Recapping what I didn't blog about this year...

 Rang in the New Year with my crazy family...

In February, we surprised Alicia for her shower-that-never-was (but we got in some great girl time!).  I don't know why I have crazy eyes in this pic...

We had some sun in March, but then it left...we're still waiting for it to come back and stay a while (on the news they are calling this month, "June-uary"...

We had the Goolsbys (and Matthew) up for a visit - we crammed in a lot for a short trip, including a visit to the market, the coast, and a cupcakery just for Marla!

After the quick visit from our Georgia family, we headed to Texas to meet our new nephew, Parker.  Amazing - these pictures say it all!

 As timing would have it, Parker's birth coincided with a Dabney/Smylie Mini-Reunion and Charla's birthday!  I was able to get in a few snuggles with Mr. Ian, too.

So, there is a lot more, but this whole blogging thing is a bit overwhelming, and I have some cleaning and packing to do - Peru, here we come!  In just 3 days...

Maybe one day I'll be a good blogger...don't hold your breath!  Happy summer!

How is it June?  Seriously...Now I just need to get through my National Board exams on June 11th.  Ugh.  Then I'll be able to think about blogging, and going to Peru, and what to do with the rest of the summer!

Alicia and I have been working on another blog to help us stay organized and on top of meals for our families...I'm so tired of last minute scrounging for something to eat for dinner at 9 pm!  This is our attempt at a solution: Feeding Our Families.

Let me know what you think...any suggestions for meals?  We are planning to add a section for freezer meals/batch cooking, but we're not there yet.  How do you plan for meals?
