A Quick Update

As many of you know we had a very busy month of July which just flew by! Sorry for the lack of blog posts but I thought I would post some highlights of our July so I could catch up a lil bit.

So, this is what our July looked like:

• We went to IL to visit family and friends for a week
• We brought our nephew Matthew back to Virginia with us for a week
• We went blueberry picking with Matthew at Great Country Farms
• Benjamin, Matthew and I went to see the Disney movie "Wall-E"
• We had our good friends (and old neighbors) from the Philadelphia area visit
• My sister-in-law, Nancy Duda, and niece, Ellen flew out from Illinois
• My brother, Ron, and nephew, Christopher drove out from Illinois
• We went to the Sandy Point State Park, Annapolis, MD (the beach!)
• My digital camera went under water while I scooped Samuel out of the water (Samuel came up smiling. The camera is no longer working).
• Benjamin went to the Dulles Air and Space Museum with Uncle Ron, Aunt Nancy, Christopher and Ellen
• We enjoyed dinner and entertainment at a Japanese Steakhouse (where Benjamin even caught a shrimp in his mouth that the chef threw at him!)
• Samuel had a whole bunch of teeth arrive!
• Benjamin transitioned out of his toddler bed and into a full size bed
• I was diagnosed with carpel tunnel in both my wrists
• Somewhere in there Don celebrated another birthday!
• And the most exciting thing that happened is that we're now down to 75 days until Daddy-O's return

With all that said. I will have lots of photos to share and I didn't even mention the few things we've done so far during the month of August!

I hope to be back blogging regularly soon!
