Computer Problems again!

We have had a great, though slow-paced summer.  I had been hesitant to plan many activities since I knew we'd have a newborn around and didn't know how I would be feeling with night-time feedings taking up valuable sleep time.  Thankfully, Vaughn is a great baby (just as easy as Ronan was, if not easier), and together we have been able to master breastfeeding while laying down, which is a wonderful way to still get enough sleep to face the day with three very active little brothers running around.

 

There have been a few highlights this summer.  First, was our annual trip to the Northwest Washington Fair in nearby Lynden.  We go with Auntie Delta and try to get there first thing in the morning and spend all day there.  I have lots of pics, but for some reason our computer is acting up, so I can't post any (yet).  Fingers crossed that I can soon.  Another highlight was a family vacation in Oroville, Washington (the southern tip of Lake Osoyoos).  We rented a house right on the lake, which was great since the boys could play at the water while we watched from the patio.  Delta came out for a few days.  Again, pics to come if I can get the computer to co-operate.  The biggest highlight this summer continues to be our new baby, Vaughn, and we are all glad he's here and getting so big already!  Smiles and coos have started in the last few weeks, and they are so precious.  I love the baby stage!

 

School starts on the 3rd of September for Ronan (2nd grade already!) and Latham's preschool starts in the middle of September.  It will be quite interesting having the two oldest out of the house for large chunks of time.  I don't know if it will necessarily be quieter since Finnian talks non-stop (seriously folks, NON-STOP) when his older brothers aren't around.

 

Check back in a few to see if pics are up yet.  I hope Collin has time to fiddle with the computer before another business trip to Australia/New Zealand.  He had a few months of no business trips around Vaughn's birth, but now he's back to his busy traveling schedule.  So far this year he has been to Australia/New Zealand, Phoenix, Argentina, Japan and Winnipeg.  There have been some exciting things happening on the work-front, more details to come in another blog post in the fairly near future.  Hopefully, pics can be included.

 

Have a happy rest-of-the-summer!
