Moving, etc.

OK - a quick recap of the last few months. Sorry I haven't been posting, but you know, we've had some big things going on.

June: The kids finished school, went to day camp in Champaign, Kestrel participated in swim team for part of the season, Kestrel went to the 4H overnight camp she had been looking forward to for the past year, my friends threw me a very nice going away party, and we moved out of our apartment.

July: Spent a week in Paul's apartment in Rochester, movers came and we moved into our new house July 6th, kids went to the YMCA day camp for three weeks, tried to unpack, met some neighbors, and slowly getting to know our new city.

August: The kids and I spent a week at my parent's beach house (Paul had to work), more day camp for the kids, I had a nice weekend away in Galena, IL with my Champaign girlfriends, and we are expecting our first visitors this weekend (YAY!)

Here are just a few pictures from the last few months (recent to older):

These small pictures (from my phone) are from our week at the beach.
