Summer . . .
Umm. So where did these past couple of weeks go?
Oh, I know. They went into zoo seeing, and lake swimming and park swinging . . . and not a bit into blogging. Maybe some cooking. It seems like I let these last weeks of summer slip right though my fingers and into the open arms of my children. Sorry for the posting neglect, but it’s been fun doing nothing but play.
This week has ended our blissful days of swim lessons and ice cream cones with sprinkles. Brendan started school again, and my little girl’s first day of preschool is today. Instead of doing the responsible thing and slowing our summer fun down, I’m going to rebel and squeeze in one last trip. Before I give my husband up to law school one last time (graduation here we come!), I will make this season of happiness last just a little bit longer. Tomorrow, we’ll be loading up the kids to go to Seattle.
Brendan and I are attending the International Food Blogger Conference in Seattle this weekend, and I cannot believe we are still going. The speakers are amazing. The food will be top notch. I guess if I actually survive the 14-hour car ride with my two little ones, maybe it will be a bit more believable. Maybe.
We are encouraged to do live blogging/tweeting at the conference, I’m going to try my best to do so. So please, check back often.
It’s my last hurrah to summer.

I just have to say that first image of your daughter is simply spectacular: summer in a nutshell, from the little braids down to the lovely bare foot. So much energy! We just had such a wonderful summer here with our own kids, who’ve since started school (obviously) but this took me back. Luckily, there is still lots of good weather still to come in the south of France…
