Return of the blog?

Well, I can't seem to get any work done.

And I am getting sick of facebook as a mode of communication with family and friends who really care about what we are doing. 

So, I am going to ATTEMPT to blog again. 

Eventually, I will have a few more tabs to keep SewStella a bit separate from our little family adventures...

But here are some shots from our recent vacation to Illinois.  Now to catch people up... we are currently in West Georgia.  It has been pushing 100 and very humid since mid-May.  So, to escape the heat, I packed up the kids and we went to IL.  Growing up in northern IL, I NEVER would have considered it an escape from the hot humid summer... but that was before my sister in law got a pool!

 This is moments before we left... pouring rain... it made the 3 day drive pretty interesting... 

 Stop One: Nashville TN area, hanging with Bertolone Family!

 How else do you handle 4 kids?

 Skipped a few days... but here is Aunt Jessica w Stella (who refused to wear her floaties)

 Christopher just wanted to eat Doritos... who wouldn't???

 Fun at Aunt Katie's: trampoline running...

 screaming 4 wheel rides

 Christopher actually had a blast on 4 wheeler

 Visiting with Grandma Blood

 Got all four kids to sit!!  New Chicagoland residents: the Mahon Family

 Got to visit with my sister for a few extra minutes!

Lucky enough to have Cassandra ride back to GA with us... this is before we took her to airport downtown Atlanta--it was HOT. Well more humid than hot... so it was GROSS. 

And that was about it... Got to see some other friends and family and missed photo ops with them (Kellie, Patience, Jessica!) but next summer I might not always have one child attached at the hip???
