I'm here! I check in periodically....but haven't seen any new posts in awhile. Maybe we should mass email everyone and remind them to post! I'd love to hear about everyone. We should try to meet up for a B2W at Homecoming this year. I can't believe it's been 10 years since college. Man, we are old!

I just got back from Salem - Lauren spent a few days there by herself, and Mallory and I went to pick her up. It was a quick trip and I'm glad to be home. We are out of our routine and I'm anxious to get back to it! We spent a week in Corolla in June - it was a great trip, but it was with the ILs. Overall, I like the idea of a big family trip, but it was a little too much togetherness, if you know what I mean....My FIL is best in small doses.

Mallory celebrates her 2nd birthday in two weeks. We are having a "hula by the pool-a" to celebrate with a couple of other families. I can't believe my baby is two! Lauren is 4 1/2 and we are starting to think about kindergarten. Although I've always been a proponent of public schools, the city schools leave a lot to be desired, so we are thinking about whether we need to move or apply to private schools. I know what you mean about being attached to your neighborhood, Amy! The suburbs are just not the same here, and I would miss my community sooooooo much if we moved.

My brother gets married next June and both girls will be flower girls. We are looking forward to that! Other than that, we are just spending time at the pool and enjoying summer camps. Hope everyone is enjoying their summers!
