We are a little over half way through summer and boy have we had FUN! Adam has been away on his rotations for all but a few weeks so the kids and I have stayed busy (and cool) by swimming, hiding out at the movie theater and eating TONS of ice cream! We've dressed up like "mom", cheered on the Durham Bulls, strolled in the Apex 4th of July parade (Adam and the kids were even on the local news) and wasted many an afternoon at the museum. I am running out of things to do!

I can hardly believe how long it has been! My dad reminded me that keeping up with this website is important (at least to him) so here I am in an attempt to catch up. The last few months have flown by! To celebrate Easter we took the kids to the annual Horace House Egg hunt. The day took a major turn for the worse when terrible news from California made its way to me. My dear friend's three year old son passed away and so I found myself on a plane bound for CA that afternoon. Adam happened to be on a two break from school so the kids stayed with him in NC. Two weeks later I was back in NC heartbroken and exhausted. Returning to NC was no easy task. My parents and I made the CRAZY decision to "road trip" me back to NC. This trip would normally take 4 days-but with my parents it took FOREVER! I actually had to take a flight from Little Rock, AK so that I would be back in Chapel Hill in time for Adam to start clinic. A few days later my parents arrived. This whole experience made me realize just how far North Carolina is from California....

Two weeks away from the kids is too long! I flew into NC on Mother's Day and it was wonderful to spend the day with my babies. And speaking of babies... 12/31/2011!
