bday MJ!  This shirt and donut leggings kill me.  This kid loves a donut!

Got to sneak away that afternoon to meet sweet Gwynnie!  

And then on Sunday, sweet Maren was dedicated at church.  
Even though she is camera shy:) 

 Summer lunches at Mommy's favorite fast-food establishment...

 4th of July Parade Fun...

 Or not...  Was not the least bit enthused.

 I am sure their conversation is centered around about what a beat down Mom was making us sit out in 90 degree weather, at 8:30 in the morning, waiting on a dang parade...

 Before and After the Parade Festivities...Not impressed.

 Fun 4th of July Party at the Christy's!  This made up for the parade:)

 Lots and I mean lots of bubbles this summer...

 Best $47 I have ever spent at Walmart...

 If I have to read this book one more time, I may end it all.  I can read this book backwards, upside down and in my sleep.  I can only make farm animal sounds and say "Beep, Beep, Beep" so many times.  This one may get lost...  Accidentally of course:)

 Hanging with his girl Bob...

And his girl Jentri...

 And Facetiming with his girl, Greta, back in Louisiana. 
Miss this sweet face and her Momma.

 His favorite accessory these days...

Fun at the Science Spectrum...

 Triple the fun at the SS when these three crazies come into town!  
L loves his Knoxie and Briggsy...

 And Dede and Grandma were here this past weekend!  SO much fun for the two of them to come stay with us.

Dede read, read and read some more with this book obsessed boy!  
Hey, there could be worse things?!?!  And watched puppy videos on her phone:)  Ledger ADORED being with his Dede. 

He loves his great-grandmother too, aka Grandma!  SO glad Grandma could make the trip too!


My pasty white, white baby...  Lots of just chilling time this summer!

Well, that about wraps it up in a nutshell.  Hard to believe it is almost over.  

But two more trips are on the schedule for the Wainscott's and one girl's trip!


Up next, Daddy and Mommy's ALONE trip to Santa Fe.  
Tomorrow cannot get here soon enough...


And my husband didn't understand why you have to meet for two + hours one night with wine to discuss a Girl's Trip food and drink menu.  It's called "planning." Sigh...
This is going to be a fun one - No husbands, kids or pets.  Woohoo!

I hope everyone's summer is going great.  School will be here before we all know it.  Dear Lord, where did summer go?  I know all the non-teachers have ZERO sympathy for us teachers.   Like they are all rolling their eyes right now at this very moment...:)

Love,


~H
