A new reason to continue with my blog!

It has been a really long time since I have blogged because life has just gotten really busy! I have been enjoying life more without having to record every detail. However, Jana informed me that I can get this blog made into a photo book for a reasonable price, and I would love to have these memories on a hard copy for the children one day when they get bigger.

So, to add to my Summer, '09 recap, we have a bike race in Sedro Woolley and horse camp, when Cousin Katelyn came to stay a week with us.

Stay tuned for more updates.
