Catchy title

Yeah, I got no catchy title. I failed miserably at my effort to blog more often, but it wasn't my fault. Well, a little it was, but not completely my fault. Our computer died, which makes it much more difficult. I could have blogged on my Kindle but... well... I didn't want to.
So, what have you missed? In no particular order...

Cookies for Enkutatash. Mer wants to eat her cookie. Kai is ambivalent. Hana is worried because hers is dripping. Best. Picture. Ever.

Uncle Aaron got married and the kids gained a new cousin.

 These two love each other.

 First day of school! I may have sobbed on and off all day. It is unhealthy. I'm ok now.

 Kindergarten

 Pre K

 1st grade

 The actual first day of kindergarten, because the first day was only orientation.

 Zooing.

 Camping with some friends. There were 22 of us, 13 children under the age of 10. So fun.

 I guess you could call this camping, but it was considerably more luxurious than the tent variety. But we were in the woods, so it should count, right? We stayed at a lodge in Northern Minnesota. It was so beautiful. And so much fun to have our whole family together. The kids went on their pontoon ride.

 Crazy marshmallow eyes!

 Dancing in the woods in the dark. So much fun.

 The crash. An aunt is a good person to crash on.

 More running in the woods. Why don't we live here?!?!  We are missing pictures of playing kickball in the rain, which may have been one of my top 10 favorite memories. I don't remember the last time I laughed that hard. Trees make pretty ambiguous bases, especially when some people have a pretty tenuous grasp on the rules anyway.

 Eleanore. Oh Ellie. She makes me want another baby so much. She is so sweet and fun.

It has been a great summer. I'm so sad for it to be over!
