Sorry about that....

Whoa! Almost 2 months of not blogging.  So sorry!  (I hear echos...).  So in order to feel 'caught up' on my blogging you're going to get the last 2 months in pictures.  We've been busy with some traveling, a new school year, Ash working a ton (fingers crossed on the two projects he hears back on this week!).  And now we're gearing up for Helena's 5th birthday and a few family visitors in October.

So, a recap:  We met up with my brother Evan & his girlfriend Kailey and two other friends as well as our good friends Erin & Todd & Alex & John in Moab, UT for a long weekend in August.  We visited Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park and had a grand old time.

Picnic!

Alex, Helena & Harper - don't everyone look all at once!

 I also went on a girls trip to Santa Fe with Aimeeliz and Erin.  We had a lot of fun eating, drinking, shopping and horseback riding.
Oh, and wine tasting.... yummy!

Our rancher / guide - Russ "the buffest cowboy in the west!" He was awesome and smelled like whiskey.
Ash went to Detroit over Labor Day to his step sister Susanna's wedding.  We were sad the rest of us had to miss it.  Looked like such a beautiful and happy day.

My mom visited us as well, and we took a little trip to the Uinta Mountains here in Utah.  Hiked to Wall Lake...beautiful!

Helena & Harper - first day of new school year.  Helena in her last year of preschool and Harper in the 2 year old class. :)

Helena was stoked to get her face painted at the farmer's market.
