My blog has had some problems this summer, which are now resolved--making it much easier to post. So a little back-blogging is in order. Namely, our big family vacation that we take every year to Maine.

Usually we go in August. This is our fourth year going, but this year we went at the beginning of July.

The day we left New Orleans, and the most fabulous place we've ever lived, in 2005, our dearest friends left, too. Like, we pulled out three hours after they did. They moved to Maine, we moved to Philly. When we first visited them in 2007, I began to wonder if we got the short end of the stick. We've gone back every year, and every year, we have to pry ourselves away from Maine, scheming of ways to never have to leave.

Hanging on the hammock with Marlowe and my two nieces. We celebrated Katarina's third birthday.

Zipping down to Lancaster. Chilling with my aged grandmother for very short periods of time. Just looking at my boys exhausts her.

It was Christmas Outfit Sunday today.
