I feel like I've been blowing up Instagram lately, and while I try not to over-post I did post almost a picture a day this last week.  This is surprising since I spent all of last week trying to figure out what day of the week it was each day of the week.  I guess the Memorial Day holiday got me off schedule....

As I mentioned in the previous post, we're back home after a mini vacation to Branson (read about last year's trip to Branson here), and still recovering from a few days of colds and travel.  Once I got out from under the huge pile of laundry that always accompanies a family trip somewhere, I was eager to get back into our normal routine....
