The blog has been neglected these past few weeks. I was tempted to update from the road, but then I ended up doing things that were infinitely more fun than waiting for my mom's slow slow slow internet connection. But I know there are a few people (okay, one person) who wanted to know what we've been up to. So, this is for you, Nannie. Smoochies.
Oh Montana, how I love thee...

oh, these photos are just wonderful, Mary. Makes me terribly homesick for Montana. I love Sadie's Orange County Choppers tricycle, hee hee
