Home again, home again, jiggedy jig.

Friday night we arrived home from a wonderfulamazinglovelyincrediblefantasticsuperb vacation visiting family in the Black Hills.  I feel a bit bad for being MIA for so long, but since we got to hang out with about 90% of the people who read this here blog, I figure it was probably okay.

While we all work through our family withdrawals ("See Papa Brama? A Sou' Dakota?"  "No Michael, we can't see Grandpa and Grandma today."  "Papa Chuck! Brama Maxine!"  "No, I'm sorry, we can't go to Grandpa Chuck and Grandma Maxine's for lunch."  "Cousin friends go?"  "Your cousin friends are back in South Dakota.  I'm sorry.") I'll be posting some of the highlights from our trip.  I don't know if it will make my withdrawals better or worse (probably both).

The boys were pretty much champion traveling buddies (all three of them! Alex is my hero for packing up the car so efficiently both ways).  Here we are traveling through Wyoming:

Coming soon: Storybook Island, hiking, family pictures, out takes, and more!  Thank you to all the SD Rappanas and Mattoxes for hosting us!
