Hello.

My name is Meredith.

And this is my blog.

Just in case you forgot who it belonged to.

It's been so long that typepad made me type in my password.  Yikes!

I have SO much to blog about it.  A whole summer in fact.  I have updates all the way back to JUNE.  I've never been this behind.  3 boys + 3 different ages = a very busy summer with no down time during the day.  I have LOVED it – it's gone by way too fast.

Jacob just left for his first football practice – heaven help him.  We're worried.  But excited for him.  This begins 4x a week practices.  Our life will be football for a while.  

After practice Derek is heading to the Robinson Farm with the boys for some R&R – fishing, shooting, relaxing.  

And tomorrow I'm leaving on a jet plane for a lower-temped climate in the mountains (thank you!) – a week of religious/parenting/continuing ed-type classes at BYU in Provo, UT.  I'll be staying in dorms (with a roommate that I have yet to meet) and I hope to do some hiking and exploring while I'm there.  Looking forward to a week of growth!  But I'm already missing my guys.  They're having "boys camp" with Derek while I'm gone.  Derek is the most capable dad on the planet, and hardly misses a beat when I'm gone (other than me having to show him how to work our new washer and dryer!).

When I get back it will be time to start school (boo!) and I'll have blog posts coming out my ears the likes of which will have you begging me to stop!  Things like:

sports camps

Father's Day

fun outings

Caleb's b'day

Caleb's baptism

the circus, the museum, the library (are those three allowed in the same sentence?)

our anniversary

Rangers and Cowboys (the sports teams, not the heroes of the wild west)

and much, much more…

Stay tuned.

    Been wondering if your flotation devices failed and you had drowned! Sadly, will not be attending Ed Week, so will miss this opportunity of face-time.

    This is somewhat off-topic, but it occurred to me as I was looking at that picture of Samaleh. You know, he is going to be a very handsome man. Not that your other lads will not, they certainly will. But I think Sam’l will be exceptionally good-looking. There’s an unformed classicism lurking behind those toddler features.
