Because this blog now has two purposes (What We’ve Been Up To in addition to What I’ve Been Thinking), I feel I should share a quick recap of recent places we’ve been and stuff we’ve done to appease family and friends back home. Please imagine some catchy, indie-rock/folk song playing in the background. Thank you.
We also drove over one of these…

I got sick and grumpy in the back of the car (sorry, everybody!) but the rest of that weekend was really fun.
One night when Ryan and I took a walk around the block, our kids did this…

because they’re weird.
One day, when I was pulling out of the driveway, I looked in the rearview and saw four of these wandering through the backyard…

(Look closely, it’s a deer!)
One morning, I found Max perched in the window like this…


It was hard to watch, because we sat directly in front of this…

The best part was the signature slushy drink that makes your tongue look like this…


Friday evening we went here…

And loved it. (And paid $13 in tolls on the way back. Thanks for the warm welcome, east coast!)
OK, we’re all caught up now, but that song’s gonna be in my head all day now.
