keeping up is hard to do

For any of you who have been worried, I am not dead. Just busy. I usually update on the weekends, which works... most of the time. But when we have a string of FIVE WEEKENDS where we are out of town or visiting friends who came from out of town... well, blogs take a backseat. So to all of you in the backseat, hang on a few more weeks. We'll be home soon.
