Did you miss me?

Ok, ok. So it's been awhile. Well, forever in blog land. But I have pictures. Oh, do I have pictures. So many in fact that I have no idea where to start. Hmm. . .



Well, we spent all last week at Table Rock Lake in the Shell Knob, Missouri area at my Aunt & Uncle's lake house.



Growing up, my family spent a lot of time at Table Rock so I love taking my family. It is so beautiful and peaceful there. Plus, it was a great way to meet up with my parents, aunt & uncle and my cousin and her family. We don't get to see everyone enough, so it's a joy when we can make our paths cross.



Plus, Charlie made a new friend—her cousin Taryn. They were often holding hands and though they didn't "play" together much, they were very concerned for where the other was. Big improvement from their very first encounter 2 Christmases ago. Charlie was 9 months old and Taryn was about 5. Charlie made an exuberant squeal and Taryn started crying.




I love big family meals outside. Not sure what it is, but they're so much more fun! We always wind up staying out way past when the sun goes down just talking to the sound of crickets.





I'll leave it at that for today as I don't want to overwhelm!!

(and Kelsey, we missed you!!)
