Blog break


Has it really been that long since I last blogged???
I would like to say that we were away on vacation or relaxing, but that would not be the case. We have been going through the daily grind with our foot on the gas. I forgot how starting another year of school can totally consume our lives. This past week we put the brakes on and are enjoying some family time while on Fall break. We have 2 weeks to just stop and do whatever we want. We decided instead of taking a little vacation, we would relax and do some work around the house. When we get 3 weeks at Christmas, we will escape to a cooler climate and get away from the grind and heat!
We have done a little of everything from shopping to cleaning, painting to redecorating, and a little fun mixed in to. It is still HOT! Ugh, we are so sick of the heat. While friends and family around the country are enjoying cooler temperatures and the joys of fall, we are still blasting the AC and sporting our summer apparel. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year, but not in Arizona:( While I have my pumpkins, leaves, and ghosts spread around the house, we are still not in the fall spirit!
We are enjoying football Sunday's, yummy soups, and bike rides to the park. It just doesn't take away our desire to be bundled up with a blanket or enjoying the apple orchard. We are considering a change in our lives, but are not sure what or when that will be.
I have not taken a ton of photos lately, but I do have several to share from the past couple of months. I need to make lunch for the wee ones, but I will be back with some photos later. Enjoy this one of us at San Tan Flats, our favorite steak place here in the desert!
