Summer Recap - Part 1

The summer has been very busy and with Maria home everyday not napping, it has been a little more difficult to update on a regular basis.  Even on the days both the girls napped, I just felt like vegging out and reading or watching TV.  I've been been pretty exhausted lately with my new hobby (more on that later), and with out recent membership to Netflix, I have found a new guilty pleasure - the show Brothers & Sisters.  I know it was cancelled after the 5th season, which just ended in May, and I'm sad about that.  However, I'm right in the middle of season 3 and determined to finish the series.  Then I guess I will let Gerry cancel Netflix because it hasn't been as fantastic as we thought it would be.  Actually, it was a big disappointment, besides Brothers & Sisters.
Anyway, here is our summer, mostly in pictures. Here is all the stuff I wanted to blog about but just couldn't find the time.  Hopefully, now that Maria is back in school, I will get a little more time to myself and more time to update.

 Took Naomi to her first movie - Cars 2. 

At the end of June, Gerry took some vacation time from work and we spent the whole week doing fun stuff around St. Louis.  We were lucky enough to have our niece Hailey join us.  On Monday, we spent the day at the Magic House.
