Endless Summer

Sorry we've gone dark for such a long time; really, it's that we've been way too busy having a great time to post anything. So here, for your viewing pleasure, is our summer. I'll keep the words to a minimum.

Destin, Florida (early June)

TJ loves wearing my shoes:

Grandpa Tom turned his back deck into a personal hot-tub for TJ. What an awesome grandpa!

The Pioneer Day parade in Idaho. The horse-obsession began here.

TJ figured out the game (wave at the people, they throw candy, he picks it up) really quickly. Please note the sucker in either hand.

Hiking in the Teton Valley.

The horse obsession intensified here:

More shoes

AND TJ TURNED TWO!!!! Birthday cake:

Opening presents with Grandpa Tom.

And since TJ is so obsessed with horses, what else would we get him for his birthday besides a rocking horse?

In October, Rob and I went on a romantic get-away to the Buffalo River. We did some beautiful hiking, stayed in a remote B&B, and canoed.

And explored one of the Ozarks' many caves.

Rob and I met in Washington, DC during the summer of 2004. We went on a few great hikes together, and really enjoyed each other's company. But alot still had to happen before the time would be right for us to get together. In May of 2005, Rob organized a trip to Peru to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. I went along with the group, and romance blossomed in the high Andes atmosphere. We were married December 10, 2005. The years immediately following our marriage were spent in Washington, DC, where Rob was finishing up his residency in otolaryngology. We then moved to Little Rock, AR, for a fellowship in pediatrics, and in September of 2008, our first little boy was born. After 15(!!!!!) years of education, Rob was unable to find any other way to delay getting a job, and we moved to Oklahoma. In May of 2011 our second son was born to annoy and entertain his big brother. These are the days!
