back on track?

Hello all,

Sorry I haven't updated in so long. Also sorry to make you switch to this new site, but I like this blog service a lot better. Last time I tried to update on WordPress (a few months ago) I couldn't get it to post pictures. So, this will be the blog's new home, and maybe I'll be able to update it more often.

To catch up, let's do an update in pictures, roughly one for every month I've been absent. I last posted in January at the other address. Apparently I took no interesting pictures in February, but here's one from March:


We saw the Sixers play the Celtics. The Celtics won.

In April the city was really beautiful with all the trees flowering (again I took hardly any pictures this year). This was in Washington Square:




In May we went to the baseball exhibit at the National Constitution Center and saw a bunch of traveling stuff from Cooperstown (including Mike Lowell's hat from last year's World Series):


Also Travis and Kayla came to visit us:


June was really eventful. My mom came to visit, but I apparently took no pictures when she was here.

We went to Bonnaroo again:


We saw the Red Sox play the Phillies:


I saw Day One of the women's gymnastics Olympic Trials:


And we went to my grad school friend's wedding in North Carolina. It was a beautiful drive, and I picked up a new state (West Virginia) that I'd never been to before. This is in Tennessee:


In July I went to the writers' conference in Washington, and it was as beautiful as usual, maybe even more so:


Then Shannon came to visit for a few days. And now we're looking forward to coming home at the end of August. Luke is still playing baseball, but I'll let him talk about that if he wants to.
