We're still here, but...

apparently just don't have much to blog about.  Our great friend Andi summed it up best on her blog with the following:

"It has been so long since I've updated this 'ol blog. But it's funny, the longer I'm here the less the experiences I have impress upon me the need to record them. They become less out of the ordinary. I don't carry my camera with me as often and my journal, instead of filling with the happenings of the day, is a place of introspection and answerless questions."

Life is pretty "normal" for us now.  We've got our routine, we're settled in, and it really takes something crazy to shock us now!  We're happy, healthy and busy, but none of that is very interesting. But, we'll keep up with this - we're done with one year in our community, which means less than one year to go! 

A preview: The next blog to come promises to be of real import - a discussion on the abundance of rain, and thus, mud in or community.  We know you're sitting on the edges of your seats waiting for it!
