Travel Weary
We have been traveling a lot the past few weeks. I am tired of travel at this point, but there is only more to come. In May we went to Florida for a week. In June we went to the Farm for a week. In July we visited my family in Kentucky for a week. In August we went to Des Moines for the Iowa State Fair one weekend. Then we spent the week before Labor Day at the Farm again, getting ready for the big Labor Day party with the in-laws. We came back for two-and-a-half days and then left again for the farm to attend a wedding. All of this with a baby of course. Who is teething. She has been a champ though. At 7 months old I think she’s more well-traveled than some adults I know.
Coming up, we have a trip to Louisville for a grad school reunion and visit with Grandma this weekend, then three whole weeks at home before two weekends of back-to-back weddings, one in New Jersey, the other in Iowa, then home for another two weeks before a marathon trip, starting in Florida for a family reunion, then to KY for a week with my family, then to the Farm to join Ben to wrap up his hunting trip there. Then of course more traveling for the holidays. . . Sometimes I wish we just lived close to our families.
Above are a few pics of the most recent travels. Though it has been tiring, we’ve had a great time!
Intro
Well, I’m new to this, so please bear with me as I learn how the heck to do it.
My humble vision for this blog is for it to be a way to share life in Wiscy with my family and friends that is more personal than Facebook. Don’t get me wrong. Facebook has it’s place and has served me well for sharing photos and videos of Miss with my loved ones who don’t get to see her on a regular basis. But I am hoping for something more true to our day to day here. Motherhood has certainly made me come to realize, even more than I always have, the importance of maintaining close ties with family. I want my family be able to know my daughter and share the joys of her existence. Since I’m not able to do facilitate that with physical proximity, I’m hoping this will help. Ahh, the wonders of the internet.
Speaking of which, I am pretty intimidated by some of the amazing blog-feats I have seen. I won’t lie, I have some blog-envy. I’m hoping to start with learning how to post photos and link to other blogs, then we’ll see if I can get fancy. All in due time.
