2 good excuses why it's been a while

So I haven't been as good about blogging, but I have such a good excuse, two in fact. First, we moved my computer (I am one of the few with a desktop, crazy I know) from the living room into our bedroom. I had felt like it was too accessible and it was! Moving it out of there has been great. I can't believe how much I love not being online as much. Our pastor spoke last week on patience as a fruit of the spirit. One of the things that he discussed was recent research that points to email and the accessibility of having everything now is leading to people being more stressed and impatient. With the two girls I need all the patience I can get so I am dialing back the technology and I have to say that it has made a difference. Claire naps in my room while I put Chloe inthe crib in their room. That leaves me in the middle with no computer. The first day I took a nap and it was great. The second day I canned the raspberries from the CSA, plotting to bribe all of the people who work with Claire with yummy treats during winter when berries are no long growing and super expensive. So the excuse is, that I just can't get to the computer during afternoon naps when I typically blog. Here is the second excuse, I am really tired from having so much fun! Both Chloe and Claire are amazing and it is summer and I just want to enjoy them. I don't want to think about how hard Rett is if I can pretend it isn't that bad for a little while. I am sure I will be back here soon lamenting the horrors of Rett or stupid people that don't get it, but for now, I am just going to stay focused on having a fun summer. Here are some pics of what we have been up to.

Love the pics! I need to try disconnecting from the computer as well, I have a lap top and I even take it over to my sisters when the kids want to swim in her pool! I'll try and stop.... next week! :) So glad you're having a great summer! The berries look wonderful!
Oh and 4 weeks to go!!!
