Eeks!!!
This was likely the longest ever hiatus we've taken from the blog. It's one of those things you see -- where the longer you wait... well, the longer you pause!
Mamma has the usual list of excuses of course -- life's been busy -- I've been so tired, etc etc etc. The list just goes on and on. The truth is, well, I've been tired! Haha. We've had to sort our life out, particularly the period btw May and June.... (and now July eeks!!). They are always a nightmare.
As I sit now in bed... tapping away on my laptop channeling some my inner Carrie (or am I dating myself now?) -- I literally had to tell myself, "no you're going to do this."
That's how the creative juices start flowing you see -- little by little, piece by piece.... and even if it's just a snapshot of your life at the time -- well, it's worth it!
To give a very quick rundown of life since Mother's day (sheesh!!). We celebrated mamma's birthday in the Caymans, which was LOVELY. This was followed by a frenzy of activities in early June (largely involving preparing for Kindergarten graduation -- or as munchkin's British school calls it -- "Year 1"). That takes us pretty much to the end of June (interspersed by Father's Day, of course, which we will chronicle). So yes, I did miss an entire month right there.
Then off we went to East Hampton for the weekend -- because that is how we roll. There was a pool, loads of BBQ's, munchkin went back to the Children's Museum of the East End, which he loves (we've had so many great adventures there!!). This was interspersed with a reading of "Montauk has a hungry shark" at the Book Hampton. Last I recall -- we met Alec Baldwin there!
That takes us to (drum roll)... July!!!
Which is how we arrived at today's post isn't it. I tell you I had an entire narrative planned in my head on that very day, but was simply too knackered to write. So here we are, nearly at the end of July -- and I'm just capturing it. There was sweltering heat (though the last few days have taught me that we ain't seen nothing yet) -- there were loads of BBQ (again)... and time spent in the pool. We rented a farm house in Southampton and the kids had a fabulous time. I just wish that I had the energy to remember all of it! We even attended the Fourth of July parade in town! Which was truly a spectacle to behold. My oldest munchkin also hit up the local carnival on not one, but TWO nights in a row. So yes, I guess you can say that we made the most of our foray in Southampton.
Next stop -- North Fork! Stayed tuned for more updates there.
P.S. It sure feels good to be back!!!
