absent much?

so sorry we have been m.i.a. this last month.  we've been a little pre-occupied and a lot smitten with this little guy. 

my new nephew, dean tyler. 

i promise to catch up soon!  i still have to share about em's last day of school (see below), friends, and vacation bible school (this week)!  hope you guys are enjoying your summer thus far.  it's hot as heck here!
