Wow. It's been a month since I abandoned this blog for the welcoming cool, green arms of northern Utah. Four weeks of family, cool nights, no cooking and no cleaning. I won't bore you (or cause envy to stir in your hearts) with all the familial details. However, to satisfy your curiosity I'll briefly highlight some of the pleasantest moments:

Brother Brig's wedding

Bear Lake with In-Laws

that is the Little Rat (#3) in the middle, laying out with her cute teenage cousins

Little Rat honing her gaming skills

an evening swing in Provo for #3, Nana and cousin J

picnicing in Green Canyon

Brother Miguel at the historical farm

#1 posing with the buffalo - oh, I miss those mountains!

old fashioned tea party at the historical farm

trying out the new swing at Grandpa's cabin

See. Just a few pictures. That wasn't so bad, was it?


And now if you'll allow me a few moments to reflect upon the joys of returning to the desert.

1) 105 degrees at 11:00 pm Sunday night when we pulled into the valley of the sun.

2) finding and catching a baby lizard IN OUR HOUSE!!!!!!

3) our lawn is dead.

4) free hot water (take that, suckas!)

5) eating asphalt as a result of running before the sun comes up (103 at 4:30 am)

Oh, so many joys. Too many to count.
