I'm their aunt...so I can't help myself






















I took these pictures the day before I left for girls camp. I've been dying to get to them since.

I'm BACK! It feels so good. And boy, there are so many stories about the week I just spent in the woods.

Life moves forward at a breakneck speed doesn't it.

There's no waiting around for people without Internet access for over a week.

My husband surprised me by exchanging services with a green home cleaning company. Four girls cleaned my house top to bottom this morning for 4 hours! That's 16 hours of cleaning I'll never do. It's the most pampered I've felt in a long time.

And although I want to write everything down, and spend all day on this computer...there is much to do, and so I leave with the one blessing that's nothing short of a miracle...

I escaped the TICKS! (well, ticks that were attached anyway)

Great pictures! And congrats for escaping the ticks (eww!).

Oh, what I wouldn't give for 16 hours of house cleaning done by someone else. SO awesome. What a great hubby you have. :)

What beautiful kids! Wowy!!

i'm so glad you had a blast at camp. i always thought if you could catch girls camp on film, it would make a great reality show!

ps-Dear Dave, Please call Mike Tolman immediately... I too could use 16 hours of cleaning =)
