Where do I start with the updates?

Well, since my last post we survived the holidays, attempted to adopt a baby into our family in January, returned the baby to her birth mom in February, survived another birthday, survived my twenty year reunion .....yada yada yada

I guess you can say I've been in "survivor" mode for some time now....things are easing up a little, but now I've caught the bug to do some remodeling/decorating around the "new" place.... I hope to get back into the postings again!

7th Annual Lake Party

Yesterday we had our 7th annual lake party and it was so hot!

Beaver's Bend

We spent the weekend at Beaver's Bend with my parents, brothers and sisters and their kiddos. Was a fabulous relaxing weekend and I wish we were still there....

Winos

Tonight we hosted a Chilean wine tasting at our house and had about 40 people bring wine and snacks to the house. We hadn't been to a monthly wine tasting since before we moved so it was a nice change. The weather was nice enough to mill around outside in between wines, but because there were so many people present, it was easy to get sidetracked from Nicole's very educational presentation. We look forward to the next!

Survived Another Year

Not quite unscathed, but definitely for the better.
