I just came back home from El Paso, and I’m so excited to still have one more month before the kids go back to school! No more going away every summer because of Jeff’s work! It’s been an adventure every year, visiting new places like the real Little House on the Prairie or exploring Washington DC or downtown El Paso. Both are scary and exciting places at the same time and for the same and different reasons, if it makes sense at all. But I’m glad to be home!

Although I kind miss the endless summers that didn’t have school/futbol/dance/piano/guitar looming at the end, I also love the routine school brings to our lives, and yes, the quiet and the time to read and write. I guess I’m into long sentences today, and that’s okay with me if it is with you. I’m blogging, mainly because I worried people would think I died or something. So Julie, here I am, although the plan was to blog every week. It didn’t go as planned, but here I am 🙂

I’ll upload some pictures later this week. I’m just getting used to being back home and knowing we’re not leaving any time soon.

How’s your summer been so far? I know Julie has had a ton of adventures and experiences. I want to see some pictures too. And Tiffany? She’s been to Europe! Her pictures are amazing! How about the rest of you?
