the new normal

Blogging. It's been hard. There have been so many feelings. So many ups. So many downs. But we're cruising into summer with what we hope is a smile in our hearts---hoping to find the new normal.

In the midst of figuring out who is doing what to whom and when, we've been getting back to our weekend warfare of cramming as much as possible into two short days to maintain our sanity during the work week.

Luckily, we got a three-day weekend in for Memorial Day. County fair, hanging out around the house, going swimming, a little golf and grilling with friends. We laughed. We smiled. We were together.

Relaxing at Club Carol

Last weekend we closed out the baseball season ...

 ... and made our way to Tahoe to see family that was on vacation.

Sidenote: J1 has such a strong love of family and is so happy to see cousins who we don't see often. For the past three years, she has asked for a family reunion for her birthday party. Sweet girl. This year though I think she'd rather go to Disneyland.

We are feeling all the #summervibes. We will continue our quest for the new normal and try to squeeze some fun in when we can. It's going to be a good summer.
