And the blogging is slim. There’s just so much going on around here. Who can find the time to record it? Therefore I will offer you a photographic essay to explain my absence from the sphere of blogism.
The kids have started swimming lessons and they’re in a class together, although we’ve had to skip twice this week due to the near-death plague ravaging their bodies. This is probably for the best since at the last lesson Magoo’s face nearly exploded and it’s such a cute face, I’d like to keep it intact.
We’ve been cavorting with pirates.
Running all around.
Eating more than we should.
Bonding as a family.
And going on late night walks around our neighborhood in the perfect Puget Sound summer weather.
I’ll totally have more time for blogging when the school year starts and I’m teaching the youth at church, serving as the co-communications board member for the PTA, teaching at Magoo’s co-op preschool, running SeattleMomBlogs.com, and working on my other writing projects.

I hear you! The summer is so packed full of fun, family memories! I love the bathing suit shot. (I especially like that they’re covered up with their towels – smart choice for the web!) Enjoy the rest of your summer!

those have got to be the most adorable pictures of magoo. it’s no wonder you adore him.
your last sentence cracked me up. you have such a way of communicating the silly ways that we think and pointing out subtly how silly they are. i’m forever thinking that i’ll have more time when i get to my next phase and i never do have more time. then again, when you have things to procrastinate that feel a little more like chores and a little less like playing, you might be able to find more time for blogging!:)

I actually started that sentence meaning to type about how I’d have more time once Laylee started school, but as I was typing I realized how ridiculous that was. Ahh… I may never have more time but I keep having more fun.
All Adither says
Those are some darling kids!
The Daring One says
I think I shall keep them.
Stephanie says
I love his hair!
KYouell says
i agree that Magoo is adorable, but I love that swim photo of Laylee. She’s got that clear-eyed looking-right-at-you expression that my daughter gets. I’ve yet to get her to do it when the camera is in my hand, but I can’t wait.
The Daring One says
It really is a hard one to catch.
Lori says
Good to know you’ll have more time for those of us who love you.
Rebecca says
Aw, you guys are having fun!
I’m not having trouble finding time to write so much, but finding time to comment? Phhhph, I stink.
The Daring One says
Yes… And I have been so much better at commenting than you… We do what we can, yo.
Rebecca says
I think EVERYONE has had trouble commenting right now!
Paige says
LOVE the pirate picture.
Janel says
Are your kids perfectly photogenic, or is it some amazing camera skills? Such great pictures. You have many talents. We’ll forgive your blogging absence!
