It’s not that I have forgotten my blog, it’s just that for once, our lives have been pretty normal! Last update centered on Drew’s 11th leg surgery to remove some hardware in each leg.

Summer Vacation is Here
I know it’s been an unusually long time since my last post. It’s definitely much harder when school is out finding lengthy periods of time in which I can escape to my laptop in another room, thanks to a nosy 4-year old who is obsessed with tapping the keys of said laptop whenever he’s…
