As you can see, I'm none too good at starting new projects. So here it is AUGUST and I'm posting my second time. Since April we have had multiple crazy things happen in our family: school got out, the car burned up and in the process started the house on fire, we have a dog now, the kids and I spent the summer in Washington, and Dustin took his first national board certification exam. Crazy stuff! Now the kids are back in school--Melia in second grade and Ethan in Kindergarten. Savannah is bored (and me too a little) and Dustin is already deep in the throes of his second year at dental school.

Here's to blogging on a quarterly basis!
