Swimming Up for Air

Yes, I really am alive! We have been so busy and I feel like the only time I am home is to work before we leave again. I have so many fun pictures to post of our trips to Lake Powell, San Francisco, our family reunion in Idaho, and Steve's big fishing trip to Alaska with his dad! Work is going well and in all of our "spare time" we have been trying to finish up our new adoption profile on Parent Profiles!

I have been reading so many good books lately, while we have been in airports or driving someplace. Yes, I read the 4th and final vampire book, and can say I think it was ok but not my favorite. It was somewhat predictable but surprising as well. Basically, she ends up with everything she wants despite it going against what "traditional vampire" lives are all about. Anyway, right now I am reading Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters and On Account of Conspicuous Women. The latter is by a new author Dawn Shamp. She is a wonderful writer who writes the story of four women in the south during the time of Suffrage. It has had me laughing out loud and re-reading several paragraphs just to laugh again.
