:: and the long lost one returns... until another dry spell, at least ::

Three months. Long time, I know. Here is my run-down of our latest & greatest.

MAY brought really fun things for us. Jack found four teeth in one day. Ick. Poor boy. We made it through it though. He loves showing off his new teeth! We put offers in on some great homes (short sales, thus the multiple home offers) since we decided to stay in Utah for a few more years. We're still waiting on that one. We took Jack on his first hike on Memorial Day... who knew he loved hiking so much?!? I'm sure it is more than likely the fact that he got to ride.



Oh... I turned 33. So weird. 33 and almost as many white hairs sprouting out of my head. Needless to say I found myself in a funk for a few days. Not because of the white hairs, of course. Just the fact that I remember when my mom turned 33. I don't know why that hit me as strange. At least I'm proud of my white sprouts. I earned every one of them! {Please note that on the custom wrapping by my lovely sister, there is a cake ablaze with 33 candles and the kind consideration of a fire extinguisher. The mind reels what she will think up for my 40th!}



This picture is just hilarious. Here is my boy trying to help his puppy escape with his bare teeth. I always knew I grew a jungle cub.



JUNE brought more waiting on the house, more teeth for Jack and picking up crawling speed by the day. He'll be running before he walks, I'm sure. I've been doing a fair bit of design for an up and coming new apparel company. T-shirts for now. Branding, logo, shirts, print schtuff and I've taken up a little copy writing which I am having a great time with. Lots to do. Early work from April here. More on this later.



I went on my first sans-John weekend to Montana with Jack. I... will never do that again. Fun with family and tons of fun with Grandma-Great and my sister Jen in the car, but man. Tough. Oh, and did I mention how cold it was? Still, always a great time at the cabins. Look.






Back home, Jack fell in love with swimming and we had a great Father's Day for John. I am so grateful to have a husband who is absolutely cuckoo for our son! He is such a great daddy!





JULY, the first half so far, has been awesome. Family reunion with my side up in Montana at Hebgen Lake. Ryan drove all the way out from Ohio with his cute family. Good skiing. Beautiful weather. Great food. Jack loved his cousins so much! We loved the Ligretto game Jen brought up. She made addicts of all of us! July 1st, Jack took his first 5 steps on his own. Unfortunately, he decided that walking isn't nearly as fast as his speed crawl. He'll get there. Pictures to come along with more details.

Whew! I've done it. Consider yourselves relatively caught up with the busy Luangraths for now. Cheers. Happy summer!
